Karibuni Boutique Hotel

Although not for lack of enthusiasm, I'm a little late writing this review. This was the third year in a row celebrating my wife's birthday at the Karibuni. As always, we had a wonderful visit and vacation. We stayed for a week and enjoyed our third different villa. They are all well-appointed and comfortable, basically the same inside with slightly different pools and views. We have requested two weeks next year -- we really can't get enough of both the Karibuni and St. Martin. Sylvana, Elliot and Manon, as all the other review suggest, are exceptional at welcoming and making our stay relaxed and easy. Anything from booking a taxi, a massage, excursion or dinner reservations. We use WhatsApp and communicate with the team whenever needed. At this point, we've done a fair amount of exploring. I recommend working with Elliot and Manon and work with them to set your agenda/itinerary. Everything from visiting Pinel Island, which we do several times during each visit and is a great benefit from staying at the Karibuni, the other beaches, massages, and of course the restaurants to the sunset cruises and day trips off island. They have not steered us wrong. We rely on taxis for all transportation. On average we spend about $50+ per day. At most it's $40 round trip, including tip, to Grand Case and Orient, but we typically go to Marigot and the Dutch side a few times which is more expensive. If you want to explore, probably best to rent a car. You can't go wrong at the Karibuni!

What a wonderful place. Very quiet with a great view of water and pinel island. We had a unit with a plunge pool which was great to wake up right and dip at night. The private boat was a very nice way to get to pinel and the restaurant with reserved lounge chairs awaiting. Service was good and food excellent. We would highly recommend this spot.

Amazing boutique hotel! Feels very private and peaceful. Very friendly staff, excellent fresh breakfast everyday, gorgeous views of Pinel Island. They even coordinate daily boat transfers to Pinel Island, which has a great beach and restaurant! Just a short drive to amazing French restaurants. Feels very private and peaceful, pure paradise! Will definitely be back!

wonderful location wonderful view wonderful staff. Total privacy in the premium suite. We were able to enjoy breakfast on our terrace with a wonderful view of the Caribbean Sea.

Karibuni Hotel was amazing! Elliott was a delight at every step of our trip. Being greeted in the morning by Savannah was the sweetest start to our day. Pinel Island is breathtaking but the view from our suite was magical. Can’t wait to come back!! The suite was clean, comfortable, easy to access, with incredible service everyday.

We can fully recommend the hotel. It's a small boutique hotel but you don't want for anything. In contrast to the large hotel chains, personalised guest service is very important here. Every request is dealt immediately and you are made to feel welcome straight away. Wonderful, thank you! From the bottom of the heart!!!
