While St. Barts allows you to leave the world behind, it doesn’t ask you to forego too many worldly pleasures.  Nowhere is this more evident than at Le Sereno.  With only three villas and thirty-four suites along its secluded cove, Le Sereno is truly a place to get away from it all, while having access to your favorite creature comforts.  For me, these consisted of a coconut treatment at the spa, and the restaurant’s bouillabaisse – which is seriously good.  The coconut treatment was wonderfully fragrant and reminded me of my favorite suntan lotion; it left me feeling like a quintessential island girl.  As for the bouillabaisse, the credit goes to the hotel’s new Chef, Jean Louis Brocardi, who was brought on in November of 2012.  He has been a wonderful addiction to Le Sereno’s Restaurant des Pêcheurs.  You also can’t beat the ocean views, and all of the villas have them.  The room where I stayed was wonderfully spare and elegant, and I loved the way the open space allowed the breezes to come and go without any fuss. The minute you walk through the bright red doors in reception, you know you are in for something a little bit French, a little bit Caribbean, and altogether wonderful.
