Inevitably every time I travel, there are places and people that I don’t get to visit.  Although I am sorry to miss them, it gives me a reason to start planning a return trip.  On my most recent visit to St. Barts, I did not have a chance to stay at the Christopher, although I was lucky enough to have lunch there with the hotel’s GM, Sebastian.  We had lunch poolside at the hotel’s Mango Restaurant.  The pool itself is worth a visit; and if you are a little more adventurous, the Christopher gets some of the best surfing waves on the island.  In truth, I am more likely to stop at the spa than to watch the waves – and the Christopher is renowned for having one of the best spas on the island.  They feature Sisley products and their signature phyto-aromatic treatments.  Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to book a treatment on this visit, but I loved spending the afternoon talking with Sebastian about St. Barts, watching the waves break, and planning my return.
