Les Ilets de la Plage is a resort of 11 villas and 1 studio apartment located on St.
“The location is phenomenal! Don't let the proximity to the airport scare you. If you've been to St. Barth's before, you know this is not a problem. If you haven't been before, it may be offputting. The airplanes are infrequent, not loud (only propellers, not jets), the noise lasts for less than 30 seconds, and the takeoffs/landings are a ton of fun to watch from your room/the beach.
The staff is incredible! They were always coming out of the office to ask us how our stay was and if we needed anything whenever we were going to our rental car (which is a must!). When we did ask for something (a clothes drying rack), it was brought to our room in less than 5 minutes. The staff is very, VERY, friendly. I've stayed at other hotels on St. Barth's (that have cost 300-400 Euros more per night than Les Ilets) and have never received this kind of service.
The villa we had (no. 12) was incredible and typical of all of their villas. A well air-conditioned bedroom (we're American, so this matters) with a shower room, dressing room/massive closet, and toilet room attached. The living area was incredible. The East side of the room was open and faced St. Jean Bay (AN EXCEPTIONAL, UNIQUE VIEW), the South wall was the entrance to the bedroom, the West wall was open and faced a private garden where some large turtles regularly came to eat, and the North wall was the entrance to our kitchen (which had everything we could need.) Although the living area was open (with a nice ceiling fan to compliment the omnipresent breeze the location receives), there was never an issue with privacy.
The room was cleaned every morning and not a trace of sand was found after the staff was finished.”
