Of all the Islands St. Bart’s is our favorite. Great restaurants,trendy shops,very nice people. It is definently expensive but worth it. Will need some patience with the tendering but heck your on vacation.

We loved our yellow submarine ride. But we found locals to be rude. Very high end shopping. Checked out a shirt at one store. $1500! Needless to say, it’s still there. I needed a pair of pull on shorts. I paid $70. Ugh
