Poor advice. St maarten is a great place as well. St barths is great in its own right but way different.

Simpson Bay yacht club happy hour is fun. Get there early and get a table on the deck. Great atmosphere and crowd watching the bridge open and watching all the yachts enter and leave the bay.

Pizza galley is nice too right down the road after happy hour. Getting a table on the pier and a pie is a nice dinner.

Mary's boon on Simpson Bay is a cool spot to eat breakfast and check out the sail boats and yachts anchored in the bay with your toes in the sand. Gets packed so get there early and get a table.

I've been a few times and have stayed on both sides and have dined all over the island so ask away if you have other questions.

Not an option plus I have this place for 9 days. If I like St. Barts which I am sure I will I'll go there again. We got to the Caribbean 3-4 times a year now.
