Well I do love great wine, and I used to love St Barts, but I've never been what one would call a 1% guy. Our dozen vacations to SBH always were at a cheap location on St Jean beach (or what used to be cheap), and it used to be my favorite place in the world.
Then I gravitated back to SXM to stay in a villa in the Lowlands with their 3 great beaches. Nowadays that appeals to me much more than SBH.
SBH definitely misses out on the beach front villa scene.

From the article:
"The new St. Barts is St. Martin — specifically, the French side and never, ever the honky-tonk Dutch side, which is crawling with cruise-shipping day-trippers. The superrich don’t stay in hotels there, they rent villas. Former president of France Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife, Carla Bruni, often stay at the Villa Pamplemousse (translation: House Grapefruit) at Christmas."
I dunno......highly doubt St Martin would replace St Bart's. Perhaps it's a stop off enroute type of stay?
"It is good to do nothing all day, and then to rest"

Apropos to the 'which side do you prefer' thread.
