The Carl Gustaf is magical. A short walk ro Shellona beach or the hotel will drive you. The spa was spectacular. I had a massage & facial that were second to none. The view of the island is magnificent. The staff are lovely & helpful. The rooms are spacious w/coffee pods, drinks & munchies. A true luxury experience.

This property is worth every penny. I am use to luxury accommodations, however Le Carl is next level, with Japanese toilets, high quality everything and the staff is happy, kind, and always in a great mood and willing to help. The hotel is walking distance to everything. I look forward to coming back soon!

Located atop a mountainside overlooking the beautiful Gustavia Harbor and providing amazing views, this hotel was well worth the hefty price. While it was the most expensive hotel we have ever stayed in, it was also the most luxurious as well. The concierge was amazing at setting up rides and provide tips for our stay. All staff were exceptionally friendly and made you feel like a VIP right from the initial complementary beverage with a view when you arrive. Lots of amenities within the room that are helpful on your trip and are provided within the price of the room. The rooms are spacious, modern, and have comfortable beds. The room we rented had a private pool right in the balcony area - highly recommend it! The location is walking distance to the Gustavia Harbor with lots of shops and access to the ferry services as well. I have never said of any other hotel that it was so clearly the best hotel, but Le Carl Gustaf has earned that title well above and beyond any other hotel that I have stayed in before! Would definitely stay here again!
