Karibuni Boutique Hotel

Karibuni Lodge is a fantastic place. The views are stunning. The rooms are clean and the location is perfectly situated near you need or want. It is super quiet at night. Best part is the staff which treats you like family, doing anything they can to make you stay relaxing and enjoyable. I can’t wait to be back.

Although not for lack of enthusiasm, I'm a little late writing this review. This was the third year in a row celebrating my wife's birthday at the Karibuni. As always, we had a wonderful visit and vacation. We stayed for a week and enjoyed our third different villa. They are all well-appointed and comfortable, basically the same inside with slightly different pools and views. We have requested two weeks next year -- we really can't get enough of both the Karibuni and St. Martin. Sylvana, Elliot and Manon, as all the other review suggest, are exceptional at welcoming and making our stay relaxed and easy. Anything from booking a taxi, a massage, excursion or dinner reservations. We use WhatsApp and communicate with the team whenever needed. At this point, we've done a fair amount of exploring. I recommend working with Elliot and Manon and work with them to set your agenda/itinerary. Everything from visiting Pinel Island, which we do several times during each visit and is a great benefit from staying at the Karibuni, the other beaches, massages, and of course the restaurants to the sunset cruises and day trips off island. They have not steered us wrong. We rely on taxis for all transportation. On average we spend about $50+ per day. At most it's $40 round trip, including tip, to Grand Case and Orient, but we typically go to Marigot and the Dutch side a few times which is more expensive. If you want to explore, probably best to rent a car. You can't go wrong at the Karibuni!

Out stay at Kijani Villa was perfect! Nestled in the tranquil bay of Cul-de-Sac with stunning views of sunrise, this villa offered everything we could have wished for during our vacation. The villa’s modern design and thoughtful layout made it feel like a true home away from home. Every corner of the property was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with top-notch amenities. From the well-appointed kitchen to the luxurious bedrooms, every detail was carefully considered to ensure maximum comfort and convenience. The outdoor spaces were beautiful with the covered terrace perfect for our morning yoga sessions, and the lounge chairs were ideal for soaking up the Caribbean sun. The nearby dock was convenient for pickups to Pinel for a day of sunning, relaxing, and eating. The staff at the restaurant were the absolute best and made for another great birthday on Pinel. Thank you to the Karibuni team for making our stay so memorable—we can’t wait to return!

Amazing boutique hotel! Feels very private and peaceful. Very friendly staff, excellent fresh breakfast everyday, gorgeous views of Pinel Island. They even coordinate daily boat transfers to Pinel Island, which has a great beach and restaurant! Just a short drive to amazing French restaurants. Feels very private and peaceful, pure paradise! Will definitely be back!

We returned this year and staying in a different suite. The room is tastefully furnished--can't beat the view! Savanne makes a beautiful, delicious breakfast. She also takes great care of the rooms.The kitchen is nicely equipped, bathroom well designed and has nice amenities. Beach towels are conveniently in the room. Best of all, the staff: Manon and Elliott are always gracious and very helpful. The only reason for me to NOT give a great rating, is to be sure there's still room for us!

Karibuni Hotel was amazing! Elliott was a delight at every step of our trip. Being greeted in the morning by Savannah was the sweetest start to our day. Pinel Island is breathtaking but the view from our suite was magical. Can’t wait to come back!! The suite was clean, comfortable, easy to access, with incredible service everyday.
