Referred to by many of the returning visitors quite simply as paradise, the islanders of Saint Barthelemy are well used to looking after visitors and leave them with a impression of having spent time in a place beyond their imagination that leaves them afraid of the day they need to leave.
This is an island known for its famous visitors and it is very much in fashion, but there is no particular reason for people to go to St. Barths for a holiday. It is not the beautiful island as in some respects, not does it bear comparison with some of its neighbors. It is all about people and facilities, beaches, the amazing bars and restaurants that makes SB special.
People in St. Barths consist primarily of those raised on the island of native parents: then there is the minority groups of people, originating from France, Portugal and other locations with most of the latter hailing from the United States. Even though a part of Guadeloup and under French administration it is the Americans who are most influential, through the Virgin Islands economy which was conducive to getting wealth to the island during its time of need.
It is local people who are the backbone of the island, they are the bedrock of SB tourist facilities operating smoothly, with their generally happy demeanor complemented by good weather, provide the holidays of dreams.
