New Profile: The Hotel LeVillage St. Barth

Hotel LeVillage St. BarthHotel prices in tony St. Barth are such that anything under $200 is pretty much a bargain. The family owned Hotel LeVillage hits this wallet-friendly mark well -- the hotel doesn't have an abundance of frills, but you'll still get a nice, recently renovated room, a pool to cool off in, a fitness center, and a pretty garden setting. Remember, every dollar (or euro) you save here you can use to sample the offerings at St. Barth's renowned restaurants and boutiques!
