La Voile D'or

Hotel closed - we wanted to stay here, and the hotel is still advertising availability. but it is closed and boarded up. Not sure what would happen if a booking was made and paid for, but definitely not available! Other hotels are nearby and offer views over bay.

Just can't fault the service or the food here. Wonderful on both recent visits. Other restaurants should take note! Had the fish of the day, which was filleted in front of me and tasted marvellous. Wasn't hurried to leave my table and sat soaking in the amazing surroundings. It is just possibly my favourite place in the world.

Me and my family arrived in Saint Jean by boat. Where we received no assurance with luggage. So we put the baggage on the trolley ourselves and brought it all the way to reception, where finally someone took our baggage. We were shown to our rooms; clean, but infested by flys and mosquitos hovering over our bed… We decided to not let this ruin our stay and asked for a booking in the harbors restaurant(La Goelette). During the night the bed was comfortable although lacking a variety of cushions. But the worst came the next morning, at breakfast. You must know my boys have quite the appetite and are usually not satisfied with one petite croissant or one slice of bread. Well at the breakfast you had a basket consisting of 2 croissants, 2 slices of bread, and 2pan a chocolates, 4 pastries and 2 slices of bread in total. Of course the basket was soon emptied, and when we asked the waiter for more the answer was no as we already had consumed our portion. After a lively discussion and my willingness to pay an extra fee for more pastries, a smaller basket consists of 2 pastries and a slice of bread was served… Other than the pastries there was a buffet, it consisted of yogurt cereal milk and a ham, cheese, and salami selection, the later which was shared with the local wasps. Well when i went to get my bowl of cereal and milk it turned out the milk was empty. So I returned to my table with my milkless bowl and asked for the re-filling of the milk. I waited and waited l, and just then my husband noticed that the milk had been indeed filled but left at the buffet. So he brought it to the table and poured it to me and my boys, not disturbed by the waiter I previously asked for the milk. After this we returned to our rooms and had to head to checkout, where we received no help with the luggage, neither from the rooms to reception, and from reception to our boat. At checkout we asked for a discount as two of the rooms we booked where left empty as our friends had a family emergency, but we had to pay full price. Fortunately it was just a one night stay….
