However, for a bit of nostalgia you can dine at Andy’s Hideaway because Andy bought their chairs (which still stay “Le Rivage”) and you can sit in one of them and reminisce. If it is for some of their yummy menu items and their famous Rhum Vanille, Hervé the former owner of Le Rivage opened Côté Port and it is located on the harbor. Steve and I dine there all the time.

As far as the former St. Barth Beach Hotels is concerned, a luxury hotel, Nilia was being built in the hotel’s place but construction was halted for financial reasons. From Bruno Magras, the President of the COM, Bruno, “The property is owned by a hedge fund from Britain and Switzerland and they are asking 65 M euros for it”. He added, “It is my understanding that people are trying to negotiate with the bank to buy it for a lesser amount.” We are all hoping that someone will buy it and finish it.
