La Sagesse Boutique Hotel, Restaurant and Beach Bar

I am not usually the type to write reviews, but our recent two-week stay at La Sagesse Boutique Hotel, Restaurant & Beach Bar deserves to be recognized for its exceptional care and rare magic. From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found something special. Our beautiful two-story, all-wood room felt both luxurious and warm, with air conditioning for comfort and an outdoor shower tucked under the canopy of beautiful trees — an experience in itself. In the mornings, we could step outside and be on a palm-fringed, white-sand beach in under 10 seconds. The setting was pure paradise: calm turquoise water, soft sand, sunbeds, kayaks, and snorkeling gear ready to use. The restaurant was exceptional, serving fresh local dishes, the daily catch straight from the sea, and vibrant fresh juices, it was a joy to dine there. At night, the space transformed — softly lit with white string lights, creating an atmosphere straight out of the most dreamy movies. What made our stay truly special was the peace we found here. We both work in high-stress environments, and for the first time in years, we were able to slow down, take barefoot walks along the shore, soak in the sun, and simply be present. Every detail seemed designed to make life easier and calmer — from the fresh water buckets with floating flowers outside each bungalow to wash off the sand, to the gorgeous decorative touches throughout the property. The staff were extraordinary. Every single person we met was welcoming, friendly, and eager to help. They arranged incredible excursions, and with their trusted driver, we explored the entire island. When I unexpectedly needed to see a doctor, they organized everything within minutes — calmly, efficiently, and with genuine care. That level of service is rare anywhere in the world. It’s telling that guests from other resorts would wander over, fall in love with the atmosphere, and decide to come back daily and spend their days at La Sagesse. We can’t blame them — the combination of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and genuine hospitality is unmatched. La Sagesse is more than just a place to stay — it’s a place to breathe, to reconnect with yourself and each other, and to be cared for in a way that feels deeply personal. We will carry the peace we found here for a long time and cannot wait to return. If paradise exists on Earth, we believe it might just be here.

This lovely quiet hotel is well positioned on La Sagesse Beach. Our room was delightful with views over the hotel gardens and out to sea. The staff were attentive and professional. There is a restaurant and bar attached to the hotel which is a bonus because the food is excellent. I loved the art which was dotted all around the hotel. I would stay here again - a great base to explore the quieter areas of the island.

A gem of a place! I can't say enough great things about La Sagesse. If you are looking for a relaxed, laid back retreat on a beautiful beach, with great swimming, great food and wonderful people, and a place to unplug and relax, this is the place you want to be. While the other side of the island is fairly busy and touristy, La Sagesse is a place apart and a rare find. The owners Mike and Lynn, and Sammy and Caroline were incredibly warm and welcoming as were the entire staff. The dining room and rooms are all right on the beach and lovely and food is great. There are options for different walks, as well as great swimming. We look forward to returning, joining many regulars who have been devoted guests for decades.

I have only ever been to the restaurant but the fact that i keep coming back says it all. The food is always well prepared and tasty. The staff are always pleasant, smiling, engaging. The location on the beach is idylic, & relaxing. The construction taking place in the distance is indeed and interuption of a lovely landscape but this will eventually come to and end. Keep up the good work

Rooms were nice and very clean. Resort was beatiful, grounds well maintained. Beach groomed every morning. The staff were amazing. Very accommodating. Sammie will help you find everything and John will take you there safely with a smile and a story. You can even stop for local lunch is you are feeling adventuresome. Andrea, Wendy, Ariel, Rachel, and everyone in the kitchen and bar will make your day better. Food was excellent FRESH FISH EVERY DAY. Being from the Midwest this is a ++. Shout out to Tyrone and Eldridge for helping fix a dead shoe. You are all the best. M & M

First of all, let's get something out there: please do not go to La Sagesse expecting it to be some sterile Hilton or La Quinta plopped on a beach. It also is not a Starbucks or McDonalds. This place, perhaps uniquely, is a stalwart of what the REAL Caribbean beachfront hotels were...and still should be..but mostly are not. It is a diamond among rhinestones. We stayed in Ted's Room. The a/c was so efficient we had to turn it down. It was superb. The bed was 100%. The shower worked fine after we figured out to turn the hot water up all the way FIRST then add cold water. The staff are the best I have encountered in all my years of international travel, and I treat them as fellow travelers, not servants. The beach never had more than a dozen people on it in a week of good weather. Mike has something really special here, and we will be coming back as long as we can. As for the restaurant, Mike invited us to see the fish just brought from the market which I later that day had as a meal. Marlin is tasty! Go here and find the true definition of "laid back" without slackness.

I went to the restaurant for lunch on Monday. The food was delicious and incredibly fresh, and the service and view were both fantastic! What stood out the most was the dessert, surprisingly good and the perfect way to end the meal.

We were staying at an Airbnb 5 minutes from here so thought we’d try it for an evening meal. So glad we did. What amazingly tasty food and the welcome was so warm. The shrimp and goat curry were first class and desserts were absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend anyone to come and try this place out. We will definitely be back on our next trip to the island
