Is St. Barts worth the price, according to Reddit?

According to Reddit, St. Barts is worth it for the beauty, but travelers should arrive knowing it is one of the most expensive destinations in the world. That’s the verdict of a 50-comment r/LuxuryTravel cost AMA: “St Barts is a beautiful place, but it is one of the most expensive destinations in the world.” Nobody in these threads disputes the beaches, the food, or the polish: the debate is purely sticker shock, with peak-season villas and hotels running four figures a night. There’s a workaround the hotel threads rarely mention: arrive by boat. A charter anchored off Gustavia or Colombier delivers the island’s beaches and restaurants while the yacht replaces the four-figure room. See the St. Barts itinerary.
