Getting access to the internet in St. Barts is a breeze.

WIFI Networks:

Free Access - ” Maya’s to Go” in St-Jean, as well as the Brasserie “Le Repaire” in Gustavia, offer their clientele free access to their WIFI network. Both are nice places to have a drink, or a meal.

For a Fee - St Barth Telecom, a local private company, has installed a “hotspot” covering Gustavia. You need to buy a connection card to surf without limit from Gustavia. Contact St Barth Telecom to find out how to get a card.
