Is St. Barths / St. Barts really expensive?

It all depends on where you want to stay and what you want to do. It is a place for rich to vacation but that also means that not everyone there is a millionaire. One millionaire wouldn't want to wait on another millionaire. Just like every other resort place. Just it is all in the media so you think it is. I mean to stay on a luxury place yes. To go to all the fancy clubs and stuff yes. but to go there and be a normal person and live like a local no.
