Hotel Mermoz in St. Louis


We stayed at Hotel Mermoz, which is located on a sand barrier island, next to the island where St. Louis is located.  The island is narrow, running north and south, so it was easy to watch the sun rise over the water facing St. Louis and the sun set over the Atlantic ocean.
The hotel had lovely grounds.

This is the southern tip of the island about a 15 min. drive beyond the hotel entrance.

We drove down to the end of the island as far as we could go without a four-wheel drive vehicle.

Need I say more?

Marje, Vicki and Nalla on the patio outside our rooms. We each paid about $30 a night, for room, breakfast and dinner!  The food was great. 

The screened-in dining room is on the right.

The setting sun, a short walk to the beach from our rooms. 

Sun rise, looking across to St. Louis island, just across the street in front of the hotel. 

A dip in the pool each afternoon after returning from sightseeing became part of our routine.
