“Great hotel at a great price”

I stayed at the Mercure even though it had not been reviewed yet and I must say I was very pleased. The mostly French hotel staff is very friendly and helpful and also speak English. The room was clean, the buffet breakfast had a nice selection and the property was well maintained. Even though the room had an LCD TV, the selection was mostly French and no CNN; but who wants to be inside a room and watch depressing headlines on a beautiful island like this. They have internet computers at a small fee. Don't expect any toiletries in the bathroom aside from liquid soap dispensers. But, this is a great hotel at an affordable rate. I will stay there again for sure.

“I took a chance and it worked out well.”

only 1 concern, telephone message was left for me and i never received, excellent breakfast, great pool, wonderful beach, rooms right on the beach.

“Excelent value for the money”

We booked this hotel for a last minute 3 day trip. I was mainly looking for the cheapest place that was nice, and got exactly what I was looking for. This hotel is very European so things like ice are hard to come by and the breakfast was ok, it was included in the rate. The room was great except the beds were a little harder than I am used to. The staff was very friendly and English was spoken by most. The pool area was very nice. All of the amenities they list are current. I will stay here again, I average 180 nights a year in hotels.

“Worth it!”

We didn't have high expectations of the hotel, since it was the cheapest on we could find that said it was on the beach. Well, it was not on the ocean, but it did have a cute little beach, that nobody really swam it. Overall though, worth the price, clean, very friendly service; French, English, and Spanish were spoken by the desk attendants.We had a great stay and it is a very short drive to very beautiful beaches.

“Very nice place to stay”

Very nice, clean, peaceful place to stay for your vacation. Spacious rooms with balcony facing Simpson Bay are giving you all comfort you need. Great breakfest buffet with plenty to choose and eat. Good beach for taking sun bath but not too good for swimming because of sea grass.

“liked the location and hotel”

my husband, myself and another couple booked two rooms at the Mercure Marigot Bay, St. Maarten after a week long sailing charter. It was good to be on land and we were pleasantly surprised at the hotel and the amenities. The staff was friendly and checked us into our rooms early. They were next to each other like we had ask, right next to the pool and resturant. However, I would recommend grabbing a cab and eating somewhere else for dinner as the food at the resturant was not that good. Other than that our stay was more than we expected having booked online site unseen.

“Our second stay here”

This hotel is a good value. It is not a luxury hotel and the prices are not luxury prices. We enjoy the small, but not crowded beach on Simpson Bay. The breakfast is plentiful and the location of the restaurant (open to the beach and bay) is very nice. Smoking by other guests can be a problem.

“Needs renovation.”

The rooms do need a renovation. Esspecially the bathroom and the doors.

“Great deal”

We wanted a small hotel (not a high-rise resort) and got a great deal at the Mercure. It's on a quiet lagoon with calm water and there is access to the oceanside beach about a 10-minute walk up the road. There is a grocery store and liquor store a 5-minute walk in the other direction. The hotel room was more like an apartment, with a full bed plus two couches that were really daybeds, two full bathrooms, and a balcony with small kitchenette (although the water was turned off to that sink and we did not try to use the stovetop). The only complaint was the mattress was extremely worn out. We both had backaches after the second night. So we flipped the mattress ourselves... and slept much better for the rest of the trip! Guests there were definitely not a young crowd. We are 30 and 35, and were the youngest there by far. But we appreciated a nice quiet place to stay and we would stay there again.

“Not impressed”

I received to many bug bites, in my room. No hotel activities, plus no one in the beach water, due to the rocky moss under the water.
