Pauline & Jeremy!!! Fantastic warm welcome! You can tell that these owners absolutely love their guests. Too many details to mention from the private jacuzzi to concierge services provided by Pauline. Beautiful interiors, comfortable beds.

My wife and I loved this place. It was smaller and quieter than your typical hotel or resort. The hosts provide a nice little breakfast each morning (croissants and baguettes with local jams, plus fresh fruit and juice). The pool is nice, as are the views. The property is a good location on the island, in my opinion. Easy drive to Anse Marcel on the northern tip (phenomenal beach up there). Also easy drive to Grand Case (best food ever) and Orient Beach (great scene in general). The hosts were...

This is the perfect place to have an ocean view room that is beautifully done. The hotel doesn’t offer a ton of amenities, but it’s in a great location on a beautiful beach. Come here to enjoy time with a partner, have access to beach restaurants and activities and rent a car to explore the island. Our concierge, Junior, was amazing and saved us by getting our passports to us after we had already arrived to the airport!

Everything about this Inn was excellent! The owners greet you with a smile. My stay started with happy hour in the veranda overlooking the pool. During my three night stay, happy hour was the place to connect, meet the other guests staying at this unique B&B, and make new friends. The breakfasts were simple, but filling with lots of choices for varied tastes, including delicious island marmalades. In fact, I went to the supermarket to bring home the guava one — so delicious.

The hotel, which is only a few weeks old, and which is owned by the same people who own Sol E Luna nearby, is a classy, first rate property, right on the beach in Grand Case, with a staff that couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. All nine rooms have balconies with full ocean views. The design and styling are very contemporary and absolutely perfect. And, oh, the dining scene in Grand Case can't be beat!

First time to the island. This resort was absolutely beautiful. Two areas for sun and beach.

We snorkeled around the resort, saw lots of fish, star fish, and found about 10 whole sand dollars! Food was very reasonably priced and delicious. Drinks were good - not watered down. Staff was very helpful and kind, check in was easy and our room was ready when we arrived. Rooms had all the...

There are a number of restaurants and bars within walking distance, which our kids really liked because they could go out without waiting for us to drive them somewhere.
