Weekend getaways in Anse Marcel

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...

We stayed for 5 nights and loved the hotel but what made the stay so special was the quality of the service from Marion Idalia and the entire staff They were amazing so helpful and knowledgeable about the island. We felt as if we were staying with family. The hotel is charming as well with large rooms that include a large outdoor patio

This hotel deserves all the positive reviews. I read the few negatives reviews and worried it might be too small and downtrodden. Between booking and arrival and I was delighted to find the resort was small, provincial and homey-in a GOOD way! Pros- 1. on site wedding is easy to do. We had 6 people total, not a large group, though there is a canopied area that can hold a larger party. 2.beach area is clean and waves are calm. At the end of high season there were always people around...

We spent 4 nights at La Hibiscus. Really enjoyed everything about it. Florian gave us a free upgrade to the Jasmine suite. Large, comfortable bed, great shower and bathroom. Great terrace for sunning and looking at the mountains. We had the pool to ourselves which we loved. Very hands off approach by management which meant great privacy which we like. Only 5 minutes to Orient Beach….great choice of restaurants including a couple of breakfast places. Will definitely come back. FYI….renting a car...

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel L'Esplanade for a week! And it was out first time here on the French side and we enjoyed it a lot. Very comfortable and spacious accommodations with large bedroom, bathroom and Living/dining room with the full kitchen if you decide to ignore all of the restaurants nearby and decide to make a meal yourself. Big, beautiful terrace to enjoy breakfast or sip wine while watching the sunset. The pool is peaceful, and the food is freshly grilled right before you, while...

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!

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. Gated neighborhood 5 minutes on foot to Orient Bay beaches and restaurants. Good old fashioned bed and breakfast atmosphere. Oh!! The amazing, not-to-miss breakfast! Highly recommended.

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!

Beautiful area! Would definitely stay here again.

Third stay in St Maarten/Martin since 1993. By far the nicest hotel of my 3 stays. While not directly on a beach, a short drive to Orient, or across the street to Dawn Beach at the Westin. We were on the upper level, building B and had a great view of the ocean across the street. Actually you can drove about anywhere on the island in 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. We stayed the first week of November 2015 and full season had not kicked in. The traffic is slow and you have to be...

We took a trip as a family to celebrate three college graduations and an engagement. Due to the dates we could each go, we ended up needing to book it as three separate studios all on the lower level. After booking it as separate vacations on Expedia, I wrote to the hotel to see if they could make the rooms near each other. Within an hour we received a reply from Julie congratulating us on the engagement and graduations and saying that she would do her best to make sure we were near each...

Great staff! Had trouble with our rental car company and staff arranged to have different company drop car at hotel for us, such a breeze! Awesome morning breakfast, chocolate croissants were very tasty! Great proximity to the beach and a variety of restaurants in Orient Village. You MUST dine at La Table d'Antoine; best onion soup and duck breast w/5 vinegars, to die for!! Hotel has arrangement with Kakoa Beach Bar, so it as easy to get lounge chairs and umbrella each morning. If you're...

Horrible parking

My only issue was with the parking. There is only room for 3 small cars to park. Once we were unable to leave the premises because non-guests were parked in front of our car with no way to contact them.

My wife and I have been vacationing on St. Maarten for 15 years, and this was our first time at this resort. The staff are very nice and helpful. They have two great restaurants, one on the beach and one fine dining on the resort. We stayed for seven days which was perfect. During most days we were on the beach which was a three minute walk from our cottage. The CoCo restaurant has great food, friendly staff and the chairs and umbrellas are free to guests of the hotel. In the evening we ate a...

We rented a two bedroom unit (really two one bedroom units connected by a short hallway) with our 21 year-old triplets. It was a perfect setup for us. My wife and I took one unit, and our kids took the other. The resort is in a very convenient location- also very well-maintained. 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. There is a small grocery store about 100...

A relaxed stay with a great staff right at the beach

Comfortable, clean and close to beach, eats and nightlife. Staff is great - Ashley is super - made us feel welcome and evening staff assisted with plane reservations -- we'll be back

Super unique property, far enough away from big touristy areas. Mike and Fawnette was amazing hosts and catered to every need. Beach front with chairs for quests, quiet beach and great hosts- will stay here again!!
