My husband and I stayed at the Gran Bleu for 10 days in early May 2013. We loved it! Minutes to the best beach where you can lay under an umbrella all day and enjoy the most beautiful water. The Gran Bleu is a small condo complex ran by a couple, Gerard and Delphine. The nicest and most helpful couple... More

We stayed here one night before we left on a cruise, wanted to see the island and experience the French side. Check in was great, staff is multi-lingual and very helpful and friendly. Room was very clean, big, huge bed, kitchenette, nice bathroom. Very close to the beach (about 1 block walk down a path), but not right on the... More

I stayed here when it was known as the Cap Caraibes, then Caraibes Beach Hotel, and now Le Grand Bleu. It is just a great place to relax. The room is large, clean, and contains a kitchenette, with a small fridge. The mattress is large and comfortable. The A/C is powerful, and quiet. The price is very reasonable. Unfortunately, the...

I originally chose Le Grand Bleu based on reviews from Trip Advisor. I had read many good reviews and when I arrived in St Martin was not disappointed. We stayed in a very clean and quiet room on the second floor and while we only had a sliver of an ocean view, our large balcony offered up a private feeling.... More

Just returned after spending (10) days here and would absolutely recommend the place to family or friend. The managers, Gerard and his wife Delphin, could not of been more courteous and hospitable. The rooms were clean and cool and quiet. The continental breakfast was more than adequate and you could have an American one if you desired. Parking was never... More

We just got back from a week at Le Grand Bleu, and can't wait to go back! Gerard was so hospitable, it was almost like a bed and breakfast!! You are steps away from the beach and the hotel grants free chairs and umbrellas at both Waikiki and La Playa. GO TO LA PLAYA, we unfortunately chose it on the... More

We could copy just about any positive review about Le Grand Bleu, repost it and be accurate. We found Le Grand Bleu using TripAdvisor and were thrilled we did. Here are the negatives. Almost no view from the room and one evening a week there is music. The way to deal with the music is to go to the party,... More

My wife and I spent 2 weeks at Le Grand Bleu at the end of January. We will go back there. The hotel is clean and well managed. It is well located but I would highly recommend renting a car to see other parts of this beautiful island. It is not a 5 star but it has everything you need... More
