We spent four nights at Le Grand Bleu while in the area for two weeks and wish we would have spent more of our time there! Sylvia and Gerard were very helpful, welcoming, and engaging. They always had time for our questions and gave us good suggestions. When I needed to see a doctor for an unexpected allergy, Sylvia arranged... More

Every year we return to this part of Orient Beach. This is truely a perfect location. Very close to the beach (walk 2 minutes max). The rooms are basically the same as other nearby hotels with better furnishings, and a better more quiet air conditioning system. Gerard and Sylvia make this hotel very special. Very pleasant and very sincere in... More

We just got back from our third trip to St. Martin and have to say that it was by far the best one yet. We are in love with this island, and are now in love with Sylvia, Gerard and Guillaume & Le Grand Bleu. The rooms are spacious, clean and well equipped, and our room had a lovely garden... More

I've been coming to this hotel almost every year for ten years. I love the location and the convenience from the beach restaurants and bars to the stores where you can buy fresh croissants and baguettes. My wife loves the beach and gourmet restaurants located nearby in Grand Case. Over the years the hotel was declining gradually and hit it's... More

This hotel has changed management many times over the last 5 years but I have to say---the present management couldn't be any better. Spent a week on Orient Bay in December of 2011 and had a wonderful stay. The room are simple efficiencies but all have been recently painted and the excellent maid staff keeps the rooms very clean and... More

Just came back from 5 days at Le Grand Blue before moving on to the Weston, Dawn Beach. The Management / Owner Gerard is a jem, the staff very accomidating. The real advantage to Le Grand Blue is the location, set back from and roughly centered in the busy / animated Orient Beach the length of which goes on seemly... More

We stayed in November 2011 for a week. I found it difficult to book this hotel as I was informed it had closed down, but it is bookable under it's new name Le Grand Bleu. But the Telephone number published is incorrect. If you want to contact the hotel the new number is [--]. We have stayed here many times... More

This property is part of an apartment complex. The rooms have a small kitchenette walk out balcony and bath. It is a short walk to the beach. If you really want to go see Orient beach it's not a bad place to stay. It's a short walk to Le Village D'Orient. There are a lot of places to eat and... More

This was our sixth trip to St. Martin in the last 14 years. We stayed at Caraibes Beach hotel in 2005 when it was still Cap Caraibes. We love the location being on Orient Beach and having beach privileges (chairs and umbrellas) with Waikiki Beach bar. The hotel needs some updating. The faucet in our kitchen was very wobbly and...
