As we are packing our belongings to depart today, there is an extreme wave of sadness. We do not return home, or back to "reality", but instead we continue our island-hopping adventure through the Lesser Antilles. My husband and I seriously thought about canceling the remainder of the trip so that we could stay here, at L'Esplanade, with this amazing... More

Lovely room, great service, and perfect location for easy access to some delightful restaurants. The pool was quiet with a nice bar with grilled sandwiches. Wish the location had been on the beach, but it was just a short walk away. Parking was easy and the grocery was only a two minute drive away. Would go back again without hesitation.

The L 'Esplanade is everything it claims to be. Great views of the water; within walking distance of the restaurants in town; easy access to the main roads to Marigot and Orient Bay; and very nice rooms. Even though it's a hotel, the loft we stayed in has what amounts to a full kitchen. That makes it easy to save... More

Rooms are modern and comfortable. Furnishings first rate. Nice views of harbor. Quiet. Hotel is very well cared for, and staff is friendly and helpful. Swimming pool area is very pleasant with lots of trees for shade and a nice swim up bar. Rooms have well equipped kitchens, but proximity to numerous wonderful retaurants makes eating in not likely.

When the catamaran we were to stay on couldn't make the passage to St. Martin, we showed up on the island without a place to stay. We drove from the airport through the Dutch side, looping through Little Beach, Great Bay, Dawn Beach, Oyster Pond, and then through the French towns/ beaches Galion, Orient, French Cul de sac and Anse...

This is our second time, after a several year absence (we stayed at sister hotel Le Petit, twice in between). We are so glad we returned. First of all don't bother reading this review if you require the following in a hotel: turndown service, spa, fitness center, on site restaurant, casinos, lively nightlife. Also, the hotel is probably not for... More

We were very excited as this was our first time anywhere in the Caribi and we booked a week and a half in late Dec. If you expect anything like a hotel or resort you'd be let down pretty heavily, this is more like a nice apartment compound on a hill overlooking Grand Case. You can call the desk and... More

We spent a week there and had a great time. It’s everything you would expect from a high-end boutique hotel in the Caribbean. We had a nice two-level suite with a king-size bed, a nice size living room, and a little kitchen. I wish I could point to things to complain about (even small things) but I really can’t. First...

We could not have been more pleased with our choice of hotel for our honeymoon! We just returned a few days ago, and we did not want to leave. We stayed for 7 days, 6 nights. If you're looking for a unique, customer-service oriented, boutique hotel that's in walking distance of the island's best restaurants- then this is your spot.... More

L'Esplanade hôtel is a beautiful quiet hotel away from the fast pace that you see elsewhere on both the Dutch and French sides of the island.The rooms are beautiful and the balcony overlooks the beach on a hill The rooms face west so you have a sunset every night then time to walk to dinner.Quiet, tranquil ,yet a 5 minute...
