We were there over the Christmas vacation. We orginally booked a delux loft in Feb. Unexpected family emergency forced a cancellation. They did honor our reservation for the Christmas week. The prices increase for the holiday. We went from a deluxe loft for $445 per day to a deluxe studio for $495 per day before the 15% tax. The room... more

Stayed here for the Honeymoon. Was at first nervous not staying at a resort, but it was worth it. We rented a car, drove up easily to the French side, and everything went great from there. Staff here helpful, room was perfect. Morning breakfast in the room is the only way to wake up. Just leave the menu on the... more

I am writing this review now after spending a few hellish days stuck in an airport (yes we were caught in the storm with a 13 month old) and am feeling a bit melancholy not to be in St. Martin anymore or at this magnificent hotel. . First of all, most likely all of you reading this site are discerning... more

We spent 5 very pleasant nights at this hotel in a beautiful location on the French side of the island. The first week of December was also a very quiet time of the year.which was just what we were looking for. We loved our loft room.

Plus, I was in the hotel biz for many years, so I am very particular. This small, privately run hotel is wonderful. You... more

Rooms were clean and large, pool area was nice and staff was friendly. Not much more you can ask for. Located on MUCH less touristy French side of the island. Also, walking distance to town. L'Escapade restaurant in Grand Case is not to be missed. Also, very close to small airport (grand case) if you are traveling to other islands... more

Everything you dream a hotel to be! Clean, friendly & helpful staff, accommodating and above all just drop dead gorgeous! No detail is left out.

You can walk to some of the best restaurants on the island, some amazing beaches, bars, markets, shops.... everything is within reach.... more
