We stayed at the hotel for 6 nights from Dec. 13-19 in a deluxe studio. We loved the room - it had a wonderful, cozy feel with a really nice modern kitchen and bathroom. The patio had two lounge chairs and a table with two more chairs. The room was a great size - not too small - and the... More

The hotel was nice, setting is beautiful but in our opinion not nearly as "special" as we were anticipating, especially based on the other reviews. I would have thought that the staff, (especially New Years morning) would have made an effort to move about quietly and not wake the guests, we certainly were aware of everyone's arrival to work every...

Wow~ What a wonderful vacation we had at this beautiful hotel on the hill (with its amazing views.) The place was immaculate, friendly and perfectly located on the quiet side of St. Marten. It was a short (but charming) walk to town where we found some of the best restaurants on the island. Loved the pool and the gorgeous well... More

Once again, Kristin and Marc did not disappoint! Friendly and intimate all the way! If you want the 'Big Resort/All Inclusive' experience, this is not the place. The perfect boutique experience. The staff was awesome! Alain, Rosette, Kristin, Marc and everyone else!!! Coming to St. Martin for 30 years, L'Esplanade has been 'our home' for the past three years. I've... More

My husband and I have been staying at this hotel for the past 4 years. This is the best hotel on the island. Everyone is so nice and accomodating, the rooms are clean and big enough for 2 people. It's also a great convenience to walk down the hill to a large selection of restaurants. Looking forward to go back... More

I searched the internet for months looking for an island and hotel for our Honeymoon. After choosing St. Martin and spending over a week touring around the small island- I was happy with our destination and even happier with the hotel. These rooms are much more like villas. They are big, private and a short walk away from bakeries, restaurants... More

I love this place. The accomodations are great and the people who work here rock. Set on a hill overlooking the harbor, L'Esplanade has beautiful views. The rooms are clean, nicely furnished and our deluxe loft was quite spacious for me and my teenage son. The best part was that we each got our own floor. That meant he could... More

The problem is, the hotel is marketing itself as a luxurious resort which sadly, it is not. The rooms are perfectly good and some of the larger rooms are actually quite spacious, with new kitchenettes and pebble floor showers (although the smaller rooms lack some of those nice touches.) There is wifi in some of the rooms, and cable available... More

Great location, fabulous apartments, perfect for an extended stay alone or with family. Also location on the hill offers spectacular views of the Bay. Only drawback is that one needs to go down from the hill to get to the beach. More
