While the location is great in Grand Case the Atlantide leaves a lot to be desired. My husband and I traveled with my sister and her husband for three nights. The room with the King bed was the room from hades. My sister couldn't get the water in the tub/shower to turn off. My husband finally broke something to stop the flow into the apartment. The manager is only there in the morning. The king bed was like sleeping on a platform of bricks...seriously uncomfortable and my brother in law is still in pain. We asked for another bed but were told there weren't any. The beach is okay if the swells aren't out of the north, if they are you will have choppy seas and lots of seaweed. I wouldn't stay there if it was a gift.Don't book through the Hotel Group...they over charge you at the end and don't return phone calls.

If you want a resort vacation with all the amenities, look elsewhere. If you want an authentic, relaxing, no frills experience, try the Atlantide.
It's like living in an apartment in a little French fishing village! If this appeals to you, try this place. No lobby, no check in, no stress. If you have any problems, the hotel manager is on site for a few hours each morning. Otherwise, you're on your own, which is exactly what we loved. The beach view from our balcony was perfect: we could see Anguilla in the distance. In the morning, we'd sip our coffee on the terrace and watch the local fisherman check his traps from the night before and take the fresh catch to the lolos, where we might eat it later.
The room was comfy and spacious. We could walk to dinner every night and not worry about driving after sloshing down a bottle of win. And the food is fabulous, from the lolos to the 5-star restaurants. There's even a great place for breakfast, right on the water, the Marlin.
Would definately stay here again.

I don't understand the review of 7-25-05 that I just read. My wife and I stayed there 2 years ago and found it delightful. Our room was very nice, the beach is just out the back door and you are in walking distance of many great restaurants.

I know I'm writing this review a year after the fact, but the fact is that we still talk about our experience at the Atlantide, until this day whenever anyone ask us about our experience in St. Martin.

My girlfriend and I arrived at Grand Case expecting to find the hotel we saw in the pictures on the SXM website. Instead what we found was a hotel in a somewhat shady neighborhood that was closed. That would have been fine except for the fact that we had reservations! And they took a deposit!

We probably would not have stayed anyway as I rang the bell hoping for someone to answer, I saw that there was garbage around the side of the hotel leading to the beach, and a cast of unsavory characters staring at us.

I called the hotel number only to find out what I already assumed that the hotel was closed and would not reopen for a few days.

Why didn't anyone tell us this? We had to scramble to find accommodations for the evening. I'm actually kind of glad that they weren't open since we figured we didn't really want to stay there anyway.

I can't believe people gave this place a good review, we aren't even that picky were we stay just that the place look like a rip for the money they were asking. It's not even a hotel really it's like apartments, I don't know why they call this a hotel?????

And by the way the hotel never responded when I asked for a refund of the deposit, we had to go through the credit card to get it back.

Stay elsewhere on the Island definitely not here.

I wish i took real pictures to post here, you would question this place as well.
