Hotels near Grand-Case L'Espérance airport

Pros: Liked the location. It was the third visit to St. Martin. Recommended the hotel to clients after the second visit. Overall, staff members were customer oriented. The beachfront location is what brought us back.

Cons: No hot water!!! Had hot water 2 days out of an 8 day stay. Had to argue over the accommodations requested because of the hot water issue. On the morning of our last day, water was completely turned off. Bringing it to management attention was fruitless.

Pros: The staff was so friendly. Carole was extremly helpful. Everthing is super clean. The view when you wake up cant be beat. Best hotel on the beach strip.

Cons: I liked everything about this hotel.

Pros: Amazing views, beautiful room and very friendly staff!

Pros: Everything about this hotel was wonderful! The location right on the beach in the center of an area of beach bars and restaurants was perfect. The room was bright and airy and comfortable...the beach area was great with fabulous service. But most importantly, the people were amazing. A special mention to Chloe in the restaurant and Derek and Tom on the beach who took care of us so well! Did not want to leave!

Cons: There was nothing not to like about LTC!

Pros: The best place to stay in St. Martin! The hotel is very nice and clean, designed in the Caribbean style just in front of beautiful beach. The stuff is amazing, incredibly friendly and professional. Caro - the owners, is always around to make sure you having the best time. The big plus is the restaurant so you can enjoy delicious food without leaving the hotel.

Pros: An absolute stunning hotel with the most beautifully kind staff. After a little mix up with our booking we were so grateful for the kindess Rafaella and the manager gave us to make sure we had the best stay. Thank you !

Pros: Location was fantastic. Beautiful beach, gorgeous facilities.

Pros: I am so happy I chose Blue Emeraude and would return in a heartbeat! Location right on the beach with chairs and umbrellas is walking distance to best restaurants and fun bars in SXM, but just far away and private enough to relax. Views lovely. Staff is excellent-Helpful, friendly, professional. Kelly is wonderful and Frederick was very kind. Modern facilities are kept spotless by daily cleaning staff. We stayed in the top floor 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment for 10 glorious days. Great spot! Comfy beds, plenty of storage, spacious LR/kitchen area, big bathrooms, long outdoor private deck with dining table and lounge chairs. Croissants and coffee each morning -delicious! Kitchen Washing machine and deck drying rack very handy. Wine cooler has nice selection. Hair dryer and flat iron nice touch. Best restaurants in SXM easy walking distance! Small convenience store as well. French side is our favorite and Grand Case is the best as Everything you need is right there. But adventuring to the Dutch side is easy. Drove to many beautiful beaches on the island but was always happy to return to the Bleu Emeraude on Grand Case!

Cons: We loved so much about Bleu Emeraude but if I had to pick something I’d say we loved our top floor deck but there is no shade on the top floor (other floors have shsre), so the addition of a retractable awning would be luxurious perfection. St Martin is doing very well but there are many nearby homes in disrepair—this isn’t troubling, just something to note.

Pros: First of all, Kelly and Frederic are amazing people. You would feel well taken care of. And then place is exceptional. Clean, comfortable, and the location for us was the best on whole SXM from what we saw (and we saw quite a lot of the island). Grand Case is the best location and best beach to stay on. Super relaxed, walking distance to all restaurants and shops (not that crazy busy ones). Small boutique hotels. No high/huge buildings luckily. And beach is at your doors step at Bleu Emeraude. It was super hard to leave this place.

Pros: The place is absolutely beautiful steps from turquoise ocean waters, the staff (Kelly) is amazing with great recommendations for restaurants and places to visit. She always has a smile on her face and is super helpful. We spent a lot of the day swimming in the ocean, going on hikes, and dining at fine restaurants. That worked for us. Breakfast included espresso coffee, fresh pastries, and fruits. We could walk to Captain Frenchy's Restaurant bar for live Reggae music and delicious drinks.

Cons: The water was turned off in the whole island intermittently, electricity was off at times too. The staff was well prepared for that with endless supplies of bottled water.

Pros: Great location run by wonderful people - Kelli and Frederic were awesome! The fresh morning pastries were to die for.

Cons: Nothing that I can think of

Pros: Very clean and comfortable hotel! With a good equipped beach. 2 meters from the sea!!!! Reception staff was very friendly and helped us a lot!

Pros: Everything at this location couldn't be better nice experience

Cons: I really want to thank the staff mainly the young lady in the lobby she made my encounter very comfortable and gave a lot of information on Island sites. The young man that I met also provided the same level of professionalism thank you for a great time

Pros: The location is a few minutes walking to all of the restaurants and shops, yet quiet enough that we have the beach to ourselves most of the time. Kayak, Snorkeling equipment and many other water toys are provided. We had the convenience of a kitchen and a sofa bed for our son. The most incredible view from our balcony, and the ocean in front is like a calm bath. We couldn't be happier.

Cons: The staff is only there during limited hours, so when we arrived half an hour early, there was no one to let us in.

Pros: We moved our stay. Frederick and Kelly were exceptional. Beautiful hotel and perfect beach. I would very highly recommend. We will be back!!

Pros: Amazing staff, beautiful property, walking distance to great restaurants, right on a beautiful beach. Free Kayak & Stand Up paddle-boards.

Cons: Loud traffic, motorcycles and trucks make a lot of noise so difficult to sleep in after 6 am.

Pros: The hotel is beautifully placed on the beach, with its own beach bar and beach personnel. It has been renovated after Irma and we found the room design to be super nice. There is free, private parking on premise. Spacious, big double bed, big bathroom with high pressure on the shower (no bath tube unfortunately). We had a kitchenette in the room that is well supplied for fast, non complicated meals preparation. The fridge has a small freezer as well. There is no dishwasher. Daily room cleaning. Beach towels are available and at your discretion from the reception. Maybe what we liked the most is the staff. They are super friendly, speaking very good English and very helpful in general. Lunch menu at the beach bar is super nice. We advise to ask for the specials (the fish curry was to die for). The cocktails are infused with alcohol and the French baguette in the morning is heavenly (together with the croissant and pan au chocolat). There are 5-6 restaurants 3 min distance from the hotel with French, Japanese and Italian cuisines.

Cons: The hotel serves an American-French breakfast that does not include any vegetable. I bought my vegetables at the supermarket 3 min away from the property. Not sure if it was the fact that we visited in June or is a more permanent situation, but there was a lot of seaweed on the beach that was cleaned every day by the personnel. However, there was still a lot of seaweed by 9am when most people were starting their beach day (because it was too much work for a single person in charge with removing it)

Pros: The staff was very kind and professional. The hotel was beautifully renovated with nice rooms and grounds. The food was great.

Cons: I did not like that I couldn't take my food and drinks to the beach.

Pros: Everything is good

Cons: Nothing wrong with the property, just the week we were there, the wind are too strong, so don’t get to enjoy the beach at all

Pros: Breakfast great Beach , rooms, pop all vey accommodating and very friendly!

Cons: All good no complaint at all

Pros: Location, liked the ocean view from the balcony

Cons: Still renovations in the building. Lot of seeweed in the beach in front.

Pros: We had amazing view from our balcony)

Pros: Beach gave an amazing view. Very romantic chance to watch the sunrise over the ocean.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location right next to the beach, newly renovated studio, very comfortable. Place is quiet and the restaurants are in walking distance along the beach. Host is super attentive and helpful. Overall great stay!

Cons: The island still is not fully renovated after Irma hurricane some time ago, including this property. They are working on it so don't be surprised.

Pros: Despite the ongoing reconstruction in the area, the apartment is very comfortable with amazing views 😃 Many thanks to the owners for a really exceptional approach 🤩If we have a trip to Sint Maarten ... our choice is clear 😃😘👋

Pros: View from the balcony! It is very quiet. The appartment is well equipped. Everything you need is there. Also slippers were provided. Bed is really comfortable. Watching the kite surfers in the bay.

Cons: Grocery Store in the Residence is still closed, but we walked to the gas station, it is not too far away. It is a bit remote if you do not have a car, but Amaury offered to fetch us.

Pros: Studio Orient Bay was amazing! The condo had a chic modern design, lots of room and an excellent view of the beach. The balcony was perfect for meals, with a view extending the length of Orient Bay. We could not have picked a better place to stay. I would high recommend this place to anyone and if we ever come back to St. Maarten, we will definitely be staying here again. This place was perfect!

Pros: The resort is a bit of a unique layout. There are several buildings, each with about four units per building, and each building has its own pool. Our room was very spacious with a large deck overlooking the pool. The beach is a couple minute walk down a path the ends at Coco Beach restaurant, bar and beach chairs. Coco Beach is a separate entity, but works in cooperation with the hotel so it seems as if it is part of the Esmerelda. The Esmerelda also had the wonderful Astrolabe restaurant centrally located among the buildings. The staff and service at Esmerelda, Astrolabe, and Coco Beach were all wonderful and very accommodating. The food, drinks and wine selection were also wonderful at both restaurants. There are also many other dining choices a short walk down the beach in Orient Bay.

Cons: Our room was a large unit with huge living room, bedroom, kitchen and bath areas. Oddly, the kitchen and bath are not air conditioned, while the majority of the unit was (leaving the doors from living room to kitchen and bath pretty well addressed this, but still, a bit out of date).

Pros: Our room was large and had a great view of Orient Bay it is a quick drive to any of the beach cloth or not. Lots more restaurant ....The Pizza at Rancho Del Sol is great, just outside the gate of the Esmeralda.. In the 30 years or so we have been coming to the inland this was the first time we ate there again the Pizza were great and the staff is great. A big shock was when one of the staff recognized use from another restaurant we us to eat at before the hurricane. That was 5 or 6 years ago. She even named the restaurant and the year

Cons: Astrolabe ,,Bread fast was different then our last stay I am sure there is a different chef in the kitchen. the assortment of baguette and croissant was prefect and the fruit arrangement were delicious and sweet. I usual order extra type of egg and they never tasted right, always over cooked, pancakes to thick. Tried the crepes at the end, tasted more like the pancakes I'm use to. I always like my egg over easy the trip before they were so light and fluffy I had to ask the chef he did then, and I started to cook my own eggs at home that way. This trip the white were brown and hard not lite and fluffy. Overall give the restaurant a B+

Pros: The staff was excellent and help make dinner reservations for us around the area.

Pros: The accomodation is absolutely lovely, amazing location, family friendly, the appartments are spacious, clean, proper and cosy. The bed is large and very comfortable, air conditioning works perfect. We were very lucky that during our stay we were the only residents in our villa so we had a private pool. The location of the accomodation is amazing, right next to beautiful orient bay beach and the lovely beach bar Coco beach which offers all the comfort you need for your days at the beach. Plenty of resto’s at orient bay are at walking distance. Personel is very kind and helpful, they also helped us organizing our day trips. Breakfast every morning at the l’astrolabe restaurant was treat with fresh fruits and delicious french pastries. We will definitely book the Esmeralda resort again when we go back to Saint Martin!

Pros: This is our third time at Esmeralda. Location is perfect near the beach, the rooms were recently redone after hurricane Irma. Private pool is great. Resort was not full so we had lots of privacy. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating.

Cons: Probably not Esmeralda's fault, but the closest beach/restaurant Coco Beach has started charging 15 euro per chair/umbrella per day. Two minutes down the beach, this is free if you stay at Esmeralda.

Pros: Esmeralda has recovered after the hurricane and is back to normal. The service and facilities are impecable.

Cons: Because of COVID the island is not as full of tourists as before

Pros: The location in orient bay was amazing! Beautiful beaches!!!

Pros: Lovely remodeled rooms with plenty of room and a million dollar view. The location is convenient to the beach and you can walk to many restaurants and a cute supermarket. You can choose getting your beach chairs from 5 different beach bars so we tried several but found Wai Beach to be the best service. We loved our stay at Orient Beach Hotel!

Cons: The hotel restaurant is not currently open for breakfast, but you just go next door to have it there. My only complaint is the maids never left enough towels so we would have to chase towels down daily. But it really was not a big deal.

Pros: Great location right off the water, room to beach in 1 min. Beautiful beach view from our suite. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. Thank you Orient Beach Hotel!

Cons: No negatives.

Pros: Orient beach hotel is the perfect place to stay in Saint Martin! Junior and Florence are so friendly and kind, and are there to help throughout your stay. The rooms are beautiful, comfortable and clean. Located right on the beach, I spent most mornings on the balcony watching the beautiful sunrises. There are a ton of beach bars to choose from with chairs, umbrellas, full service drinks/food/etc right on the beach. Highly, highly, highly recommend if you're looking to go and relax!

Pros: This property had it all! Incredible location right on Orient Beach, gorgeous beach views, brand new upscale interiors, well-stocked kitchenette, excellent service and walking distance to terrific restaurants and beach bars. The staff went above and beyond, cheerfully arranging taxi rides and an on-site Covid test for us (for return to the U.S.) Overall, a fantastic vacation!

Cons: It was a nearly perfect stay, however it was very humid when we visited and we wish the air conditioner in our room worked better. It never quite got cold enough and didn't seem to remove all the humidity from the air. A ceiling fan would have been a nice addition to the room.

Pros: The nicest place to stay in the hole island , everything is thoughtful with a beautiful layout. The people who run it are super friendly and make sure you have a wonderful stay. I would come back in a heartbeat and recommend it to everybody who loves to stay right at picturesque Orient Bay with the beach right infront of your balcony door. Loved it. Thank you Florence and John

Pros: The location was perfect. The room overlooking the beach and water was perfect. Access to free beach chairs and umbrellas at multiple restaurants on the beach.

Cons: The steps made in times of covid were exceptional. Could not find anything wrong with our stay.

Pros: Everything is perfect,nice rooms, nice view, clear and beatiful bathroom.

Cons: The breakfast was simple. Just Toast& croissont.

Pros: It’s not a large property, it’s just the right size. The loft room was truly excellent and had everything we needed. As you explore the paths on the property you find beautiful secluded spots to comfortably relax with a beautiful view to the sound of the water. The Sunset Grill on property is also extremely good and convenient. Make reservations on the weekend. Also, there are a dozen restaurants worth trying for dinner within a few minute walk. What else can I say, my husband and I would surely return.

Cons: I have nothing negative to say.

Cons: Booking.com didn't update my room changes. I was a little disappointed the resort couldn't make the changes. Not the resorts fault.

Pros: It was just alright. The only excellent thing is the beach and the water, this was amazing

Cons: Its kind of dated, it's not really lively and the only restaurant on the premises closes at 3 pm, so for dinner you have to go to the local village

Pros: The location was awesome! The grounds were clean and beautiful and the closeness to the beach was perfect! Both beaches and the pool were lovely.

Cons: There was no breakfast, unless we paid for it at the restaurant. We ate breakfast once at the beach club restaurant and it was not very good. We also tried snacks, lunch and dinner at the restaurant. The snacks were not good at all (fried shrimp was obviously frozen and weirdly slimy inside the breading and calamari was very rubbery and excessively greasy). Lunch was okay and dinner was not very good. We walked into town for each meal after this and found delicious options, although it would have been way more convenient to eat right on the premises. The only things on the menu that were actually good were the creme brulee and the BLT.

Pros: The pool was absolutely beautiful. There were kids running around unattended the first night but the rest of our stay was relaxing.

Cons: The exterior of the property and the surrounding area are a bit unsightly but once we checked in and got into the room it was beautiful.

Pros: The room was spacious and clean. We had a beautiful view of the beach and sunset.

Cons: Toiletries were minimal and no filter for the coffee machine.

Pros: Breakfast was not included.

Pros: Staff are wonderful, views are amazing. I loved having a kitchenette in the room and laundry on site. Loved the pool, the bar, the beach.. Grand Case is a great location if you want a relaxing vacation!

Cons: GCBC is still rebuilding from Hurticane Irma, so there is still work happening on the property. But, the work did not detract from our stay. I will stay again in a heartbeat.

Pros: The rooms were big with high ceilings and plenty of natural light from balcony doors and windows. The bed was very comfortable. The balcony was so large that you could have a party there. The view was great. You could tell that the owners put a lot of effort and thought into this place. Small details like heavy doors and expensive door handles, nicely designed kitchen cabinets, even garbage can under the sink that would automatically open and close as the cabinet door opened and closed made this place feel like you're in a first class hotel. And most importantly, the staff was so friendly and accommodating, which made our stay absolutely fantastic.

Cons: A couple of things that I thought could have been checked to make sure they were in working order. Coffee maker was broken, when we checked in, but was quickly replaced. USB ports were not working. The outlets were European style and staff offered outlet converter instead. All in all, just few minor issues which in a big scheme of things, especially, given how friendly and accommodating the staff was, didn't really make a difference.

Pros: Renovated room with great standards of comfort. Quiet. Excellent bedding. Ocean view.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: This place calls itself a hotel but is more like a mini resort. They have duplexes and triplexes that feel like private bungalows. This was just the vacation we needed. The properties are private and quiet but are a very short walk to town. The pool is amazing and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They were able to book our exit COVID test right in our room which was very convenient for us. The beaches are lovely and this neighborhood is very clean. Perfect for walking in the evening/morning. Very little traffic in this area of the island but still has cute shops and a few cafes. Breakfast was delicious and the morning staff was very helpful. Don’t forget to visit Gran Cass when you are here. It is very different than Orient Bay but very authentic. It’s a great spot for a fun dinner if you want something more laid back. Only a 5 minute drive down the road.

Cons: Nothing. Everything was lovely.

Pros: Perfect location within walking distance from Orient Bay. Nice and spacious rooms. The pool very clean and staff at reception very helpful and friendly.

Cons: Just the breakfast a bit weak.

Pros: The huge pool. The room. The nice touch with flowers in the room and the bathroom. The welcoming staff, the nice breakfast, the weather.

Cons: Nothing, really. It was perfect.

Cons: Very basic breakfast.... watered down juices, bad coffee, burnt pastries, apple and orange wedges (skin on) as fruit salad, no non dairy milk, no herbal teas, reheated scrambled eggs. When i mentioned this to management upon checkout(she asked) she played dumb and implied i should have told waitress...... but i'm on holiday why would i bother..... not my job or want to make staff feel bad or get angry.

Pros: The villa / room was nice & clean and very spacious. Private patio with a sea view in a quiet area. Friendly & attentive staff :)

Cons: It was quite a far walk up a hill to and from the reception / restaurant. It was quiet, but felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. The tv was small with 15 channels - all were French apart from a sports channel and bbc news channel. We found that the photos on booking.com are very misleading. The restaurants and beach are not a part of the hotel at all. You have a 5-10 minute walk, across a busy road until you reach the beach or restaurants and they are completely separate from the hotel. If you are looking for a remote & private room / villa away from it all with no tv etc then this is for you. It just wasn’t the right fit for us unfortunately!

Pros: The size of the room. Very spacious.

Cons: It’s overpriced. The breakfast is almost nonexistent, and slow. They told us we could access towels and chairs on the beach establishments in Orient Bay and they ended up charging them extra. The facilities are old.

Pros: great location, nice open rooms

Cons: no additional blankets in room

Pros: Breakfast was mediocre to ordinary Rooms and location are good

Cons: Plantation could stand a little updating and a coat of paint.

Pros: Location was perfect and the experience as a whole blew us out of the water! They went above and beyond for us while we were there celebrating our honeymoon. The complimentary breakfast was to die for as well.

Cons: Nothing! Everything was perfect!

Pros: I highly recommend stay at Karibuni. The space, design, staff, view, daily activities - everything was exceptional !

Pros: The hotel is located hillside with a gorgeous view. We enjoyed walking down to the waterfront and kayaking daily around the bay. Breakfast was delicious, very fresh. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us, since we were diving daily and didn't return until noon each day, we asked if they could place breakfast inside and they were happy to oblige. Karl was especially kind and helpful, making sure we had the keys for the kayaks etc. The hotel even arranged to have a nurse come and administer the covid tests we needed in order to return to the US. The decor was lovely. A very relaxing, enjoyable boutique hotel. Exactly what we were looking for.

Cons: Initially thought the property was beachfront (I misunderstood thinking the photos of the beach on the website of the restaurant was the hotel). Ultimately, we enjoyed it more than if it were beachfront because we took the kayaks out onto the sandbar and the small beaches of the nearby islands.

Pros: Across the street from a great beach and restaurant

Pros: A very friendly and cosy place to stay in the heart of Grand Case... And a large choice of bars and restaurants around.

Cons: Great location with horrible host and service! If you arrive between 12 and 4 pm get ready to find an hotel closed. Poor internet. Déficient aircon.

Pros: Very nice quiet place in the middle of Grand Case, close to all the fantastic restaurants and to the beach. Friendly and helpful staff, nice breakfast.

Pros: Pretty much everything. Very hospitable owners, the turtles that live on site and who happily ate all the lettuce I gave them, great breakfast, friendly neighbors, beautiful view of the mountains, beach just across the street... On and on. You get the idea.

Cons: Not sure there was anything I disliked. Wifi was spotty, but I could switch to 4g if I ever needed, room didn't have a table or a desk but there were a few tables outside in front of my room, so no real problem. Mosquitos are everywhere in St Martin, but the bed has a net.

Pros: We were in two different rooms and they both have a really lovely interior with comfortable beds. The whole location including the terrace and the garden is beautiful. The beach is just across the street. The supermarket and bus stop is just around the corner. The owners and staff are really friendly people who take care. It is really nice to sit on the veranda and have breakfast and watch the people and cars go by.

Cons: Nothing
