Marigot Hotels

Great location; walking a few blocks to the great restaurants at Marina Royale; a block to the grocery, a few blocks to the market downtown. Very ample breakfast buffet. Not crowded. Plenty of lounge chairs on the beach

Clean, friendly, right on beach

Service was wonderful and friendly, room was beautiful, pools and food great, wireless perfect, onsite car rental at good price Our refrigerator could have been colder

Beautiful outside decor, everyone very friendly, great breakfasts included! Could paddle board and fly board right in front of the resort. Loved all the sailboats in the lagoon. Had a lot more space then lots of others. Loved it all!

On the plus side, the staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was large and clean. It was very quiet where we stayed, yet very easy to access the beach and nearby shops. On the down side, we had a bit of difficulty finding the resort at first, since it was not mentioned on any of the signs until you entered the village to which it belonged. Also wi-fi, while free, did not provide a strong signal unless you were right on top of the main office. We were also able to get a free breakfast every morning, however it only included bread, fruit salad, juice, and coffee. Eggs, cereal, or yogurt were all available at extra cost. And while our room was more than satisfactory (we booked a villa with pool view), I would advise against paying for an ocean view as we couldn't identify any such villa.

This was my second stay at Esmeralda and will continue to return! The deluxe rooms are well worth the small additional fee - close to the beach, etc. Having a small market within walking distance was nice, rum and groceries readily available! L'Astrolabe, the restaurant on the property, was excellent for dinner and reasonable with regard to the euro-dollar exchange rate. The beach is, of course, over the top! Very quiet on one end and busy at the other - something for everyone. Early morning walks on the beach were a perfect start to everyday! From the friendly staff to the villa style accommodations to Orient Beach, this was yet another perfect week in St. Martin!

Great location with a very short walk to the best beach on the Island. We rented a car in advance to be able to freely travel from the French to Dutch side.....roads can be bumpy but navigable. Food quality was excellent and diverse from road side grills to fancy French. Be sure to ask in advance what the dollar to euro rate is and when in doubt use a credit card (you should get a fair exchange).

Captain Oliver's was a fantastic laid back resort. The serenity of the bungalow type rooms was perfect for a long romantic weekend! The charm of the resort and grounds made it a fun and unique place to hide out from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the island. The staff were all very courteous and helpful. The location right on the border of the french and dutch side made it easy and quick to get wherever we wanted on the island. The pool may not be big or exotic or exciting, but it had character with the wall overlooking the bar! It made for some cute pictures for sure. The view from our balcony was incredible and romantic. We didn't eat at the restaurant but hopefully we'll be back and enjoy more time at the resort! If you are looking for simple charm, this is the resort for you!

Captain Oliver's is a laid back sea side resort that is elegant enough without being stuffy. The staff is phenomally friendly. the property is uniquely beautiful in an old fashioned, elegant way. This is a resort where you can spend a week doing nothing or doing everything.

Location I was quotedXXX when I booked the reservation. It actually came thru asXXX euros. I was told the exchange rate wad1-1.3. That comes out tp approximately XXX. However, my credit card came thru atXXX About $65.00 was due to tips

The room was spectacular with a nice balcony to read and have a cocktail on. Only complaint was bed was a little soft, but I don't weigh a lot so not a big deal for me. Staff was super attentive to anything you asked for. Free Wi-fi which worked well for casual use. Breakfasts were very good and hotel is steps to the beach, the Kakao Beach bar, water sports, and a slew of restaurants in the village next door including Thai, French, and Italian cuisine. I did not want a crowded resort so this hideaway on Orient Beach was PERFECT. Arnauld, and Frank at the front desk were top notch. Beach towels every day, I locked my safe and they unlocked in minutes, printed my boarding pass...would not hesitate to go back here for a relaxing laid back stay...heaven.

Wonderful location, friendly helpful staff. Beautiful view. Food was good. Could pay more attention to cleaning details. Continually brought glasses that were not clean. Also the room floor was sandy. Only had 2 bath towels in the room, and they do not provide beach towels.

What can I say? I've lived in Sint-Maarten on the Dutch side some years in the late eighties and early nineties and decided to visit the island, this time on the French side. We arrived in the early evening by car (rental) and must say it was somewhat difficult to find, even for someone who lived there once upon a time. Unfortunately also the checking in went somewhat array because when we arrived at about 19:00, there was no receptionist. After some searching and asking around it seemed that they close the reception at 18:00 and that they left the key in a drawer behind the counter. Once in the room, an hour or so later, we were pleasantly surprised. Spacious and with all the comfort one needs. The Lysol scent described is indeed present at first, but not unbearable. It's no five stars, but better than some pretentious 3-4 stars hotel I've stayed in. It's small and cozy, with restaurants and shopping right around the corner in the Orient Bay Village. The breakfast isn't much more than some croissants, juice, coffee, tea, cereal and bread, but if you can do without eggs and bacon, it's not all that different from your regular American continental breakfast and works just fine to get you started for the rest of the day. If you don't have a car (rental) and/or need to be in the Casino and Discotheque fast life area every day, the whole day, this place isn't for you. It's kind of outside the action area of both the Dutch and French side. If you're looking for a comfortable room, within a nice cozy and peaceful area, with a wonderful beach and pool for swimming and tanning, for not much money, this is the place to be. A car (rental) would be handy if you wish to travel into the town and surrounding area occasionally as well. The staff and service in general were great. If you really need to internet, there's wifi available around the (small) reception area. Worked just fine for me. Conclusion: This place is worth every penny for the price paid, and perhaps some more. ...

I believe I already wrote a summary about this hotel but for some reason can not find this. In short: this hotel is perfect if you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars of night for a decent and comfortable hotel. It's small and cozy and offers everything needed for a comfortable stay for a very reasonable price. Although not easy to find, even if you're familiar with the island, but once found, it's a gem. Although no five stars, the room is spacious with all needed features. A king size bed, a working tv, spacious bathroom (with shower only) and a separate adjacent toilet. There is indeed a lisol scent in the beginning but that's not a deal breaker if you're not too picky. If there's anything I could say as a con it would be that there are no elevators and that the rooms could use some upgrading, but in general the room we had was more than fine. Shopping and dining are right around the corner and the beach is right at the hotel. No WiFi in the rooms but if you really need to be online, there's a cozy small reception area where you can internet. Guess this should also be possible if you have a room right above or close to the reception area. They furthermore have a continental breakfast included, which may not be more than croissants and a sandwich, with juice, coffee and tea, but this will work just fine for most people who don't need french toast or bacon and egg every day. It's a good and decent first meal to get your day started. The service was good and all the staff were friendly and greeted us sincerely. It's kind of far from the action if you're into casino's and the wild disco night life, but if you're looking for some peace and serenity in a beautiful environment and have rental car, this is the best place to be for the money. We had no issues at all with robbery, which I did ones when I stayed in Miami. Just use your common sense and all will be well. Conclusion: This is a perfect spot for the money you'll pay, kind of hard to find at first, but grea...
