My wife and I loved this place. It was smaller and quieter than your typical hotel or resort. The hosts provide a nice little breakfast each morning (croissants and baguettes with local jams, plus fresh fruit and juice). The pool is nice, as are the views. The property is a good location on the island, in my opinion. Easy drive to Anse Marcel on the northern tip (phenomenal beach up there). Also easy drive to Grand Case (best food ever) and Orient Beach (great scene in general). The hosts were...

We stayed for 5 nights and loved the hotel but what made the stay so special was the quality of the service from Marion Idalia and the entire staff They were amazing so helpful and knowledgeable about the island. We felt as if we were staying with family. The hotel is charming as well with large rooms that include a large outdoor patio

Pauline & Jeremy!!! Fantastic warm welcome! You can tell that these owners absolutely love their guests. Too many details to mention from the private jacuzzi to concierge services provided by Pauline. Beautiful interiors, comfortable beds. Gated neighborhood 5 minutes on foot to Orient Bay beaches and restaurants. Good old fashioned bed and breakfast atmosphere. Oh!! The amazing, not-to-miss breakfast! Highly recommended.

We spent 4 nights at La Hibiscus. Really enjoyed everything about it. Florian gave us a free upgrade to the Jasmine suite. Large, comfortable bed, great shower and bathroom. Great terrace for sunning and looking at the mountains. We had the pool to ourselves which we loved. Very hands off approach by management which meant great privacy which we like. Only 5 minutes to Orient Beach….great choice of restaurants including a couple of breakfast places. Will definitely come back. FYI….renting a car...

This is the perfect place to have an ocean view room that is beautifully done. The hotel doesn’t offer a ton of amenities, but it’s in a great location on a beautiful beach. Come here to enjoy time with a partner, have access to beach restaurants and activities and rent a car to explore the island. Our concierge, Junior, was amazing and saved us by getting our passports to us after we had already arrived to the airport!

Beautiful area! Would definitely stay here again.

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel L'Esplanade for a week! And it was out first time here on the French side and we enjoyed it a lot. Very comfortable and spacious accommodations with large bedroom, bathroom and Living/dining room with the full kitchen if you decide to ignore all of the restaurants nearby and decide to make a meal yourself. Big, beautiful terrace to enjoy breakfast or sip wine while watching the sunset. The pool is peaceful, and the food is freshly grilled right before you, while...

Great staff! Had trouble with our rental car company and staff arranged to have different company drop car at hotel for us, such a breeze! Awesome morning breakfast, chocolate croissants were very tasty! Great proximity to the beach and a variety of restaurants in Orient Village. You MUST dine at La Table d'Antoine; best onion soup and duck breast w/5 vinegars, to die for!! Hotel has arrangement with Kakoa Beach Bar, so it as easy to get lounge chairs and umbrella each morning. If you're...

First time to the island. This resort was absolutely beautiful. Two areas for sun and beach. Beach chairs and umbrellas, water sports… we never had to wake up super early to get a chair which was awesome! We snorkeled around the resort, saw lots of fish, star fish, and found about 10 whole sand dollars! Food was very reasonably priced and delicious. Drinks were good - not watered down. Staff was very helpful and kind, check in was easy and our room was ready when we arrived. Rooms had all the...

We took a trip as a family to celebrate three college graduations and an engagement. Due to the dates we could each go, we ended up needing to book it as three separate studios all on the lower level. After booking it as separate vacations on Expedia, I wrote to the hotel to see if they could make the rooms near each other. Within an hour we received a reply from Julie congratulating us on the engagement and graduations and saying that she would do her best to make sure we were near each...

My wife and I have been vacationing on St. Maarten for 15 years, and this was our first time at this resort. The staff are very nice and helpful. They have two great restaurants, one on the beach and one fine dining on the resort. We stayed for seven days which was perfect. During most days we were on the beach which was a three minute walk from our cottage. The CoCo restaurant has great food, friendly staff and the chairs and umbrellas are free to guests of the hotel. In the evening we ate a...

My husband and I have used about 20 hotels over the last 3 months, and this one was our best experience. The room isn't particularly special (although the jacuzzi bath was quite nice), but the gorgeous beach, Cyril who prepares your loungers and brings your beers in an ice bucket packed to the brim with ice, and the incredibly stylish restaurant (sadly only open for breakfast and lunch) which produces magnificent food are an unbeatable combination.

The hotel, which is only a few weeks old, and which is owned by the same people who own Sol E Luna nearby, is a classy, first rate property, right on the beach in Grand Case, with a staff that couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. All nine rooms have balconies with full ocean views. The design and styling are very contemporary and absolutely perfect. And, oh, the dining scene in Grand Case can't be beat!

My only issue was with the parking. There is only room for 3 small cars to park. Once we were unable to leave the premises because non-guests were parked in front of our car with no way to contact them.

Horrible parking

We rented a two bedroom unit (really two one bedroom units connected by a short hallway) with our 21 year-old triplets. It was a perfect setup for us. My wife and I took one unit, and our kids took the other. The resort is in a very convenient location- also very well-maintained. There are a number of restaurants and bars within walking distance, which our kids really liked because they could go out without waiting for us to drive them somewhere. There is a small grocery store about 100...

Everything about this Inn was excellent! The owners greet you with a smile. My stay started with happy hour in the veranda overlooking the pool. During my three night stay, happy hour was the place to connect, meet the other guests staying at this unique B&B, and make new friends. The breakfasts were simple, but filling with lots of choices for varied tastes, including delicious island marmalades. In fact, I went to the supermarket to bring home the guava one — so delicious. This is a place...

Third stay in St Maarten/Martin since 1993. By far the nicest hotel of my 3 stays. While not directly on a beach, a short drive to Orient, or across the street to Dawn Beach at the Westin. We were on the upper level, building B and had a great view of the ocean across the street. Actually you can drove about anywhere on the island in 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. We stayed the first week of November 2015 and full season had not kicked in. The traffic is slow and you have to be...

The property suit my needs. Everyone there were pretty nice. Yosef was very professional, very help and knowledgeable with a very nice attitude. I will definitely come back because of the reasonable pricing and the convenience to Philipsburg. Thanks Yosef for a job well done.
