"10/10 experience at Le Martin Hotel. From the hospitality, to the beautiful decor, to the daily breakfast, to the pool oasis - everything was perfect. Marion and her staff go above and beyond to make your stay just perfect. It was peaceful, quiet and the perfect place to relax and recharge. Only note is that it was a bit difficult to find as maps and waze direct you to the wrong spot. I loved the proximity to Pinel Island as well as both Grand Case and Orient Bay beaches"

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).

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!

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.

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.
