What a beautiful location with views of the harbor. So glad we picked this hotel and it’s location above the town. It was very quiet and a 5 -10 minute walk into town. The staff here is very friendly and helpful.

La Samanna, A Belmond Hotel, St Martin

Perched beside one of the most spectacular private beaches in the French West Indies, La Samanna is as dazzling as the crystal clear waters that lap the sand. Sink into a chic suite, designed to reflect the hypnotic shapes and colours of sea life. Then dress to impress and sample the world-class restaurants, before diving into the island's vibrant social scene.

Had a great stay at La Playa. Orient Bay is laid back with easy access to the rest of the island. Gran Case is just 10 minutes away!! Staff was very friendly and the resort is very clean. The beach was great. They are quite a few restaurants nearby within walking distance.

Grand Case Beach Club

Intimate, relaxing and serene, totally renovated and rebuilt, on two beautiful Caribbean beaches. Private, but accessible to the gastronomic village of Grand Case. Warm, friendly service will have you coming back time after time! All accommodations with full kitchens, WiFi and TV.

Quiet but beautiful resort on the French side

Reviewed By Jerry S

This resort is located at the end of the town of Grand Case which is a bit further from the airport than Marigot. The scenery from the rooms and hotel is just amazing with turquoise colors in the water everywhere you look. The office staff was very friendly and helpful. Maid and other staff very polite. We loved the restaurant on site with its amazing location right over the water and fantastic views of the sunsets. The meals at the restaurant were excellent with different specials every night. Go for the Moule fest - mussels on Thursday which were just super. Many of the staff speak French which my wife loved as she got to practice speaking but everyone speaks English so no worries if you don't. Rooms are nice and have been recently renovated. All the standard rooms are on the first floor so go for a one bedroom as will be on the 2nd level with better views. Lofts are on the 3rd level. We would definitely go back to this resort. There are also several good restaurants within a 10 minute walk in the town of Grand Case. Given there are kitchens you can buy food at a store and do your own thing as well. We will note that the town is a bit run down and still not rebuilt from the 2017 hurricane and you will see that over much of the island.

The people who work there make this resort a wonderful experience and the beach is beautiful. We are familiar with the Secrets brand & this location falls very short even if I tried to overlook some of the reviews. After 2 years of not being able to travel of course we appreciated our experiences but it's not Secrets standard. The AMAZING charming Charmen (need to bring her at the front of the house!), Antoinette (different flowers in her hair every day - she's a ray of sunshine) & Ivan (just a class act) at breakfast and lunch just made my day! Elisha at the evening bar - hard worker and just full service dealing with all the characters at the bar! It's quiet, calm, not a party place - which was fine! Get out of the resort and do things: Jo's Charter at the marina or take a drive and visit the island. Security could be better too, ppl paid for Preferred Club & just about everyone used the place - not worth the expense. Also, on the beach several ppl from other resorts occupied beach chairs that weren't guests of the resort. We walked to the front entrance one evening & no security was spotted.

The staff was welcoming. Wonderful pool and very private. Great balcony off our room. Wonderful breakfast made by the staff. Food was made to order and out of this world. The room was very clean with lots of space. The hotel is a very short drive to the beach, places to shop and places to go out to dinner. Paradise! Hope to go back this year.

Reviewed By Michael W

My wife and I spent 4 nights here in January 2022 and we can't say enough wonderful things about this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and private. Check-in was a breeze, and the entire staff are very friendly. Although we did not eat at the restaurant, we got drinks at the bar almost every night. The bartender was warm and friendly, and most of all, made excellent drinks. The beach (and restaurants) are just a short 5 mins walk, though our room was located on a hill, so keep that in mind if you plan on walking. We'll definitely be back next time we're in St. Martin!

Super nice accommodation & location. not convenient breakfast and beach.

Reviewed By JLevinson

The location is in a nice gated area. The property has lots of space and green areas and the rooms are nicely distributed across the property in -what I saw- villas of 3-4 guest rooms. Every villa has a small pool, however the pool is not so convenient, as it has no umbrellas and the pool area is not so welcoming to stay and relax. The room (ours was a deluxe room), is super clean and had all amenities and electro domestics needed: iron, microwave, coffee machine, fridge.. etc. Really, the room is GREAT! The breakfast mmh.. is not nice. Accommodation includes continental breakfast, that we knew, however they serve a couple of slides of fruits and croissants and they remark every day that if you need something extra you need to pay for it. For the price of the accommodation, they should include some more breakfast, or better, no breakfast at all, as it is annoying to see such as small breakfast served and the willingness to sell something in addition. We saw the same discomfort from other guests. The resort has no beach. It has agreements with the some beach bars to give sunbeds for free, however the nicest that is right next to the hotel, you need to pay 15eur per person per day to get a sunbed. Esmeralda should include this in the price per night and offer it to the guests. Otherwise you need to walk and find other beach clubs where they will offer you a "second line" sunbed for free. The Orient Beach is SUPER windy, it is wide and large and beautiful, however is soo windy that sometimes is not easy to stay for long at the beach. Summary: Super nice accommodation, not convenient breakfast and beach.

I highly recommend Villa Jwi Lavi for a quiet, romantic getaway to St. Martin. The owners (a couple with two young kids) are extremely friendly and helpful and were extremely communicative before and during my stay via WhatsApp. Continental breakfast (including delicious homemade croissants) is included, and the rooms are beautiful and have plenty of space. This was a perfect home base for a stay on my favorite island!
