Awesome French Beach Resort

Best Boutique hotel on Orient Bay. First trip to St. Maarten. Awesome French beach vibe. Steps to local town and restaurants. 3 Miles from Grand Case where they have nice waterfront restaurants.

Everyone was very pleasant, I have not one complaint about this hotel. I will definitely be back soon.
Diana, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We only stayed here for a night because we had an extra day in St. Martin after visiting Anguilla. The staff was excellent, letting us check in early and setting up late check-out without us asking after they asked the time of our flight the following day. It's a great-looking facility with greenery and a good breakfast/bar area next to the beach.
