We enjoyed our stay so much. The beach that it sits on is the biggest beach on the island, but is not crowded. The sand is silky and direct burn your feet. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are well-appointed, and while the hotel itself does not have a dinner restaurant, there is a village mall across the street that has a half dozen really good restaurants with a variety of cuisines. Many activities like parasailing, jetskis, boogie boards etc., are available just a short walk down the beach. The only complaint we had was that they have a rule about no outside food or drink at the beach chairs - which would be fine, except getting food and drink from the hotel wasn’t the easiest or quickest. Really nice clean hotel, right on the beach, and friendly staff. Couldn’t really ask for more. Highly recommend.

This resort is wonderful, great service, amenities, and area. Beach is wonderful, room spacious. My only small complaint would be the breakfast offering could be a little better and for longer time. Island time when wanting to sleep in it is difficult to prioritize breakfast before 10am when items are being removed by 9:50am already. I would come back though, great time in Saint Martin!

Located by a lovely beach with very attentive staff. Rooms are large and modern. Probably not worth paying for a sea view as the hotel is set back from the beach and low down.

Our Second Time Here
Nice facility, friendly, helpful staff. Great beach location on the laid back French side of the island. Walking distance to great restaurants. GP’s Place is exactly what a beachside bar should be attracting not only hotel guests but regulars. Already booked another week for next winter.
