“a gem that is off the beaten path.”

The hotel is located on a very private bay in a remote part of St. Martin. The pool is lovely and the beach is pristine. There are no waves and, so, snorkeling or Kayaking is perfect. If you are looking for a quiet, lovely, and natural setting with space to breath, then this is the place for you. The waters are a lovely color. The staff is very friendly.

“An amazing hotel experience”

My friends and I stayed at the Radisson Blu in St. Maarten for 4 nights in February. We chose this resort as we were looking for a beautiful hotel in a quiet location with good reviews on trip advisor. We were not disappointed. The room was nicely sized, clean, and the beds were super comfortable (both were sleep number beds). We made use of the gym and business center with internet – both free and open 24 hours. The hotel has an amazing pool, hot tub, and beach. There are a number of water activities, including kayaks (free) and jet skis (expensive to rent). As the hotel was so beautiful, we didn't feel the need to leave the grounds. Had we chosen to do outside activities, we may have rented a car (there appeared to be a car rental agent at the hotel#. The few taxis that we took #to the airport, etc.), were expensive, but all arrived early and were honest and reliable. As we had special dietary needs, we were given a fridge for our room, which came in handy. As for the crowd at the hotel, it was mostly family oriented and not the party-going type. One thing to know about the hotel is that as it is secluded, there is no ATM or grocery stores walking distance. I think that the nearest ATM is a 5 minute drive. If you are looking for a party, the Dutch side would better suit your needs. However, if you are looking for a beautiful French style hotel in a quiet and beautiful setting with everything you need in one place, I would highly recommend the Radisson Blu.

“MORE THAN WE EXPECTED”

We were pleasantly surprised to find this resort to be one of the most beautiful and enjoyable eperiences in our many trips to the Caribbean. It is located on an inlet with clear waters and a pristine beach surrounded by lush mountains. The flowered grounds are beautifully landscaped. Our suite was unusually clean, modern and well appointed. The staff could not have been more pleasant and helpful. The food was good. It was a great place both for families who want a peaceful exerience and for couples looking for a romantic getaway.

“Cleanest room in all of our caribbean vacations”

The property was a little difficult to get to but once there the facility was wonderful in all aspects.The room was awesome,the bed was one of the most comfortable that we have slept in, and the amenities such as the pool and the beach were especially nice. We would go back to this particular hotel if we visit St Martin again

“Quiet and restful location”

Stayed at the Radisson for 3 nights with a group of girlfriends. The staff was friendly, rooms were decent, food was good and the pool was warm. The sandy beach was soft and the ocean water was warmer than the pool. The hotel is a little isolated from the hot spots on the island, but that suited us perfectly. A perfect spot for a re-charge and re-connect. We had rented a car and bombed around the island for a bit. Views were spectacular and the roads were in pretty decent shape. The road into the Radisson is not for the faint of heart....

“An Oasis of beauty”

The Radisson Blu was a real "find" on the island. Affordable luxury. The place is elegant and exudes all the qualities that you look for in a tropical island vacation. It has a spacious swimming pool tucked right up to the equally beautiful and well maintained beach. Both are staffed by attentive and friendly employees who will bring you drinks, re-position your umbrella or recommend local eateries. The price included an expansive, buffet breakfast and as many beach towels as you want. You will need a car to venture out, however. In addition to a very nice, on property restaurant, there are only two other eating establishments within walking distance. With a car, the restaurants of Grand Case are an easy drive. The lobby area of the hotel has an outdoor seating area that is a divine place to relax and read or enjoy appropriately mellow, live music in the evenings. Free WiFi, too, in both the lobby and the pool area for those who can't quite get away from it all. All in all, just a wonderful place to pamper yourself for an island retreat.

“Beautiful resort on one of the prettiest beaches!”

The Radisson St. Martin is located in Anse Marcel and has one of the prettiest beaches on St. Martin. Although it is probably the farthest hotel from the airport, it is located deep in the "quiet side" of the island - the French side. This was our first trip to St. Martin, so my wife and I spent some time exploring several other beaches from SXM airport around the western and northern sections of the island. There is a lot of variety to choose from, but the beach at Anse Marcel was one of the prettiest and you don't have to rent a lounge chair or umbrella. The included breakfast buffet had enough variety to have something different each day. The restaurants at the hotel and just outside are very good, but for the same price range you can have fabulous gourmet meals in nearby Grand Case (our favorite was Auberge Gourmande).

“Exquisite hotel and in pristine condition”

Off-season is the best time to go to this absolutely amazing, beautiful, pristine hotel in French West Indies/St. Martin. My sisters and I went on a week long holiday to The Radison Hotel in Anse Marcal in early September 2009, and we were absolutely stunned by the warm and welcoming reception we received from the hotel staff. They were courteous, extremely friendly, polite and seemed please that we were there. They upgraded our hotel room upon arrival, and it had a great view of the grounds. They also made great recommendations as to where to eat locally. Although the pool was open for a few days when we first arrived, they closed it due to rennovations, but provided free lunch on the beach for the rest of our time there. They were extremely accommodating. The beach was amazing and free of debris and seaweed. However, a few downsides to the hotel were that the main retaurant for dinner was extremely expensive (for those who had US dollars), and the hotel did not offer breakfast. For that, we would have to go around the grounds to neighbouring restaurants, or around the town. Security to the hotel was very good, and we were impressed with the check-points each time. The road to the hotel was an "adventure" to say the least, but we got used to in driving in our car. Furthermore, the views from the top of the road was spectacular. All in all, we would definitely recommend this peaceful, hidden treasure of a hotel, anytime.

“Beautiful oasis in St. Martin”

Newly renovated hotel and very good service. Breakfast buffet included which the whole family enjoyed. The pool was beautiful and beach was nice, although small. We were there off season, so not too many people around which we liked. The entrance road to the hotel is very steep and curvy, but you get used to it after a few days. The trip from airport to hotel takes about 45 minutes depending on traffic and you go thru some very run down areas, so don't let that scare you. Good to have a car to get out and explore and eat at other locations.

“Extremely impressed!”

This hotel is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach, and especially the tremendous and beautiful pool. The hotel staff is very attentive and wonderful, and can recommend wonderful restaurants in the area. Dinner at the hotel is very good, but expensive. The buffet breakfast could be done better. Overall, the stay at this property was delightful, and we look forward to staying here again.
