French West Indies Holiday Rentals

"Good resort in excellent location near all the restaurants, shops, bars etc. in Grand Case. Restaurant is expensive (think $15 for half a plastic cup of wine) and this pushes guests to buy their own food drinks outside the resort. Beach is a bit narrow on both the Grand Case and Petite Plage sides and when the wind picks up the Petite Plage side gets very crowded with guests trying to stay out of the wind gusts. Beautiful Moonrise bar / restaurant with amazing views, which could be used for more guest activities. Service is French and a bit hard to get used to, but there are some exceptions like Lucas in the Sunrise Cafe / Petite Plage - he has excellent attitude, quick with a joke and quick with service."

"The kitchen offers a stove and pots and pans, but no cooking oil or ingredients."

"Emplacement éloigné de la ville. Autoroute tout près ce qui est bruyant, manque de place ombragé sur le toit près du spa, le wifi ne fonctionnait pas... Problème de techniciens qui ne s'est pas réglé. Chambre propre avec climatiseur bruyant mais personnel sympathique. "

"This was our first time staying on the French side, at Esmeralda. Overall, it is a decent resort; it consists of small villages, each containing four guest rooms. The rooms themselves are spacious and clean, and every village shares a swimming pool among its four units. The resort grounds feature a French restaurant serving very delicious food. Another nice perk is that the resort has its own private beach area, for which you can make reservations. There is a designated parking spot right next to your village, which is very convenient. Now, for the things we didn't like: First, beach towels are issued only at the reception desk, which is located quite far from the beach itself; if you need to exchange a towel, you have to walk all the way back to reception. Second, regarding the "included breakfast": in reality, it does not correspond to a "continental breakfast" as we understand it in the American sense. The breakfast offering consists of coffee, a small croissant, and jam, along with one type of cereal and a yogurt-like product that tastes more like sour cream. There is no cream cheese, no eggs—nothing of the sort; you have to pay extra for all of those items. We have stayed on the Dutch side many times, and the included continental breakfast there was a completely different experience. Third, beach reservations must be made either at the reception desk or directly at the beach itself. We made our reservation immediately upon arrival"

"Lovely staff. Great location. Fantastic food "

"Very clean in a beautiful decor."

"Didn’t use the spa or car parking, the staff were very helpful for someone who doesn’t speak that much french"

"Very nice property nested in a secluded part of St Martin. Right on the beach with all the amenities for a wonderful stay. The swimming pool is rather small, which didn’t bother us as the beach area is vast. Staff absolutely excellent (from front office staff, to beach staff and waiters), rooms (more like mini apartments) are amazing with all the necessary comforts. If we return to St Martin, it will be back there!"

"Great location and friendly staff! It was our second time there and we loved it!"
