this hotel was very nice! the room had a great Caribbean feel to it, fully equipped with kitchenette and breakfast is included! (best part, b/c food in st maarten/st martin is very expensive), plus this hotel is close to Orient Beach, which was my favorite of all beaches I visited more

We enjoyed our 1 week stay in late July 2009. We used WIOL.com to book the hotel. They have the cheapest rate we could find. The staff at the Hotel were excellent, and friendly. The room we had was on the 2/nd floor in one of the buildings around the pool. For the money this is a great place. It... more

L'Hoste is located in Orient Beach on the French side of the island. The location is awesome and the staff is friendly. My boyfriend and I booked the Deluxe room on the second floor and closest to the beach. (Although, even if you don't rent in this category, the walk is not that much further to the beach.) There are... more

When quality, friendly service, price and location come together you have the recipe for a nice vacation. Everything written by everyone may have some truth to it at the time they vacationed there. We learned how to use the shower so the hot water was never a problem. The breakfast is very healthy and tastey, I went and picked it... more

Second year at L'Hoste. In response to the previous review we had no problem with the mosquitos during the day. They do come out ff you are in the lobby area at night using the Wi-Fi, etc. While we were there they did spray, but as mentioned we did not have a problem at breakfast, pool, sitting on our balcony,... more

I'd actually give this hotel a 3.5 review, but there is no option between "Average" and "Very Good". I'd call this one "Good". As has been described below, this is a very basic, no-frills hotel. What they really have going for them, though, is the location. L'hoste is located on the beautiful, clean, white sands of Orient Bay Beach. I... more

Stayed at the L'Hoste with my wife and 2 daughters (8 and 5) The hotel is right on Orient beach. You walk out of the hotel onto the beach restaurant (LaPlaya) and its on the beach. Free towels and beach chairs and umbrellas. The rooms are very basic. Clean, large but very basic. Do not expect any frills. The TV... more

Since one of my great joys in life is travel planning and research for me and my family, I knew exactly what to expect when we arrived at L'Hoste. It was exactly as I expected and we have a tremendous time for four days. We usually travel to five star resorts but were looking for a small, funky, centrally located... more
