We stayed here for a week at the end of January. We've stayed previously at Le Grand Blue and Grand Case Beach Club. I'd rate Palm Court above both. Liked -The free breakfast was great! Plain and chocolate croissants, fresh bread, cheese, hard boiled eggs, cereal, fresh juice and fruit are complimentary and served on a nice patio overlooking the... More

Adorable hotel, good enough to meet anyones expectancies in Orient Bay. Orient Bay is not for everyone but will suite most people, and so will this hotel. I loved the details, the spicey scents in the room, in the bathroom. The staff was very nice and helpfull. Alexandra from the reception was adorable and always willing to help! Honestly it... More

My husband and I recently spent five nights here. Clean, secure and well-maintained property. One block walk to Orient Village, two blocks to the beach. We met several repeat guests. Last trip we had stayed at Alamanda, but Palm Court is better quality, service and price. We would definitely choose Palm Court next trip. At night you can visit restaurants... More

We just completed a one-week stay at this hotel. It was nice but not luxurious. Being on the French side of St. Martin feels more like being in France than in the Caribbean. Almost everyone speaks English well but there is very little Caribbean flavor to the restaurants and atmosphere. Pros: The large rooms were kept clean and included a... More

We were surprised by the decor - a very Indian theme with a lot of bright colors, brass decorations and incense. It is private with a nice pool (very cold water). A short walk to the beach not a problem. The security gate was broken our entire stay and there was some sort of altercation one night in a room... More

Stayed on Orient many times over last 5 years and the Palm may well be the best overall place to stay. Nothing fancy just nice people, peaceful setting and clean. Gated entrance for a secure feeling. Not that we have ever had security problems ever on Orient. We never leave anything in the rental car . No room anyway in... More

We had a layover in St.Maarten and decided to drive to Orient Bay for an overnight. The palm Court was perfect. 5 minutes walk to the Orient beach. Nice garden with decent pool. Fenced property. Secure parking. Large rooms in 3 storey buildings well appointed. Looks like the property is extremely well maintained compared to the rest of the island.... More

Stayed for a week between Xmas and New Years. Large and comfortable rooms. Just a few minutes walk to the beach (mostly along a path - no shoes needed). But it was much better than being on the beach itself. Rooms had absolutely no musty beach smell or rust, which you'd usually see on beach properties. And there was good... More

Lovely proprietress, comfy & clean rooms, great privacy. Easy walk to beach and shops/restaurants. Island is only 5 miles x 5 miles so easy by rental car. Be careful parking in Phillipsburg - we got our car towed but police very polite. Take insect repellent as we got more itchy bites here than multiple other Caribbean vacations. We took US... More

Stayed for 2 nights at Palm Court right after Thanksgiving (then when on to St Barts for 4 more nights) and generally agree with most of the reviews posted here. Spacious room, quiet, secure, and a short 2-5 minute walk to Orient Beach. We showed up at Waikiki Beach and enjoyed the morning before heading over to Maho to watch... More
