Having read reviews from past guests, I had a basic idea of what to expect. The resort is quaint and low key. It is a 1 minute walk to the beach and water sports activities. A short 5 minute walk to Orient Beach. The property is maintained nicely. The advertised continental breakfast is closely monitored - you'll pay more if... More

This is one of the most disgusting hotels I have ever stayed. There is absolutely no way this place has any stars at all. We just arrived a few minutes ago and I do not know whether to cry or lose my money. What I have found so far: Room smell like urine and/or insect killer Shower is full of... More

Our stay at the 3 Star Alamanda Hotel was extremely enjoyable. We stayed in their 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom (over 2 levels) with our 2 teenagers. The simply furnished rooms (with a large balcony) are very comfortable and kept very clean. All rooms either look over the pool or the beach. Amazing location, right on Orient Beach which is a...

This hotel is small but nice. Rooms were big but decorated in a simple way. Service of staff was good. They are willing to help and advice. No dinner in hotel possible, but behind the hotel is a little sqare where you can eat. Do not expect the world, but for a couple of days, this is fine. Beach is... More

Beware We arrived on March 26, 2013 and was "upgraded" to the second floor to a better unit. When we saw our room we were surprised that it was shabby. We unpacked and went out to dinner. Upon returning we noticed the smell of cat urine in the outside common areas (hallways, sitting areas, etc). The next day we headed... More

Good: - Very good (the best in Orient Bay) location by the beach and near to restaurants and shops in Orient Bay area. - Free beach chairs and umbrellas for hotel customers - Free beach towels - Nice pool area and it's open 24/7 - 24/7 reception - Orient bay is probably the best location in the island to stay...

My husband and our two boys, ages 12 and 14, visited St. Martin this year on our Spring Break and my husband had chosen the Alamanda. I like that the hotel is more on the low key side, but it is still clean and very welcoming. You could not pick a better spot for spending time at the beach. You... More

We just returned from 7 nights at the Alamanda (3/21/13 - 3/28/13). This property is all about location as it is right off Orient Beach. We had a 2-bedroom unit, which included a small kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a deck overlooking the pool/ocean. This is by no means a 4 or 5 star property, but the extra space... More
