The most recent review titled "intimate and relaxing french hotel" is right on target so I won't bore everyone with the same information. I will however mention a few additional items. Right around the corner is Orient Village that contains 7 or 8 restaurants. We tried a few and enjoyed them. For those who have not stayed at the hotel... More

This was my second stay at this wonderful French hotel. Alamanda is a small, intimate hotel (about 30 rooms, 2 levels) located on the Northeast side of French St. Martin. Guests were mostly from France or the US. Alamanda is right on Orient beach, which is accessible by a small walkway from the hotel. In general you will need a... More

Lets start out that there are no Four Seasons or Ritz's on Orient Bay. This is a typical European type Hotel in my opinion. The Rooms need a little Sprucing up but they are plenty big enough. The room we had had its own Fridge which we got some Diet Coke's, Beer and Wine for a little appetizer before Dinner.... More

After several vacations in Dutch St. Martin,I decided to change it up and try out the French side. This hotel looked cute, so we booked it. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a snotty look and an eye roll, and no help with out bags. When my mother was signing in, she filled out the info form. She suffers from... More

We stayed at the Alamanda in late Feb - early March 2012 and had a very pleasant experience. Our annual winter escape to the caribbean usually is spent at an all inclusive style resort, but this time we decided to change things up. We have travelled extensively throughout the Caribbean and Europe so this trip was a mixture of both... More

It is a very friendly;y place with good service from staff. We go there every year in February and book via online travel agency Tripguy.com which gets us the... More

This hotel is laid back, warm and inviting and so is its staff. It sits just across a beach access road from Orient Beach, which is a public beach, but which is dominated by bars and restaurants which control the beach chair and umbrella rental businesses. It's a beautiful, if shallow, beach and the people watching is terrific. There are... More

If you're looking for West Indies charm, excellent location and the friendliest staff on the island, this is the place for you! You've got one of the best beaches right out your door, great restaurants you can walk to, and a staff that can't do enough for you.

We just returned on January 14th from a fabulous 8 days at The Alamanda!! Our fourth time back since the opening in 2003 with our children who are now 19 and 21. All four of us have loved this resort every time, especially the wonderful manager, Vincent and staff. The Alamanda is our home away from home and we look... More
