My husband and I planned a get-away for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary. We chose the Alamanda after looking at several other hotels. We wanted a hotel right on the beach, as well as one that offered island charm and great views. The Alamanda seemed to have it all and we were not at all dissapointed with our... more

My husband and I planned a last minute trip to St. Martin in July and could not have picked a better place to stay. First, maybe because it was last minute and off season rates, but we got an incredible deal on our room. Only $160/night (USD), which included free continental breakfast. Second, the best thing about this hotel is... more

Alamanda Hotel is a really really good hotel, right next to the beach with arrangements with beach restaurants for beach chairs and parasols(normally cost $20 per day) included and beach activities and food and purchases charged to your room so you do not have to bring a wallet. Restaurants were just behind the hotel, extra convenient. The rooms are great.... more

This was the destination hotel for our last girl's getaway in March of '08 and we all just loved our stay here. We're big St. Martin/Orient Beach fans and the mid-beach location can't be beat. Orient is a very looonnnggg beach so if you go, know where you're staying to make sure you have optimal positioning or you'll either be... more

The Alamanda was a wonderful, quaint place to stay. Our room was very clean and spacious and had an incredible Caribbean flair. Tiffany, Ludivic and Geraldine were all very friendly and extremely helpful with plans and suggestions about what to do and where to eat, etc. Since this was our first time staying on the island, their advice was very... more

This is a place that will set you carefree before you even know it. We couldn't of been more relaxed. The rooms were exceptionally clean. The staff wonderful and friendly. Tiffany and Allen couldn't have made a better host and hostess, always there for us and we looked forward to seeing them when we walked thru the lobby. This resort... more

Just got back from St Maarten. The Hotel is great. We had a two story room which had 2 bathrooms and two bed rooms. We had a great view of Orient Beach! Geraldine at the front desk was great! Tiffany was really nice too. The staff there was very nice and helpful and the breakfast in the morning was really... more

The Alamanda Hotel was even better than we expected. We liked the "village" atmosphere around the hotel with the shops and restaurants. We would have enjoyed an unobstructed view of the beach and water (pretty swaying palm trees were in the way!) but our balcony and room were great. Would totally recommend the hotel! Orient Bay was beautiful and it... more

Premise: I work for an airline and travel more than average. Plus, I have stayed in all ranges of hotel classes. I will start by describing the area and I think that will help with understanding the hotel. Orient Baie is a closed off area of the French side. The lodgings are typically 2-3 floors tall. There is a lot... more
