Only stayed for one night, but the rooms are very luxurious and up to date. Very well decorated and designed. Definitely great for a stop over trip to another island, although it is kind of far from the airport. No restaurant, but the pool is awesome.

Dear Kristin, Thank you so much for being amazing, talented and super helpful and oh so responsive. We could not have had the wedding that surpassed all our dreams without you and your professional staff. From helping find all the vendors, to making things like the BBQ and breakfast possible I can't thank you enough. Our friends and family really... More

Was not looking forward to the hotels in the Virgin Islands, seemed run-down & overpriced. Was in for such a pleasant surprise, each one we went to on each island got better & better. L'Esplanade was such a pleasure, & we only wish we could have stayed longer. Loved strolling through the gardens down to the beach & the great... More

We stayed at L'esplanade twice in March. 2 x 1 night stays before and after a cruise. We found it through Trip Advisor. The hotel has a huge huge plus and a couple of minus' for me. The rooms are stunning. The balconies and views are stunning. On the flip side it's a lovely pool but quite small and a... More

This hotel exceeded my expectations by a long shot. We had a suite and the room was incredible and romantic. It was clean and smelled amazing. The bath soaps/shampoos were of high quality which I always love. TV channels were great and lots of free movie channels. I loved that the welcome basket contained a baguette, nutella, and coffee. The... More

We just spent 11 days at Hotel L'Esplanade, and we couldn't have been happier. Beautiful architecture, great rooms (most have just been refurbished, but even ours which had not been was great). Excellent location only 3-4 block walk from Restaurant Row, with its dozen or so excellent french restaurants. Great staff. Gorgeous pool. Gorgeous views of the bay and sunsets.... More
