Inspired by the tripadvisor.com awards bestowed on this hotel, my husband and i booked our stay.....and will return again in the future. Rooms are beautiful - have a boat cabin feel (although much more spacious than a boat). Each room has a porch, looking out over grand case cove - great way to wake up. While Grand Case does have... more

Everything was perfect! On the hill above the rest. This was one of our best trips to St. Martin, and Hotel L'Esplanade is the perfect place to stay. The rooms are amazing with spectacular views, feather pillows and super comfy beds. I never slept better. The showers have wonderful pressure and ever detail has been addressed right down to the... more

Once again our stay at Hotel L'Esplande in beautiful Grand Case, St. Martin exceeded our expectations. Not only is the hotel uniquely situated on a hillside with magnificent views, we found the updated room decor to be especially comfortable and elegantly done. Kristin And Marc Petrelluzzi (the owners) have a flair for the unique and extraordinary and this trip we... more

this was our third visit to L'Esplanade. Its still the best. I agree with all the positive reviews and add that the warmth of the staff and owners is incredible. It feels like coming home. I suppose thats why the hotel attracts such pleasant clientele....we always meet great people while relaxing at the pool, or having lunch or a drink... more

My husband and I have stayed there in the past and really enjoyed it, although it is a walk to a beach that is not so great, and the walk to Grand Case at night to eat is dark and thus dangerous. We liked it anyway though, as we thought the rooms and service were very nice. Extremely disappointing in... more

My wife and I stayed at L'Esplanade for our honeymoon, and it was absolutely the best decision we could have made. When we arrived, the hotel had a nice bottle of champagne on ice for us, and we were able to take advantage of the dinner at the pool bar on night one after our long trip. They actually told... more

L'Esplanade is not on the beach, but unless you're willing to die for that, this is the hotel of your dreams. The location is terrific--a five minute walk to the beaches of Grand Case and into the village with its restaurants and shops. the rooms are spotless, the owners --Kristin and Mark--ever present, and the service just outstanding. At the... more

L'Esplanade is an absolute DELIGHT! It is so often a struggle to find sophisticated lodging in an environment normally packed with cruise ship tourists… the French side of St. Martin’s is quieter, classier, more natural, and hosts small luxury hotels like L’Esplanade. The town of Grande Case is intimate and chock full of world-class restaurants in addition to the beachside... more

My husband and I were extremely disappointed with St. Martin and the Hotel L'Esplanade. We thought that since it was a short walk to the beach and dining that it would be a great way to spend a vacation. The beach at the base of the hotel is just OK and you are at risk walking the path to Grand... more
