We have recently returned from staying for 12 nights at the L'esplanade Hotel. Due to technical problems our flight arrived over 4 hours late. As was advised on a previous review, we had booked a hire car through the hotel - this meant that we were picked up at the airport and taken to the hotel. The car and driver... more

I have just returned from a 5 night stay at the Hotel L'Esplanade and in reflection I have to say I quite enjoyed it. Although we were somewhat skeptical of the area upon our arrival, the Hotel L'Esplanade proved to be a great place to unwind. First of all I have to say that the photographs displayed of the property... more

Bottom line, for the seasoned Caribbean traveller, this hotel is great... bar none...the island is depressed, the beaches over rated...the food GREAT. I'd forgo the great food for a great stretch of beach and non-run down town area. Too bad this hotel isn't on another island...I'd return over and over. But even compared to it's budget-priced sister islands, St maartin... more

My husband and I have been going to St. Martin for 13 years. Needless to say, we love the island. We normally stay in a villa on the French side. We have previously stayed at L'Esplanade on a shorter visit, but this was our first full week in a one bedroom suite. WOW! The furnishings are ultra-chic, the rooms are... more

We really liked this hotel. We prefer smaller properties and ths was the perfect size and in a wonderful location. Pros The rooms were large. We had a room with a loft and it was more than adequate in size and floorplan. The pool was quiet and very pretty. The bar service was excellent and I had a wonderful pina... more

For our first visit to St. Martin, my wife and I chose the L'Esplanade Hotel in Grand Case. It was a great choice. The location, grounds, service and rooms were wonderful! We can see why this hotel has consistantly received high marks from Tripadvisor members. Rent a car, as there are over 300 restaurants on the island. Grand Case is... more

I can only agree with all the other excellent reviews. We only stayed two nights but wish it had been much longer. Our room had a wonderful balcony with views over Grand Case. The kitchen was excellent and the bed very comfortable. The hotel's location is lovely, very near excellent restaurants and a small beach. The staff is lovely, the... more

First piece of advice and the most IMPORTANT is RENT A CAR. (small vehicles and good parallel parking skills is a plus) Wife and I stayed 7 nights in OVERSIZED Loft and 7 nights in a SUITE.....my preference was the suite (same price). The suite has a more modern kitchen, a HUGE balcony, NICE kitchen, 2 TV's and a kick... more

Although many have already sung the praises of this hotel in detail, we had such a wonderful stay at L'Esplanade a couple of weeks ago I have to relate our own experience. It's hard not to have high expectations going in after reading all of the glowing reviews, but I am happy to report that our expectations were met and... more

We loved our stay at this wonderful hotel. The staff was friendly and the room was amazing. We stayed in the suite with the wrap around veranda. The room was very clean, spacious, and best of all, romantic. We actually ventured to La Sammana and concluded that this hotel was better. The location was ideal, near Restaurant Row which was... more
