You would think your second visit to this hotel could not top the first one, but it did! The location is the best, everyday what views from your balcony. I already miss waking up having my coffee on the balcony with that view. What am I going to do without my sunsets! You cannot believe how beautiful. The staff is... More

Amazing staff, amazing rooms, amazing experience..... Don't come here expecting a resort or an all-inclusive experience, that's not the St. Martin experience -- at least on the French Side... this is a truly unique, special place to visit.... Perfectly situated on a hillside, gorgeous views from your two-story room.... not on the beach, but it makes no difference... you take... More

A big part of me doesn't want to review this hotel because I don't want anyone else to know about it--it's too good, in some ways too good to be true. My husband and I always say that if we had to design the perfect small hotel this would be it. Scores of reviews say the same thing and no... More

I had to postpone my initial reservation due to illness. They were extremely understanding and helpful, permitting me to reapply my deposit when I was again able to travel. Six months later, we arrived for a long weekend in March, 2011. I let them know it was my wife's birthday and asked them to recommend a restaurant for her birthday... More

The hospitality of the staff and the owners was out of this world. The view from the hotel was breathtaking with gorgeous sunsets from our balcony every night. The pool had a wonderful swim up bar and served a tasty lunch. The details in the room were incredible from the decor to the comfortable beds, I could have stayed in... More

We booked here largely on the strongly positive reviews, and were not disappointed. This was our first trip to St. Martin, and first to the Caribbean in general not staying in a resort, so we were a little apprehensive about driving around the island, walking through the towns etc. We're not inexperienced travellers by any stretch, but just unsure about...

This is a top-notch hotel with free Wi-Fi, a must these days, and delicious optional breakfast. Nice view of the ocean. Unfortunately, you need to walk to a nearby hotel and use its beach at 15 euros per umbrella, a distinct disadvantage.

My boyfriend and I stayed at L'Esplanade in November 2011. Our room had a fantastic view and was clean and well decorated. When we first got in some good music was playing and we found fresh bread and cookies! The staff was very kind and helpful. We would definitely recommend it!

L'Esplanade is a beautiful, well maintained property located within walking distance of restaurant row and the beach. Additionally, the best word to describe the Front Desk staff is accommodating. Nathalie, in particular, helped turn what could have been a terrible last night into a wonderful one, though each employee went above and beyond. We were so glad we chose this... More
