What a view !!!!! Right on the beach with a bay full of beautiful catamarans and sailboats and children playing along the shore. Visitors walk through the deck alongside the restaurant, drop their shoes off near the back door and walk down a few steps to a beach chair and umbrella... WOW!!!... and the food and atmosphere. Try the peach-flavoured... more

We recently returned from Saint Martin where we spent 4 of our 18 days at La California. Much to our good fortune, Zuzu was able to rent us a street side aparment on short notice.The apartment had kitchen, balcony and living area downstairs and a queen sized bed and bathroom on a loft. The furnishings were attractive. The air conditioning... more

This was the 3rd time we have stayed here, so yes, we love La California! We have been to St. Martin numerous times, and now feel like we really have found "our home" here. My husband and I rent the one bedroom apartment, and for us it's perfect. Plenty of room for the 2 of us. Loft bedroom is comfortable... more

Having just returned from yet another two week stay at La California, we can hardly wait to exclaim again. For four years, we have been enchanted with this very affordable, immaculately clean apartment above one of the best restaurants in Grand Case situated on the beach. Most delightful is the apartment balcony with its view of sunsets, moonlight glimmers and... more

Had another wonderful visit to LaCalifornia, this time for 2 weeks. ZuZu was great, as always, arranging a taxi to pick us up at the airport and making dinner reservations. We stayed in the two bedroom apartment, with an amazing view of the sea and Anguilla. The apartment was just perfect for a relaxing time in Grand Case, right on... more

Over a period of sixteen years, my wife, now sixteen-year-old daughter and I have stayed in a number of places on the French side, including some extravagant villas; our current point of view is that, given the choice, we will stay nowhere else than La California. more

In 2006 we visited St. Martin for the first time with a brief stay at a small luxury hotel on the beach. We fell in love with St. Martin in general and Grand Case in particular and decided to return in 2007 -- not for three days, but for three weeks. La California provided exactly what we needed for a... more

We stayed the beginning of December 2006 for 5 days. The hotel location was very close to all that Grand Case had to offer (which was mostly the best food you can imagine). The hotel is on top of a restaurant (La California Restaurant) that was excellent. The owner and employees were very helpful and accomodating, they really wanted us... more

I stayed at la California 12/02/06 to 12/16/06. What was once an OK value is no longer worth the aggravation. The restaurant has been sold beginning of December. Zuzu still owns the second floor apartments but is no longer on the premises. Zuzu knew my arrival time -mid-afternoon-. I found a note that she would stop by at 6:00pm. She... more

Management response from

I am Zuzu the owner for 9 years and I build my reputation everyday with a lot of work and attention. My customers come every year and they feel at home so I am very sad for this review, but I don't understand all this hatred. As you see I have very good reviews before and after this one. Hope...

Just returned from our stay at the California and can honestly say all the reviews are true. This is a delightful place with an amazing staff. Having stayed in a number of 5 star hotels, can say that most could learn from Zuzu and her staff. They are the best. The food is some of the best I have tasted.... more
