We received a warm welcome back to Le Petite when we visited this March. We love staying at the Petite because of it's location in Grande Case right on the beach within walking distance of many good french restaurants. If you wish to use the pool you can drive or take a 20 minute walk to the sister hotel, L"Esplanade, where you can lunch or have happy hour with Al next to the pool.
All the rooms overlook the ocean and we fell asleep each night to the sound of the waves.Stephanie at the desk is always willing to make reservations , suggestions,and help celebrate a special occasion. They have a french breakfast (pastries, coffee and juice) which we supplement with fruit yogurt or eggs. There were more couples from overseas this year, likely due to the strong euro. I would recommend it for couples, although we have sometimes seen families there too.

Le Petit hotel is a beautiful little hotel in Grand Case. The beach is very nice, the hotel is impeccably maintained, and the people who work at the hotel are genuinely very nice and helpful. The hotel is expensive, as is everything in St. Martin, but it is a very nice place. All of the rooms have great views out over the beach toward Anguilla. The breakfast is simple, but fine. I would certainly recommend Le Petit for a small hotel in Grand Case.

Following a 5-day stay in Anguilla, my husband and I ferried to St. Martin for the rest of our vacation. Having stayed in and loved Grand Case the year before, we decided to stay at Le Petit Hotel in Grand Case this year. While Grand Case can look a bit squalid to the unaccustomed eye, Le Petit is like a gem set in somewhat tarnished metal. Managers Stephanie and Caroline were helpful and friendly. Le Petit is not a full-service resort, but every need was met – from continental breakfast in the morning (fresh croissants, coffee, juice), to luxurious toiletries, to blossoms strewn about our room on arrival. Our room was stylish, yet timeless, evoking both the West Indies and the Mediterranean. Our bed, with featherbed and duvet wrapped in Frette linens, was positively sybaritic. And most importantly, I was able to open the louvers and let the sound of the surf into my dreams.

Though the village of Grand Case can be quite busy, the beach is surprisingly quiet. We spent a lot of time on our balcony or in lounge chairs on the beach, watching the Heineken regatta boats go by, the planes land at Grand Case airport, or the surf toss and turn like a restless sleeper. Aside from spending a couple of hours in Marigot, and a half-hearted attempt to rent a car for a day to cruise around the island, we didn’t get out of Grand Case until departure day. And we didn’t really care.

My husband and I stayed at this charming little hotel for 8 days and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
The view of the bay is lovely and the sound of the waves washing ashore was very relaxing. The room, it's decor and amenities added to our overall enjoyment along with the helpfulness of Stephanie and Caroline.
We found the housekeeping staff to be very thorough and left no detail undone.
Be sure to try the local lolo's for dinner and Harmony Night on Tuesdays is quite lively. Orient Beach is not to be missed.
All in all we had a wonderful time.
