This was our first visit to Saint Martin and couldn't have chosen a more lovely, service-oriented location...

The team, location, service, and facilities are fantastic...

...Spectacular location along with 5 star service ...

...The location and the property are beautiful, but it's the staff and outstanding service that really sets them apart...

...As beautiful and comfortable as the hotel and location are, the staff made the whole experience complete...

...Their are many carribean resorts that compare, but la samanna has a very special ambiance ...

...The views and atmosphere at every point of the huge resort were incredible, the food and cocktails were some of the highlights of our trip, but what really set this stay apart was the service...

...We had a suite that was outfitted in tranquil shades of turquoise and aqua...

...They were even so gracious to upgrade us, fill our room with welcome and farewell gifts, etc...

...From the beautiful marble bars fronted with comfortable French embroidered furniture to the Grecian pool and gorgeous million dollar vistas everywhere. Rooms are spacious, with marble detail and top quality bedding , towels and Aqua de Parma toiletries...

...Between the laid-back, quiet, gorgeous and extremely friendly atmosphere, to the serene beauty of the grounds and buildings, the amazing food and service, it was just spectacular...

...Our room was clean and spacious , with a large balcony for watching magnificent sunsets...

...We had a 2 bedroom villa, which was large, nicely decorated, had a great wrap around patio, and walking down the patio stairs put you right on the beach with beach chairs and umbrellas all set up everyday...

...The rooms all have a view of the ocean, very peaceful and well appointed...

...From check in to my escort to my beautiful 2 bdr suite which was nicely decorated and had sufficient amenities for an Island vacation...

...When we entered our room, they had our wedding photos printed, in frames, and displayed next to a bottle of champagne...

...You feel the boutique atmosphere with always friendly greetings from staff...

Oh, La Samanna, La Samanna!...

...House keeping did an awesome job every time and room service was alway gentle on the phone that you could actually see the smile through the phone...

...We had a suite that was outfitted in tranquil shades of turquoise and aqua...

...The only downsides were the rooms were small for the amount paid and the beach is very steep down to the water, making it difficult for older or very young people to get up and down to the beach...

...We were greeted by Veronika the Head Concierge and the front staff with a glass of champagne, and escorted to our room with amazing views of the Caribbean Sea...

...The rooms are a bit outdated, but this is definitely the nicest property on st marteen and would highly recommend! They were even so gracious to upgrade us, fill our room with welcome and farewell gifts, etc...

...Rooms are spacious, with marble detail and top quality bedding , towels and Aqua de Parma toiletries...

...The rooms are extremely comfortable, clean, well designed, and sufficiently air conditioned...

...The room was perfect, every meal was spectacular and the service was impeccable...

...We stayed in two different rooms, one in the main building and one in a bungalow on the beach and both were outstandingly comfortable with an understated glamour... Aside from the beautiful grounds and natural setting, and the comfortable rooms, it was the vibe that really made this place extra special...

...We were only coming for 5 nights so we did not splurge on our room, but nonetheless it was lovely and the maid service was extremely attentive... Finally, a shoutout to the valet and front desk staff who welcomed us so warmly after a long day of travels, quickly got us a welcome drink and our room quite a bit before normal check in time...

The staff was attentive and friendly, the room was lovely, the view everyday was so relaxing and the breakfast was incredible...

...It is a an adult and family friendly hotel, with activities for all...

...Claude then showed us to our room and I could not believe what I saw... When we entered our room, they had our wedding photos printed, in frames, and displayed next to a bottle of champagne...

...The management is superior GM Eleonore and Matthias deserve kudos for meeting all of their customers needs and always go above and beyond ...

...The rooms are a bit outdated, but this is definitely the nicest property on st marteen and would highly recommend!...

...One criticism: the breakfast buffet is not cheap (39 Euro)... So if all you want is toast and coffee, or porridge,...39 Euro...

...We were only coming for 5 nights so we did not splurge on our room, but nonetheless it was lovely and the maid service was extremely attentive... we come back for longer we would go ahead and get a suite, but our room in the main building directly overlooked the beach and highlighted an amazing sunset each evening...

...Get the ahi tuna bowl....so delicious...

...Stephan, who made sure Julie got in a good sweat playing tennis every morning...

...I would highly recommend La Samanna over the large hotels on St. Martin...

...We did reschedule but to my amazement we weren’t charged for the missed services. Spa prices are reasonable as opposed to Los Cabo’s , are you listening Palmilla and Las Ventanas!...

...Nico who works on the beach is a very polite and helpful gentleman...

The service and the hotel prices are not in line... Food prices need to be adjusted to the island's level...

...Thank you Belmond La Samanna!...

...The beach was a bit rocky, the guys that work the beach were great, breakfast was very nice, The rooms are ok, for the price thought it could be prettier, But overall it was great, we will be back...

...We won't stay any place else on the island!...

...Meals from your Michelin rated chef paired beautifully...

...House keeping did an awesome job every time and room service was alway gentle on the phone that you could actually see the smile through the phone...

...The resort has the most beautiful beach, with plenty of comfy lounge chairs and umbrellas, clean white sand, clear calm water, and unparalleled beach service!!! Our room was clean and spacious , with a large balcony for watching magnificent sunsets...

...I have to say that this is really the best overall hotel we have ever stayed at in the Caribbean... We were only coming for 5 nights so we did not splurge on our room, but nonetheless it was lovely and the maid service was extremely attentive...

...Special mention goes to the beach staff, who work tirelessly and cheerfully, Romel at the beach restaurant, the staff at L’Oursin, Leah at the breakfast buffet (where they have the best pain au chocolat - and I live in Paris), and the meticulous cleaning staff...

...The food, beach, pools, service, cleanliness, friendliness are all outstanding...

...The house cleaning staff are excellent...

...Service was amazing, the room 103 is perfect and the facilities super cleaned... I highly recommend the La Samanna hotel, everything was perfect!!...

...Great bathroom shower arrangement, with rainshower head as well as handheld, and no doors or curtains; spacious soaker tub, too (and I particularly liked the Acqua di Parma shampoo etc)...

...I would highly recommend La Samanna over the large hotels on St. Martin...

...From check in to my escort to my beautiful 2 bdr suite which was nicely decorated and had sufficient amenities for an Island vacation...

...Special kudos to Nico by the beach and Anastasia by the pool...

...The 20 year old corks came out with no problems which is impressive...

...From the first day, the front desk staff were very welcoming and caring. The entire staff were awesome and they made it memorable for us... House keeping did an awesome job every time and room service was alway gentle on the phone that you could actually see the smile through the phone... Thank you LA Samana for a wonderful vacation...

The management is superior GM Eleonore and Matthias deserve kudos for meeting all of their customers needs and always go above and beyond ... They are well respected by their staff and guests ...

...The service on the beach was like you were in first class on a plane ….. you even get a button to call a attendant to place an order or fix an umbrella. Everyone was friendly and attentive, and the Restaraunt were outstanding...

...It was truly an unforgettable weekend, the resort is a beautiful, so comfortable, the staff is attentive, greats you with a smile, pays attention to your needs and pampers you...

...They call Saint Martin the friendly island and that was my experience from start to finish. All the staff were so kind, and struck the perfect balance between providing exceptional service and maintaining the relaxed, unobtrusive vibe you expect on a beach vacation... They so often went above and beyond in little ways that I appreciated, from adapting dishes to my preferences without issue, and even letting me know the names of constellations I was curious about when we had dinner under the stars... Special mention goes to the beach staff, who work tirelessly and cheerfully, Romel at the beach restaurant, the staff at L’Oursin, Leah at the breakfast buffet (where they have the best pain au chocolat - and I live in Paris), and the meticulous cleaning staff...

...From the moment you step foot onto the property, you are greeted with the most genuine smiles from people who will treat you like family... I could go on and on about the hotel, the one-of-a-kind views, the incredible food/drinks and the (not to be missed) breakfast buffet….but the staff at La Samanna are what make this place so magical and special... I wish I could call out every single staff member because they are all so deserving... So until next time, special thanks to Candice, who couldn't be sweeter and who we looked forward to talking to every day... Matthias and Huguette, who always go above and beyond to make sure we are taken care of right from the start... Nico and Mathias, who work so hard and make sure we stay “hydrated” on the beach... Amy and Adeline, 2 of the kindest souls who we have loved getting to know over the years... And Julia, who kept us laughing and provided the best car ride conversations... Eléonore is the glue that holds La Samanna together... I've never seen someone who cares about a property and the happiness of its guests and employees the way she does... She treats everyone with the utmost respect and leads the staff with such kindness and grace, even when she thinks no one is watching...

...I have to say that this is really the best overall hotel we have ever stayed at in the Caribbean... We were only coming for 5 nights so we did not splurge on our room, but nonetheless it was lovely and the maid service was extremely attentive... The staff in the mornings was so incredibly warm and welcoming... Candice is an absolute gem and we looked forward to her warm greetings each day... All of the other servers were so kind and lovely as well, and they were always attentive to us... My scrambled eggs were cooked exactly to my liking and their avocado toast was sensational... The bar area "Baie Longue" was managed by wonderful bartenders, Marco and another lovely lady who's name I missed... The concierge, Diana, made multiple arrangements for us and had great restaurant recommendations... Finally, a shoutout to the valet and front desk staff who welcomed us so warmly after a long day of travels, quickly got us a welcome drink and our room quite a bit before normal check in time... Really, our whole experience at La Sammana felt so warm and personal that we felt completely at home there...

...The staff at the hotel was very warm and friendly with her and we greatly enjoyed the special birthday cake they prepared for her on her big day... The beachside service is very attentive and the food is very good with French influence... The pool is warm and perfect for children, and the daily popsicles were a big hit with the toddler set!... We were upgraded to a very spacious one bedroom suite on the beach, which was a real treat and made for a very seamless vacation for us as a family...

...The resort has the most beautiful beach, with plenty of comfy lounge chairs and umbrellas, clean white sand, clear calm water, and unparalleled beach service!!!... Friendly people, several dining options (breakfast buffet especially good) and only 10 minutes from the airport!...

...Everyone is genuinely friendly and they do everything to make you feel a special guest. Even others guests are friendly and smilling... We hilghy recommand this place even for a once in a lifetime...

...The service was wonderful, our beachfront one bedroom suite was perfect, and it was magical to be able to sit on our patio looking at the ocean and enjoying what seemed like our own personal beachfront... Staff in the bars and restaurants, and on the front desk, seemed to be dedicated to making sure everything was perfect for us... It was an anniversary trip for us and our travel agent had mentioned this: we were treated to a welcome bottle of good champagne and a lovely little chocolate cake, in our room on arrival... The private patio of our room was a perfect place to enjoy our glasses of bubbly and access to the beach was literally "at our doorstep" as we could walk directly on to the beach from the patio... Great bathroom shower arrangement, with rainshower head as well as handheld, and no doors or curtains; spacious soaker tub, too (and I particularly liked the Acqua di Parma shampoo etc)... Nice complementary items included a printed burlap "La Samanna" beach bag (which has had good use already) and farewell gift of a bottle of local liqueur...

Service, food, and accommodations all excellent, in line with all Belmond properties... Staff is friendly and efficient--they bend over backwards to make you feel welcome and attend to your every need...

...The property is beautiful - Rooms, public spaces, food and service could not have been better!... And everyone we encounted at the hotel was very solicitous and extremely friendly... Whether we were at the pools, the beach, the restaurants, the gym or spa, we always felt so welcomed...

...Upon check in, Orrin greeted us with welcome champagne to really make us feel like we were celebrating and on vacation. Claude then showed us to our room and I could not believe what I saw... When we entered our room, they had our wedding photos printed, in frames, and displayed next to a bottle of champagne... Thank you Matthias and Elenor for your hospitality... Also a special shout out to Tom and Nico at the beach, Nameio and Claudia from dinner, and Xavier and Christopher at check out- they were all so personable, professional, and made us feel very valued... We are already trying to figure out when to come back...

From Claude and Orrin at arrival, to Christopher and Xavier at departure, every person and detail we encountered made our stay the perfect honeymoon... Tom and Nico were our beach servers most of our stay and they were attentive and quick to have another drink for us to enjoy... We had breakfast each morning from the buffet and commented multiple times to one another how this literally was the perfect breakfast... We even ran into the GM Eleanor who took time to ask us about our stay and where we were from... The whole staff was pleasant, welcoming, and personable... Thank you Belmond La Samanna!...

...Would like to say thank you to everyone at La samana for the great hospitality, care and service that we received, The people there seemed happy every day, and we enjoyed it, the food, the cocktails, everything, Would like to send a special than you to the people that works at the night restaurant, the Italian one, the young lady Naomi , she is an amazing young lady, she always greeted us with this big great smile. She is very sweet, and speaks such good English for a native of the island , she tended to our kids, made the food for them first, the spaghetti bolognaise , even if it was not on the menu, she gave us good feedbacks and instructions of places we could take the kids and things to do with them since there wasn't anything for them on the property, told us stories about the island, and her nieces ,she was busy but still came around to check on us and the other guests , her colleague eddy, always smiling, full of energy... The beach was a bit rocky, the guys that work the beach were great, breakfast was very nice, The rooms are ok, for the price thought it could be prettier, But overall it was great, we will be back...

...The location and the property are beautiful, but it's the staff and outstanding service that really sets them apart... They have the best bartenders on the island in Marco, Miguel, and Andrea... The team on the beach always goes above and beyond as well, which is often a downfall for beach hotels... The spa offers great massages and a relaxing bird garden, which we have enjoyed as well...

From arrival to departure, the panoramic views, delicious food and dining experiences, wonderful and professional staff, exclusive accommodations and spa, could not be improved upon. This was the second trip to La Samanna for my wife and me and my third...

...While many certainly went above and beyond, I wanted to write a review to recognize Veronika in concierge. She made our trip unforgettable from start to finish... Truly a star in the hospitality industry that deserves to be recognized!...

...The moment we entered the gates of La Samanna, we were filled with a sense of warmth and comfort that made us feel right at home. We were greeted by a welcoming staff who took care of us with genuine care until the day we left... Our daily ritual would start out by going to breakfast and feasting on the sumptuous deliciousness at the lovely Corail terrace overlooking the swimming pool and the sea... When I decided to make an oil painting of Baie Longue, the staff went out of their way to make it as convenient and seamless as possible... As beautiful and comfortable as the hotel and location are, the staff made the whole experience complete... It was the first time in our lives that we took photos with everyone who made our experience so special...

...We needed a weekend getaway to celebrate my birthday that would allow us to relax, rest and have some quality time, and La Samanna offered us that and so much more!! From the first smile at the entrance gate to the last smile at check out, the entire team took great care of us... Everyone spoke perfect English, they seemed happy to be helping us whenever we needed and went above and beyond!... The grounds are well kept and our suite had everything we could have asked for... We loved both pools and especially the infinity pool at sunset with a cocktail in hand (they make great margaritas)... It's the ideal set up for a getaway, family vacation, honeymoon or to celebrate a milestone...

...The entire staff were awesome and they made it memorable for us. House keeping did an awesome job every time and room service was alway gentle on the phone that you could actually see the smile through the phone...

...What a treat, everything about this resort is fantastic. We stayed in one of the suites near the water and it was just perfect... The service on the beach was like you were in first class on a plane ….. you even get a button to call a attendant to place an order or fix an umbrella... Everyone was friendly and attentive, and the Restaraunt were outstanding...

We spent our Father's Day celebration at Belmont La Samanna. It was truly an unforgettable weekend, the resort is a beautiful, so comfortable, the staff is attentive, greats you with a smile, pays attention to your needs and pampers you... The food was so delicious, the beach is one of the most beautiful ones on island with crystal clear turquoise water...

...Words do not do justice to describe this incredible resort on the Caribbean Island of St. Martin, specifically the Belmond, la Samanna, St Martin. la Samanna has the utmost professional staff from the all areas of the operation, the housekeeping staff, food service bar service and concierge... We were greeted by Veronika the Head Concierge and the front staff with a glass of champagne, and escorted to our room with amazing views of the Caribbean Sea... We enjoyed many of the amenities of the resort, the beach, the pools, the restaurants, and the bars... We met so many lovely staff members who always met us with a friendly smile and assisted us with all our needs and requests... We do want to thank Eleonore Astier-Petin, General Manager and Veronika Belesova, Head Concierge for all there assistance with planning our stay even before we arrived on the island...

...We stayed in two different rooms, one in the main building and one in a bungalow on the beach and both were outstandingly comfortable with an understated glamour. If you’re looking for ease of access to the beach - for those sunrise swims you should definitely take - I’d suggest a bungalow, but for breathtaking views of the sunset, go for a suite in the main building... Although there’s lots to do (water sports, yoga, pilates, etc) I decided to do almost nothing because just being there is wonderful... They so often went above and beyond in little ways that I appreciated, from adapting dishes to my preferences without issue, and even letting me know the names of constellations I was curious about when we had dinner under the stars... Special mention goes to the beach staff, who work tirelessly and cheerfully, Romel at the beach restaurant, the staff at L’Oursin, Leah at the breakfast buffet (where they have the best pain au chocolat - and I live in Paris), and the meticulous cleaning staff...

...From the moment you step foot onto the property, you are greeted with the most genuine smiles from people who will treat you like family...

We were only coming for 5 nights so we did not splurge on our room, but nonetheless it was lovely and the maid service was extremely attentive... we come back for longer we would go ahead and get a suite, but our room in the main building directly overlooked the beach and highlighted an amazing sunset each evening... Breakfasts at Corail were just fabulous with their fully included expansive buffet with amazing pastries and also made to order offerings... The staff in the mornings was so incredibly warm and welcoming... All of the other servers were so kind and lovely as well, and they were always attentive to us... My scrambled eggs were cooked exactly to my liking and their avocado toast was sensational... We thoroughly enjoyed the Sunday night BBQ and a truly wonderful dinner at their restaurant L'Oursin with their new 2-star Michelin chef Marcel Ravin... The bar area "Baie Longue" was managed by wonderful bartenders, Marco and another lovely lady who's name I missed... Their lunch menu was great - I really enjoyed the Tuna Poke Bowl and the Fish "Burger."... The concierge, Diana, made multiple arrangements for us and had great restaurant recommendations...

Service, food, and accommodations all excellent, in line with all Belmond properties... Staff is friendly and efficient--they bend over backwards to make you feel welcome and attend to your every need... We had a 2 bedroom villa, which was large, nicely decorated, had a great wrap around patio, and walking down the patio stairs put you right on the beach with beach chairs and umbrellas all set up everyday...

...The service was wonderful, our beachfront one bedroom suite was perfect, and it was magical to be able to sit on our patio looking at the ocean and enjoying what seemed like our own personal beachfront. Aside from the beach, the property itself was extremely attractive with winding paths connecting the different parts of the resort and lovely garden areas with a fountain and beautiful flowers and plantings... Staff in the bars and restaurants, and on the front desk, seemed to be dedicated to making sure everything was perfect for us...

It was great to have another dining option at the hotel...

From Claude and Orrin at arrival, to Christopher and Xavier at departure, every person and detail we encountered made our stay the perfect honeymoon. Lounging on the beach was all we wanted after a year of planning our wedding, and this property gave us that plus a lot more... Tom and Nico were our beach servers most of our stay and they were attentive and quick to have another drink for us to enjoy... We had breakfast each morning from the buffet and commented multiple times to one another how this literally was the perfect breakfast... The food was great but pair that with the view of the bay, and you could not ask for more... The whole staff was pleasant, welcoming, and personable... Thank you Belmond La Samanna!...

...The team on the beach always goes above and beyond as well, which is often a downfall for beach hotels... Beautiful courts with a top notch pro, Stephane... The spa offers great massages and a relaxing bird garden, which we have enjoyed as well...

From arrival to departure, the panoramic views, delicious food and dining experiences, wonderful and professional staff, exclusive accommodations and spa, could not be improved upon... We love the fact that you get France and the Netherlands wrapped into one romantic and small island...
