Your Saint Martin Vacation Itinerary

  • Day 2: Pick up the keys to a rental car and cruise around the island. Stop off at Loterie Farm then head to Quartier D’Orléans, a seaside village on the eastern coast.

  • Day 3: Don’t head home without savoring a sumptuous meal in Grand Case, known for its gourmet French cuisine. Time your visit to catch a glimpse of the elusive “green flash” as the sun sets over the ocean.

I was disappointed with my stay. The room appeared clean at first, but I unfortunately saw two cockroaches during my stay, which made me very uncomfortable. I hope the management addresses this issue seriously.

The hotel itself was average and clean, the kids were happy because they mainly wanted to enjoy the pool and the sea — and those needs were met. What really affected our stay, though, was how we were treated by some of the staff. Unfortunately, I’ve experienced this before in parts of the Caribbean, ...

The room and view are amazing. It has a nice pool, although the layout is a bit backwards. The pool bar is in the shallow end and that is where the MANY children at the resort splash and play so it was a bit inconvenient; especially when pool water would end up in your drink. Maybe they could start ...
