“Wonderfully relaxing”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

This hotel was recommended by our travel agent. We asked for a small, quiet, luxurious Caribbean hotel on the beach. It satisfied on all accounts. The accommodations are lovely, the food is excellent (although the service is annoyingly slow), the staff is most helpful, especially the guest relation manager. The property could use a bit of freshening up. But this... More

Reviewed 7 May 2013

My husband & I spent 2 nights on our way to Anguilla. I was there many years ago & remembered the resort fondly. It still has a good feel as a small intimate resort and we were happy we started the trip here. Check in was easy although not that friendly or thorough. We were tired & hot from trip... More

“Amazing setting, great service”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

We stayed at La Samanna for two nights before staying at a hotel in Grand Case. I have never seen such a beautiful place. The rooms are all ocean-front with private balconies. The beach bar service is fantastic. The Trellis restaurant is quite good, and you simply will not experience better views anywhere! There is a fairly long beach (1.5... More

“Beautiful resort, EXCELLENT SERVICE and STAFF!”

Reviewed 24 April 2013

While the resort was beautiful in every way, the ingredient that differentiated La Samana from other high end Caribbean resorts was the staff. Each person could not have been more friendly or accommodating. It was a wonderful vacation!

“Beautiful resort, dismal service.”

Reviewed 20 April 2013

I want to give 5 stars for the resort and 2 stars for the service. The resort itself is beautiful, sitting on a little cove on the French side of St. Martin and only 10 minutes from the airport. The view as you walk to the check-in desk is amazing, and the beach is wide and deep with ample umbrellas... More
