It's quite apparent that the management of L'Esplanade and their sister hotel, Le Petit have secured their discerning clientele for life. They've left NO stone unturned, giving you exactly the hotel experience they would desire themselves. It's better than fabulous and everyone I met had been a guest before. Why is it, even with a nonstop flight, travel seems to... More

We stayed at L'Esplanade, for two nights, in May, as a stop over before joining our chartered yacht in the B.V.I. We wanted to chill and recover from our flight from Paris CDG. If you want to stay at a hotel with all inclusive facilities, a beautiful beach and amazing food with doting staff don't stay here. Stay at La... More

We spent a lovely 2 nights here before heading to Anguilla. I am so glad we picked this perfect spot - far away from the tourist areas of St. Maarten and set in the picturesque area of Grand Case. We loved that there were only a few rooms, so the service was top notch. Views were great, pools were quiet... More

There is so much to praise about this little hotel that I really don't know where to begin. It has so much charm! There are some things it is not, and doesn't pretend to be. Do you need nightly turndown service? Really? Well, there's none. And no, there's no on-site restaurant. But aren't the fabulous restaurants a 10 minute walk... More

Spent 7 nights in room 16 and were cant wait to get back. The hotel is very much what you read here. The rooms are spacious , clean, and private. The staff could teach a course in hospitality. They wil accommodate any reasonable request. We had no issues with any of the amenities. The only little drawback was the walk... More

This place is truly wonderful, and every bit as perfect as described on their website, and trip advisor reviews. We selected this place carefully, as this was the place we were to spend the second half of our honeymoon, and we couldn't have been more delighted. Immaculate, peaceful and beautiful, the rooms were very well appointed with homely furniture, and... More

We chose this spot based on all the wonderful reviews on trip advisor and were not disappointed. We had not been to St. Maarten in about 34 years and were so happy we chose the French side. We honeymooned on the Dutch side and were so disappointed when we saw how commercial it had become. The French side is much... More

As we are packing our belongings to depart today, there is an extreme wave of sadness. We do not return home, or back to "reality", but instead we continue our island-hopping adventure through the Lesser Antilles. My husband and I seriously thought about canceling the remainder of the trip so that we could stay here, at L'Esplanade, with this amazing... More

Lovely room, great service, and perfect location for easy access to some delightful restaurants. The pool was quiet with a nice bar with grilled sandwiches. Wish the location had been on the beach, but it was just a short walk away. Parking was easy and the grocery was only a two minute drive away. Would go back again without hesitation.
