It was our second stay at L’Esplanade and everything was outstanding just as our first stay was.
Besides being in walking distance to beautiful beaches and fabulous restaurants L’Esplanade also offers excellent yoga classes with Dinah and Elizabeth and Frank the host at the gorgeous poolside bar.
Host Christine was also very knowledgeable and accommodating.All in all L’Esplanade is an excellent choice from top to bottom.

This was mine and my husbands second time to St Martin but first time at L’Esplanade. The property is beautiful with gorgeous views of the ocean. We loved that it was walkable to the amazing restaurants in grand case. A shuttle is also offered if you do not wish to walk. We also loved that we could pick up our breakfast in the morning and enjoy it on our own on our balcony. Yoga classes were included and also excellent. Will definitely stay here again when we return!

A grand stay in Grand Case!
We had a wonderful stay here. The whole team was top-notch, from the front desk staff to the housekeeping team. The hotel is well-maintained, clean and quiet. Having the courtesy shuttle (Thanks Harry!) to the dining spots in town was a nice touch! Don't try navigating that hill in the dark. We will miss having French pastries, fresh fruit and great coffee from our balcony overlooking Grand Case every morning. Looking forward to the next time we can visit.

The property and suites are well designed and cared for. The staff were very helpful and helped make you feel relaxed. The views from your balcony are beautiful. Walking to town is easy -- especially important to visit the many excellent Restaurant Row dining choices. The proximity, by car, to Coco Beach and Anse Marcel was wonderful as was the actual hotel pool. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Loved it. Really enjoyed it was a smaller boutique hotel. Staff was amazing, super friendly, and I loved the attached yoga studio. Location was great in walking distance from all the restaurants and the beach. I would definitely come again.

We loved our stay here. The beautiful mire from our balcony. The relaxing pool and pool bar made for a relaxing afternoon. The hotel shuttle will drone you to the dining area and bring you back after dinner. We will definitely return next time we are on the island.

From the time we got there to the time we left, we were treated so well. We got there a tad earlier and were let in which was so appreciated after our 10 hour travel day. We were welcomed with yummy punch and brought to our beautiful room. Every morning you were given an array of pastries and choices of fruit. The hotel is right by the restaurant district so many delicious restaurants within walking distance. Also close to beautiful views of the beach. When we return, we will definitely stay here
