Hotels near L'Espérance Airport

Pros: Very friendly staff and a great location

Cons: That we had to leave to go home

Cons: My first time to visit st maarten, wished I had the experience for my room to be steps to pool and beach. Room had mosquitoes.

Pros: Room was nice clean excellently maintained. Fully equiped.

Cons: No would recommend

Pros: Area and choice of restaurants around resort

Cons: Shower drain was clogged and had to shower with 5 inches of standing water.

Pros: Swim up bar staff was horrible

Cons: Some of the staff and the food prices

Pros: Good location and a short taxi ride from the airport. Nice and well furnished studio. Friendly and kind staff. Resort shuttle is very convenient to get around the resort.

Cons: Check out process is most inefficient...long lines to simply turn in the key...get with the program!!

Pros: The rooms are really nice and comfortable

Cons: The elevator

Pros: Location

Cons: Mislead to believe that this was a hotel. Instead, it was a timeshare with no customer service. We paid the premium for a hotel for a simple air bnb.

Pros: I like that we had a pool right outside of our room with a pool bar (that was cool). I really enjoyed myself and my fiancé did too. We will definitely be back again!!

Cons: I had no issues really anything I didn’t like had nothing to do with the resort. I just didn’t like all the kids being in the pool all day & night.

Pros: Everything

Cons: The check out time needs to be extended to aleast 12 midday, When I am so happy and comfortable in bed I cannot leave the room for 10am

Pros: Room was nice, very clean, beach was nice

Cons: Originally had us in a room that was not on the beach but up on a hill on the property. I had to ask the front desk 3 days in a row if we could move down to the beach. We were staying 2 wks and did not want to trek up and down the hill a few times a day in order to go to the beach. I would only stay there again if we were in 'Building F'

Pros: Location was great! Rooms were spacious a little dated but that's okay. Complimentary shuttle to and from the restaurants was great. The hotel also had staff ready to help you book your excursions which was a plus! The pool staff were awesome :-)

Cons: I only wish the gym was open everyday for 24 hours.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Never liked anything about the food and the ambiance they provide. You can barely get anything to eat and for linen they barely gave enough for two people. I had to share with my boyfriend. The room smelled like an old iron house that’s full of scrap iron or dumpster.

Pros: Location

Cons: Staff was somewhat rude and did not really explain the benefits of staying there. Lack of information

Pros: Normal

Cons: Unfriendly staff Not accepted credit cards Check-in to the room of another people, not say sorry, no upgrade. Check out at 10am - it’s more then strange. Dirty pool

Pros: I loved the beachfront view from the room & the location of the resort was perfect. The buffet breakfast at the Mexican restaurant was delicious and I’d highly recommend the Italian restaurant for dinner & dessert. We had lots of fun at the swim up bar also... everyone was so friendly & all there for a good time :)

Cons: I didn’t like the $250 deposit hold required upon checkin. I thought it was excessive.

Pros: Location,we would only stay in the Marina section, ONLY!

Cons: Food, towels, parking,

Pros: The apartment was super spacious and the kitchen so well equipped. It even had salt & pepper. The staff was helpful and when we had friends over they were easy going with them using the parking at no extra charge. They have stuff to do for kids and also the store on sight doesn’t charge exuberant prices

Cons: That we couldn’t stay one more night

Pros: We are from St. Maarten. This is our home. My husband decided to surprise me with a one night getaway anniversary trip. The hotel is located in the heart of Pelican Keys close to the Simpson Bay area. Everything is in walking distance, such as grocery stores and many fine restaurants. The hotel and the hotel grounds were very well maintained. The room was spotless. The complimentary continental breakfast was excellent, and offer a verity of foods. We highly suggest that you add this option to your reservation when booking.

Cons: When we checked into the hotel a staff member at the front desk was extremely rude and called us one nighters in front of our faces. This staff member along with an another front desk lady who tried her best to be polite got into an argument about the required hold that must be placed on the credit card ($150-$250). My husband agreed to any amount that was required to finalize the reservation. The staff member was not having that and demanded to know how we booked the reservation. My husband told her to look into the system ( computer ). The lady who was checking us in whispered that we were booking.com Genius members. The other lady got speechless and walked away. This made the stay unpleasant. We have heard talk from guest who came from abroad and have experienced the same. The facilities were exellent if that is what you are interested in, but if you like good old customer service we recommend you venture futher up the hill to La Vista and La Vista Beach Resort. Lastly check out is at 10:00 am that is understandable. The housekeeping however was waiting to clean the room with all their supplies and loud conversations at 9: 30am in front the door. We decided to get out of their way and checked out. Needles to stay we enjoyed the facilities at the resort but won't be returning.

Pros: Everything was amazing. no complaints really. Food was amazing, staff was friendly, location is the best. Hotel room was spacious for my family of 6, we absolutely loved it. We will definitely be back again! OMG did I mention how great the pool was!!!! 10 out of 10!

Cons: One tiny tiny thing, I hate to see hairs from other guests in my shower. Tiny detail, but with some good rinsing during cleaning this could be avoided. Also found a long blond hair in my clean folded towel. It wasn't huge enough to complain about but just thought I'd mention so this can be remedied.

Pros: Swim up bar for happy hour, on the beach, excellent restaurants nearby. Everything a person needs.

Pros: Clean and comfortable , staff friendly and knowledgeable.

Pros: Everything,,, evrething so close,, beach,pool, places to eat, clean and pretty resort. Etc etc

Cons: No sugar in.all of the hotel,, for a cup.of coffe in my room.. Jiji.

Pros: View and location.

Cons: Perhaps the evening entertainment.

Pros: The room was excellent with a great view and had everything you needed. The location was great and walking distance to everything you need. Overall, I think it was a great value.

Cons: The clientele was older-a lot of time share types who tend to be older/retired. They need to improve the bar/restaurant. The food and drinks were actually pretty good but the drinks come in tiny plastic cups and the bartenders are completely indifferent.

Pros: Great facilities - brand new kitchen , great gym, very comfortable for a family of 6 in a 2 bedroom suite

Cons: Had to wait for pool towels on several occasions. For the amount you pay, you should not have to wait

Pros: We were only there for one night. We have been to St Martin numerous time and always stay on the French side. Next trip wife wants to stay on the Dutch side, specifically to stay at the Royal Palm.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Great beach hotel, in a very convenient location. Lots of good restaurants nearby & a great beach area. We had a great 2 bedroom 2 bath condo with full kitchen. We didn't utilize the kitchen, because that is just not vacation to me. Even though the French side is known for their restaurants, we enjoyed every restaurant we at on the Dutch side. The staff was awesome. My husband left his favorite hat on the beach one day (Tommy Bahama hat...not cheap). We checked with the front desk. They did not have it, but they said they would let us know if it turned up. A couple of hours later, they called our room to say it had been found. We thought it was gone forever. Thanks guys!!

Pros: The accommodations are a very good value for the money. Being right in the middle of everything is a nice feature at night, you can walk to the bars/restaurants, shopping, marina for boating activities. The staff is very good, especially the bell hops (the one exception is the on property bar/restaurant, which is not affiliated with the resort...that staff needs a major overhaul). The apartment amenities are probably some of the best I've seen if you want or need the comforts of home. It was very clean. The beds are comfortable, the pillows are nice, the appliances are all modern and the kitchen was very well appointed. TVs in all rooms, with decent enough cable. Security on the beach and in the resort in general is very good, and its also a necessity considering the location.

Cons: This resort is for families and snowbirds on extended leave.. The beach is absolutely HORRIBLE. Its man made. The water is very very dirty, theres nothing but muck and rocks to stand on when you go in the water. The sand you see in the pictures is dirt, not sand. I didnt realize how dirty the water was til i went in - ONCE. I dunked once and became drastically sick. Its a sewer. There are a ton of large boats moored just offshore. While scenic to view from your deck, I am betting all that muck and murk in the water is bilge leakage. The pool is small and totally overrun with the whining elderly and screaming children. This is a timeshare complex that caters to long term snow bird renters who are looking for value, and families that want to let their kids run wild while they sit in a chair and ignore them. NOT my idea of a carribean vacation. If your priority is a beach vacation where being on a white sand beach with that beautiful carribean water, make another choice. We spent the remaining days on the other side of the island. Also, the island itself has changed drastically, its downright dirty now. Lots of jamaican peddlers and beggers. I have made my last trip to st. martin.

Pros: The appartment was superb, 2 bedrooms and a large livingroom and kitchen. overlooking the Simpson bay.Within walkingdistance there are several restaurants. The staff was very friendly. The only problem (not regarding the hotel itself) was the awful traffic jam because they are working on the Welfare road until december 2011.

Cons: $review.cons

Pros: It is an excellent location, convenient to all areas. It is surrounded by excellent eating areas and bars, It is within walking distance of many entertainment venues.

Cons: Mosquitoes were everywhere. (It has been a very rainy season.)

Pros: very nice hotel,clean,perfect location,enjoyable

Pros: I love the location. The view is awesome

Cons: No

Pros: All the hotel guests were friendly. The rooms were comfortable and relaxing. Ideal for a family vacation as well as romance. We plan to stay there again.

Cons: Most of the staff were not friendly, especially the front desk staff. The absence of daily maid service, but we made do. The pool was being renovated during our stay.

Pros: The rooms were spacious and nicely appointed - each with a gorgeous ocean view.

Cons: The onsite restaurant was mediocre but there are several excellent restauraunts within a 3 minute walk.

Pros: Everything was clean and comfy. Convenient location to shopping and restaurants. Pool theme was "tropical fun."

Cons: Did not like the fact that the only place for WIFI was the hotel lobby!

Pros: I liked the island vibe I got from the place

Cons: I could here the bar from my roon

Pros: Good location

Pros: The place is beautiful , plantation and beach all in one. There was a little problem with the airconditioning. The staff took care of this immediately in a way that was satisfying to me. Could bring my dog, that was a big plus! Close to the airport, on the deck you have spectacular views of airplanes coming and going. Sound of planes did not bother me at all in the room or on the beach.

Cons: That I had to pay for the dog’s stay, the hotel was pricy enough but ...would go back again. Kitchenette is small, not well equipped.

Pros: Location in Simpson Bay right on the beach with a lovely bar/restaurant and nice staff.

Cons: The hotel is a bit old and outdated. Our room had some overdue maintenance.

Pros: Cool comfy room. Was only there for 7 hours to sleep before my flight so only saw the room. Staff were very helpful even though I arrived very late

Pros: Cosy atmosphere, very friendly cleaners and gardeners. Beautiful garden and nice soft beds. The location next to the runway makes for some spectacular views (and didn't cause too much noise, there are no flights at night). Nice beach as well! Restaurant was quite good.

Cons: There were some flaws, toilet didn't always flush, the power in the kitchen failed one night. However, everything got fixed and it's also part of the charm of Mary's Boon. It's not super luxurious and state of the art, but sweet and cosy nonetheless. Too bad there was no breakfast, but you have your own small kitchen so it's not too big of a big deal.

Pros: The hotel staff s great. They are willing to assist you with all your needs. The hotel is located near SXM airport and the beach is right in front. Depending on the room you choose you cannliterally open your door to the beach. Hotel also has a restaurant and bar on site. All in all this is a great property to relax for a couple of days while enjoying the island.

Cons: Bathroom shower needs a better clean.

Pros: The views from this property are outstanding. The staff is so friendly (and Mickey makes an amazing drink!) We stayed for a friend's wedding and everything went very smoothly. Our room was well tended and the grounds were very beautifully groomed. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all great and it was pure heaven to have a frozen cocktail on the beach. The occasional scurrying gecko or travelling hermit crab makes it feel even more authentic and part of the island. We look forward to going here again and again from now on.

Cons: The pool is quite small... But you have all of that ocean!

Pros: The staff were all very friendly and service was good. The beach front was lined with loungers and umbrellas and the beach staff were very helpful. It's an unpretentious and relaxed place contrary to some larger resorts. The beds were comfortable along with the pillows. The kitchen had everything you needed to make small meals if you preferred and had a full size refrigerator. Ice machine in lobby was nice to have.

Cons: Terrace was small and not every comfortable. No place to hang a hammock and no loungers, just a couple of plastic chairs. Our room was oceafront but was located directly over and behind the bar and the roof obscured the view of the beach. The pictures were misleading unless you actually got the room from which the pictures were actually taken. The lighting in the room was also poor. It was very dark. and the cabinets in the kitchen had a strange odor I didn't care for. The decor in the room also was out of place. Considering this is direct oceanfront, one would think a hint of "seaside" might be an appropriate theme but here, not so much. The grounds behind the lobby had a small pool and fountain. The fountain water was green with algae and was a bit unsightly. The pool was clear but very small.

Pros: This hotel is very well situated on Simpson Bay and has a nice beach and lots of dining options nearby.

Cons: no

Pros: Location - right on the beach.

Cons: Mosquitoes.

Pros: The view from the balcony.

Cons: Customer service was awful. The staff was rude and acted like the could care less. The manager would not come out and speak to us in person with our reservation issue. we killed at least 30 mosquitos per day. We got stuck in the elevator. Sliding door brk

Cons: one lady at the activities desk by the beach was less than helpful and sometimes was hardly friendly. It is difficult to try to book a trip for the day when she seems annoyed at helping, and is less than happy to answer questions regarding the trips.

Pros: Location is great.

Pros: Liked that is on the beach and its convenience. Hotels staff was plesant and accomodating.

Cons: No maid service. The bathroom was dirty upon arrival. Didn't like the new upgrades to hotel's lobby as it took away from the original theme. It was bland and unoriginal.

Pros: The bed lines were very clean

Cons: They charged me a $10.50 reaort fee per day, when my Kayak reservation said everything was paid in full.The walls are super thin, so you heard everything in the halls. The concierge desk called at 830am. It took me over an hour to get checked in. They have a pretty early checkout if 10am

Pros: The resort is in the best location in Simpson Bay with a great pool/ocean area. Restaurants within walking distance.

Cons: We were there for 16 nights and only had iur room cleaned 3 times. Floors were dirty so recommend bringing an extra pair of sandals for room. For $300/night I would expect more. The microwave was filthy dirty when we arrived and was never ince cleaned.

Pros: Great place to stay. Great room for the money and was very relaxing.

Cons: Long lines at check out. Pool was closed during stay for renovations.

Pros: Friendliness of staff, cleanliness, location of resort and amenities of surrounding area.

Pros: The Flamingo is right on the water, within walking distance of great places to eat, yet very private...during off season Simpson Bay is still active with plenty of restaurants to choose from...

Cons: Need waitstaff taking orders on the beach...both beaches....would have ordered drinks and food if they would have been roaming the beaches..during off season there are still people looking for that.

Pros: the studio was excelent. In the studio was everything from a spoon till what you don't can imagine The beach and the pool.

Cons: I think that the housekeeper have to clean the studio even twice when you stay their.

Pros: tranquility and privacy of the hotel and ammenities

Pros: We spent our 3rd time on the island. This hotel was just perfect for us. Excellent location in Simpson Bay makes it superb on one hand, the other hand the beach is great, we had an oceanview room with lookout to the airport and the white sand beach of the hotel. The room is nicely furbished with cool kitchen facilities (really fully equipped). We would absolutely recommend staying here!

Cons: Hotel has no restaurant but this is not an issue due to it's proximity to numerous restaurants and since the accommodations include either a fully equiped and furnished kitchenette or full-sized kitchen stocking up on food and drink from a nearby supermarket and preparing your own meals "in suite" is also an option.

Pros: Facilities

Pros: I really enjoyed the location and the convenience of getting to the medical school. I also liked the pool bar where you can have a few drinks with friends.
