French West Indies 4 Stars Hotels

"Yes and yes. "

"Loved the scenic location of the hotel and the hotel grounds which are very well maintained. The hotel reception staff were amazing and they were very helpful. Loved the spacious and clean room. Breakfast was excellent. Also enjoyed dinning at hotel restaurants. Parking was free and convenient. "

"This was our first time staying on the French side, at Esmeralda. Overall, it is a decent resort; it consists of small villages, each containing four guest rooms. The rooms themselves are spacious and clean, and every village shares a swimming pool among its four units. The resort grounds feature a French restaurant serving very delicious food. Another nice perk is that the resort has its own private beach area, for which you can make reservations. There is a designated parking spot right next to your village, which is very convenient. Now, for the things we didn't like: First, beach towels are issued only at the reception desk, which is located quite far from the beach itself; if you need to exchange a towel, you have to walk all the way back to reception. Second, regarding the "included breakfast": in reality, it does not correspond to a "continental breakfast" as we understand it in the American sense. The breakfast offering consists of coffee, a small croissant, and jam, along with one type of cereal and a yogurt-like product that tastes more like sour cream. There is no cream cheese, no eggs—nothing of the sort; you have to pay extra for all of those items. We have stayed on the Dutch side many times, and the included continental breakfast there was a completely different experience. Third, beach reservations must be made either at the reception desk or directly at the beach itself. We made our reservation immediately upon arrival"

"Clean but not in good condition!! Only the director of the hotel was nice and kind and she showed us some pictures of new rooms that looked very nice!! Cleaning lady said there is no shampoo, conditioner shower cap and body lotion because guest were taking it so no more but next day we had everything there including bathrobes and slippers! Major renovation needed! "
