We really enjoyed our stay for a night before a cruise. Service was excellent and the staff even picked us up at the airport. So very nice - bed extremely comfortable, a nice kitchenette. A lovely pool! We will definitely return the next time we are in St. Maarten.

The hotel was great. Pool was much appreciated. Great local breakfast place within a 2 minute walk and full service, great food restaurant within 7 minute walk, however no sidewalks and sometimes lots of traffic on road to restaurants.
Hotel was clean, well kept and staff very friendly and helpful in arranging tours of the island.
You can walk to Divi Beach, but not pleasant - too hot and again no sidewalks and takes more than 20 minutes to get there if you don’t take a wrong turn in the roundabout!
But for the price, L’Esperance was well worth it especially pre or post cruise, where you will be doing all your beach lounging at your island destinations.

We liked the proximity to be able to buy some groceries, as well as to be able to walk (8 min) to Mark’s place for dinner ( delicious, great service and so much variety). This property was very relaxing and clean. We would return.

I appreciated the spot but you definitely need transportation wherever you stay on St Maarten. The service was ok but there is always room for improvement
