When booking I was afraid of the place, because even it is listed as one of the most beautiful beaches in St Martin, it seemed far from the major activity centres. Due to that I booked a car for the entire stay, and it was a great decision. Hotel is not far away from Marigot or Juliana Airpot, but for the fee of a taxi ride you can rent a car and enjoy exciting Grand Case nightlife with outstanding restaurants. The beach is a long sand strip, and the hotel has an agreement with a beach bar for seats and umbrellas. We stayed in high season and never found problem to get a spot. However, the beach bar reserves the right to rent their front line. About the hotel itself, they have comfortable rooms, with plenty of space, high roofs, and great control of room temperature (we had never needed to use the AC or fans). Buildings are probably from 90's but were painted recently showing a decent standard with lovely caribbean bungalows around the pools.
