We spent 5 nights in a Deluxe room in Feb 2025 and were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room! The bed was comfortable and we loved having the balcony to relax on. All of the staff were wonderful and so helpful. Very short walk to the beach and we appreciated that we had access to chairs at 4 beach clubs (KKO was our favourite). Short walk to Orient Village made dinners really easy. Great stay!

Upsides...Staff is outstanding. Proximity to the beach is excellent. Parking a positive. Downsides...a bit dated particularly with modern electrical outlets ie no HDMI outlets. Had 2 different units with #1 only one available outlet, Much better with 2nd unit. Also, quite pricey. Would I stay again? Probably.

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Esmerelda! The spacious villas are private and secure, with a gated entrance and a private walkway to the beach. It’s also just a short walk to Orient Beach Village, so we felt safe letting our young daughters explore on their own. The resort’s restaurant is fantastic—make sure to book in advance for the Friday lobster special. Breakfast is complimentary, with fresh fruit and French breads, offering a taste of the authentic French West Indies. If you're looking for an American-style buffet, this isn’t it, but the offerings are perfect for a relaxed start to the day. Overall, this resort combines comfort, privacy, and convenience for a wonderful St. Martin experience. Highly recommend!

It’s a quiet place and yet a few steps away from the beach, where there are great options for dining if you go further and explore different restaurants available at different spots.
