TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Love Hotel or Le Shambala?

We will be staying in Grand Case for a couple of nights. We have stayed at GCBC a few times, and now we are thinking of trying something different, right in town. We don't need anything too fancy -- just a clean comfortable room and a place to take in the views. Any recco's? Thanks

Check out Blue Emeraude

I have eaten at la shambala many a times and stocked the rooms ... it is a breath taking view and the rooms and the environment gives you very much a Zen feeling...

More than once I have chosen this restaurant to eat just for the ambience and breathe taking view and the food of course

When I have gone to stock the rooms I noticed the rooms are small but very tastefully decorated... if you are renting a car I am not sure about parking as I had to park in the public parking area every time I went for dinner.

Hi there
Thanks for this. We won't be renting a car. Bleu Emeraude looks great, but more for longer stays I think.

Then I would do LOVE. They are in the middle of the action and have a great little bar on the beach. Great Sunset spot. Guys that run it are great on the hospitality piece.

We have only spent the day at the beach at Love, so I can't speak about the hotel aspect. Having said that, the food is really quite good, the bar/restaurant staff are also very friendly. The prices are very reasonable. The bathroom they provide in the restaurant area on the first floor is clean (which is pretty important to me). With the way they run the restaurant and beach area, I would not have a problem at all staying there. P.S. Try their pitcher of white sangria.
