Totally unfamiliar with Hotel L’Esplanade but have stayed at grand Case Beach Club and absolutely love it there. My island preference is the Dutch side but when we switch it up and go for a French touch, GCBC has it all for me. I like the resort atmosphere but appreciate you can be as involved or as distant from it all as you choose. The restaurant has always been excellent if you choose to stay on site but if not, there’s all of GC and restaurant row at your disposal. The units are very comfortable and it would be my choice in a heartbeat.
