Reviews and Ratings
I chose L'Esperance because it was affordable, and for what I paid, it was a nice option. The rooms were very clean and spacious, which I appreciated. However, the air conditioning didn't cool the room enough, and there were minor inconveniences like a lack of bar soap and dish soap. Overall, it was a pleasant experience given the price.
L'Esperance Hotel is a charming and homely place to stay while visiting St. Maarten. The atmosphere is lovely, with a flowery patio and a nice swimming pool, and the owners really make you feel welcome. However, we did experience a leak in the toilet during our stay, which was a bit of a hassle despite their attempts to fix it. The location is quiet, which we appreciated, but it’s a bit far from the beach unless you have a car. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with a few bumps along the way.
This hotel is a fantastic find! The rooms were modern, clean, and very comfortable, and the friendly staff made our stay even better. While we had a minor issue with the toilet upon arrival, the staff was very accommodating. The location is quite peaceful and easy to explore the island from, which we loved. Overall, it’s a great value for money, despite the small hiccup with plumbing.
My stay at L'Esperance was definitely a good experience overall, especially for the price. The rooms were very clean and the bed was quite comfy, making for a nice night's sleep. The outdoor areas are beautiful, and it was lovely to soak by the pool. However, a few things like the weak AC and lack of bar soap were minor inconveniences. Nevertheless, it offered great value for money, especially for those who spend most of their time out exploring.
I had a wonderful stay at L'Esperance for seven nights. The accommodation is a fantastic value at $90/night with spacious, clean rooms that felt more like a small apartment. The location is convenient for self-catering with supermarkets nearby, though the WiFi could be better, and the cable TV was a bit spotty. Despite these minor issues, I would definitely recommend it for budget travelers looking for comfort and value.
