Orient Beach Hotel

Really nice vibe and quality accommodation.

Nothing

Top notch experience! Will be back again and again.

Really more like a four star hotel but as compared to what’s on offer generally in St. Martin, it’s definitely more towards five star. It’s located in Orient Bay Village area directly facing Orient Beach. Reception is small but quaint and very great service overall. We stayed in the -21 line which is on top floor of three story structure and has no neighbors, Our in-laws stayed just below on second floor. The rooms themselves are quite nice and styled very well for this type of hotel. Rooms are large with a massive king bed, a separate sleeper sofa and a kitchenette with fridge, microwave and two burner gas stovetop. Ample storage and a safe as well and of course a tv, and a nice sized balcony with direct sea view. Seemed the 4 and 5 buildings had the best views. The shower is a bit awkward as it’s one of those half shower glass door things so water can invade the bathroom floor. Also the water pressure isnt great and no bath exhaust, but it does have a small window. Also, you will need to walk up stairs for the best rooms (no elevators that 8 saw). Also has a small but serene pool. I may want to avoid the roomw directly facing the pool but some may enjoy that. Also, the breakfast is not only average but also the hours arent great. But you can also order proper breakfast if you pay extra and it’s right on the beach, As for the sargassum (we stayed in June), Orient Beach was replete with it both on the beach and in the surf. Obviosuly not the hotel’s fault and it is part of nature. There was a guy in a backhoe that came eqch morning it seemed to clear it from the beach, but only seemingly in front of the beach club adjacent to this hotel (which was fine with me). Although it can be annoying, we ended up making the most of it and having sargassum fights in the sea! Walking distance to the restaurant row of Orient Bay Village with shopping that has many very good restaurants! Also has fauan roaming like “soi” dogs, as I call them, and cats which are friendly! There are many many condos, other hotels and perhaps residential as well in Orient Bay so it is seemingly safe, and pleasant. And the beach oberall is huge and fantastic. If you are not dead set on a villa, this hotel is a very smart choice not only on French side but for the entire island, especially for the price. Would highly suggest having a rental car, as parking is ample and you need one to get out of Orient Bay area.

The room was nice and comfortable. Great beach access. Junior was very helpful and courteous.

Beautiful property, super clean rooms, very friendly staff.

Everything was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Nice big rooms and a balcony. It was very comfortable. All room face the ocean. Some rooms have better views than others. Our room was excellent.

Excellent beachfront, included breakfast. Needed better tv operation instructions. Hotel didnt caution about sand fleas bites exposure. I experienced terribly large number of bites.

We loved everything about this property. It was perfect!

the staff were helpful and friendly and the location was near beach shops and restaurants. the room had more than enough supplies for us for the weekend and had easy beach and pool access. the surroundings were calm and serene.

the beach was covered with sargassum and the woven art and lamp shades in the room were dusty.

Great hotel - spacious rooms, well kept and wonderful location. We had a room on the top floor and had great views of the beach and ocean. It was nice to have a continental breakfast available as well as beach chairs. We would certainly stay here again. The only issue - and it is not with the hotel - is while the beach is beautiful, there was a great deal of seaweed on the beach which made walking on the hard part of the sand, difficult. It seems as if it was particularly bad this time of year. It is though a beautiful beach.
