**This hotel was impacted by *Hurricane Irma* in September 2017. We will update our review as soon as we have more information**. LOVE is a three-pearl hotel located in the delightful fishing community of Grand Case, on the French side of St. Martin. The hotel’s 19 rooms are simple and stylish; many offer terraces with full or partial ocean views. LOVE backs onto Grand Case Beach, and its chilled-out restaurant features spectacular ocean views. But on-site amenities are otherwise limited -- there's no pool. Still, most guests will be at the beach or exploring the surrounding neighborhood, which is packed with galleries, shops, and restaurants. It’s worth comparing rates with nearby Bleu Emeraude Residence, which offers similarly boutique ambience with the addition of full kitchens in guest rooms.

**Bleu Emeraude was significantly impacted by *Hurricane Irma* in September 2017. The hotel is currently closed for repairs and plans to reopen on March 1, 2018**. We will update our review as soon as we have more information. The upper-middle-range, 11-room Bleu Emeraude is an inviting Grand Case hotel with a vibe that feels laid-back and high end at the same time. Rooms are modern and contemporary, featuring full kitchens, washing machines, and flat-screen TVs. The private terraces in all the rooms are a major highlight, granting spectacular views of the Caribbean and some have access onto Grand Case Beach. With a chic common area, a free continental breakfast each morning, and within easy walking distance to downtown Grand Case, this is an ideal location for romantic couples and leisure travelers. The hotel sits on a particularly busy street and has virtually no amenities beyond the beautiful beach. Those looking for a pool and full restaurant might consider Grand Case Beach Club, offering more amenities at a consistently lower price tag.

Hotel L’Esplanade is an upscale, 24-room boutique property tucked on a hillside overlooking the popular and lively Grand Case neighborhood of French St. Martin. The hotel is quiet and tranquil with Mediterranean architecture, tropical landscaping, and gorgeous views throughout. Each room has a balcony and full kitchen, and the units are spacious and sophisticated. The pool is scenic and lush with plenty of palm trees and loungers. The property is not located on the beach and due to its small size, lacks some of the amenities of a larger resort such as a fitness center or on-site eatery. Those who prefer a beachfront property in this caliber nearby should consider Le Petit Hotel.

Perched on a hill overlooking the Caribbean, Grand Case Beach Club is a lovely four-pearl hotel with a laid-back but charming ambience. The four-pearl hotel features two small beaches -- Grand Case Beach and Petit Plage -- a spacious rooftop infinity pool, free water sports equipment to borrow, plenty of sunbathing terraces, and a small fitness center. All 71 rooms are modern and range in size from studios to two-bedroom units that feature flat-screen TVs, kitchens, and balconies. Fresh flowers and a welcome bottle of wine are nice additions. A daily continental (though somewhat sparse) breakfast is served in the open-air restaurant, Sunset Cafe, which also offers casual grill fare for lunch and dinner. Bleu Emeraude in Grand Case is a quieter beachfront option (with fewer amenities) at a slightly higher price.

Le Petit Hotel lives up to its name -- with only 10 rooms, the property certainly is small. Guests can expect a relaxing atmosphere, personalized, attentive service, and plenty of room to themselves. The rooms are spacious and sophisticated with full kitchens, modern bathrooms with rainfall showers, dining tables for four, and private oceanfront balconies. Other perks such as free Wi-Fi, a free continental breakfast, and a beachfront location help make Le Petit Hotel a top upscale choice in the popular Grand Case area. Due to its small size, the resort lacks some amenities that you’d find at a larger resort such as a fitness area and on-site dining, and there is no pool. Sister property Hotel L'Esplanade has a pool but no beach, while Grand Case Beach Club has both but its rooms are less luxurious.
