La Samanna, A Belmond Hotel, St Martin

La Samanna, A Belmond Hotel, delivered a sensational experience for a destination wedding. The beach was breathtaking, the service impeccable, and our renovated room featured elegant, modern furniture in light tones. It was a perfect blend of luxury and Caribbean charm.

The resort is gorgeous. They have arranged the property to take advantage of beautiful views of the most gorgeous beach and water. It's a nice cove with a very long beach. Plenty of beach chairs all along with no one in front of you. Great service at the beach, two pools on property and several cafes to have lunch/drinks throughout the day. The design of the linens on the chairs and umbrellas really makes the water pop. Variety of food is great. I loved the menu at La Plaj the most, with a great variety of options. We had a lovely suite with views of the water and quick steps to the beach. Met some lovely other guests as well. St. Martin itself wasn't as great as we hoped, but this hotel was a slice of heaven and very easy from SXM airport. Was a nice visit after our St. Barts holiday for a couple extra days.

Elegant, beautiful, serene hotel with exceptional service in the Islands. Wonderful food especially the egg appetizer at L'oursin! Friendly staff. A perfect hotel!

Setting, service, amenities, food, and location were beyond expectations. We rented a car so that we could visit other areas of the island, and after an hour at the beach, decided to leave it parked for the whole visit. No regrets!

A fantastic, solid hotel. We only left the property for a few dinners in local restaurants. The beach and grounds are immaculate. Yachts anchor in the inlet for the beautiful turquoise water and view of the hotel and gardens.

Situated on perhaps the prettiest beach on St. Maarten. Great beach service and complementary water sports. Great snorkeling right off the beach (against the cliff to your left as you face the sea). The only downside of the beach is that independent boats come close to shore for snorkeling as well as dropping anchor for late afternoon parties on certain days which can take away from the chill vibe. There are two pools. The smaller of which is beautifully situated and overlooks the sea. This was our second visit and on both occasions we had big, beautiful junior suites with tremendous views. There are two restaurants. Fine dining in the main building and a more casual restaurant down below which still needs to find its footing. The island has some wonderful restaurant options and the hotel will arrange taxis for you. Typically the same driver will offer to pick you up on the return. Since our last visit, Belmont invested in a larger and more well equipped gym. Has everything you need. Lovely and well maintained property. All the hype is true.
