Hotels near Paradise Peak

"We really wanted to leave a good review of Villa du Kapress because the staff were so lovely and overall the villa is really nice, we also had one of our best meals here while we were on St.Maarten. The Villa was also nicely located so we’re weren’t right in the craziness, but a short drive away. But, there were somethings that took away from our experience. We weren’t given any towels in our room for the stay, and the bedding in the rooms was a bit stained. It did feel a bit untidy around the Villa in common spaces too. On our last night there, the Villa hosted a wedding. We were not informed of this and there was loud music from the Wedding until 2 AM. It would have been nice to be informed. And lastly, I did get food poisoning from our breakfast on the last morning. It was the only place my boyfriend and I ate slightly differently, and I was the only one who got sick. Again, we wanted to give this place a good reviews, because it does feel like a paradise when you look around, but there were a few pieces that really took away from our stay. "

"Everyone was terrific! The two young women at the front desk, Flav"

"Great location, super cute pool, good breakfast and lovely accommodations!"

"The one lady who checked in was really nice but the other manager/owner? Was the rudest, most angry, unprofessional person I've ever seen in the hospitality industry. We honestly were made very uncomfortable and booked another hotel around the corner. While the villa is nice it's really a gilded mansion with very minimal if not gauche interior design, just an afterthought. Felt very soulless. "

"The kitchen offers a stove and pots and pans, but no cooking oil or ingredients."

"This hotel is very well located on the beach, nice beach bar with loungers and restaurant on site. Small rooms but very well appointed."

"This was our first time staying on the French side, at Esmeralda. Overall, it is a decent resort; it consists of small villages, each containing four guest rooms. The rooms themselves are spacious and clean, and every village shares a swimming pool among its four units. The resort grounds feature a French restaurant serving very delicious food. Another nice perk is that the resort has its own private beach area, for which you can make reservations. There is a designated parking spot right next to your village, which is very convenient. Now, for the things we didn't like: First, beach towels are issued only at the reception desk, which is located quite far from the beach itself; if you need to exchange a towel, you have to walk all the way back to reception. Second, regarding the "included breakfast": in reality, it does not correspond to a "continental breakfast" as we understand it in the American sense. The breakfast offering consists of coffee, a small croissant, and jam, along with one type of cereal and a yogurt-like product that tastes more like sour cream. There is no cream cheese, no eggs—nothing of the sort; you have to pay extra for all of those items. We have stayed on the Dutch side many times, and the included continental breakfast there was a completely different experience. Third, beach reservations must be made either at the reception desk or directly at the beach itself. We made our reservation immediately upon arrival"
