St Martin is not our favorite island....but the French side has a special 'shabby chic' charm.
We stayed at Le Petit Hotel in Grand Case for two days to celebrate our 35th anniversary. Our anniversary is in March - but we can't get low season special rates then. This is our third anniversary get-a-way during our three year visit to the West Indies. Previously we stayed at Jade Mountain and Ladera in St. Lucia
It is a pretty little hotel right on the beach - kind of a blend of Dutch and French style. I think it has 10-12 rooms all looking over the beach
the lobby
Our room - #5
I like the 2nd floor for view but 1st floor is nice because you can walk right out to the beach. On the second floor #6 is best because it is on the end with a nice view up the beach. We looked right straight out over the water - pretty nice too
Look to the left
Look to the right
Our room - it has a little kitchenette, nice soft bed, and flowers flowers everywhere
This is what it's all about!
to the first floor rooms - a suite (separate bedroom) and oversized studio
there is a sister hotel also in Grand Case -
l'Esplanade. It has a fabulous pool we were able to use
A kiddie pool - we need some grandchildren babies around!
We were the only ones there - all morning
Crepe lunch on the beach at la Californie
Shabby chic Grand Case beach
Our favorite thing - French breakfast brought to our room on a tray every morning
Yum...pain au chocolate looking over the Caribbean!
