We are thinking about staying in St. Martin (french side) for 3 days before continuing on for a 10 days or so in SBH. Any suggestions on where to stay?
We loved Hotel Esplanade Caribe but that was a really long time ago. (10+years) With its kitchens and loft set up it works great for a family with teens.
Other thoughts are to stay at Grand Case Beach Hotel. Don't really want a hotel on Orient Beach just cuz its so busy over there.
Or are there other recommendations we don't have on our radar. We are only looking at French side options.
My other question is what is the best way for us to rent a car. Dont relish the idea of driving from the airport to the french side. Should we taxi to Grand Case Airport and rent our car there? Might cut cost? We will fly from Grand Case on SB Commuter on our way out to SBH. So wondering if that is the easiest a least hassle way to go.
