Smoking Hotels in French West Indies

"Relaxing garden view. Spa was fantastic. Location is absolutely perfect. Spent every day in beach."

"Stunning views and lovely beach. Property is well maintained with pretty gardens. Staff was helpful and pleasant. Our oceanview suite was large and comfortable."

"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"

"I booked room at Salako, however, when I got there I was placed at Clipper, no elevator, no phone, ac not working properly"

"Excellent service with a great location. Gladly return to this hotel. "

"The actual resort was beautiful but other than the pool and beach, there was nothing else to do. The food was okay. This is not a great travel destination for Americans, unless fluent in French. The American was flying inverted, which made us stay at the resort and not travel outside. Overall, pretty resort and that is the only positive I can provide."
