Hotels near Grand Case Esperance Airport - SFG, Grand Case

An island full of delightful restaurants and bars, often with stunning views. Excellent Creole cuisine, beautiful beaches, a very lush and green island with a mountainous interior (though the mountains are, of course, not very high). Be cautious of potholes in the roads and relatively heavy traffic. Motorcyclists tend to drive fast and recklessly. The locals are friendly, open, and helpful.

Orient Bay is a beautiful beach area and community. Beaches are clean, village center is clean, very safe and family friendly. However the French side has a water issue. We did not have water almost every day. Their water purification plant has issues and it trickles down to the end user, meaning that there is no water. Many of the the properties safeguard against that with back up systems. Plus you have the beautiful ocean to jump into..... LOL. Even though the water came back on during our stay it was down almost every day. Orient Bay has plenty of food and drink options. I give Orient Bay on the French side a 10 out of 10.

The water was beautiful and the apartment on a perfect location but there’s still so much destruction from Irma on Grand Case. Also lots of businesses closed. Not many stores or restaurants to stroll by

I loved Anse Marcel! The beach was fantastic as it was very calm, and never crowded. A little marina with shops was within walking distance, and larger grocery store app. 10 minute drive. The ferry terminal for Pinel Island was also a short drive away, providing a fun day trip with great hiking, beautiful scenery, restaurants and resort beach area. It was also possible to book other tours and day trips from the marina as well. Fabulous hiking in the area, but I would have liked to see more signage for the locations.

On this island you need a car. There are taxis, but there are many remote parts to this island that are so interesting to explore. And, driving here is fun--small cars, narrow winding roads, lots of hills and fabulous scenery. If your preference is driving a monster SUV, then rent taxis.

Orient Bay is an incredible place with beautiful beaches, great food, wonderful people, and exciting activities. The only drawback is the situation with abandoned/stray animals, which is an issue for the entire island. For North American and European visitors, this is very disturbing. Adding to the problem is the resistance to spaying/neutering, causing an exponential increase in unhomed, starving animals. The sadness of the situation detracts from the enjoyment of the vacation and poses a danger for local inhabitants. I'm unable to return until this improves. Many St. Martiners are working hard to rectify the problem, but they can't stay ahead of the number of animals. The government should begin an education program immediately, starting in the schools.
