Hotels near Orient Bay, Collectivity of Saint Martin

The place is just lovely. The peace and view are an invitation to relax and enjoy. The decoration the setting to feel the island vacation mood. Clean, spacious full of light, birds. At night curtains can be closed for a dark resting sleep. The pool is warm and impeccable clean. French breakfast yummy. I can say reserve this place. The host went the extra mile to send by mail some earrings we forgot. Wherever you are in the island rent a car. Is worth exploring it with the car. Beaches are different and beautiful.

Me and my husband stay in the Ance Marcel Beach Resort another 10 nights and it was amazing! Well managed property, attentive and professional staff ( special thanks to Stephane and Nadia !), clean rooms( everyday cleaning ), outstanding restaurants, delicious breakfast, free private gated parking ,great service at the beach- what else can you dream of during the vacation? It’s our 3rd stay there during last 13 months and we’re not been disappointed . Every little details has been taken care by management , Stephane always available and on top of every question. Thank you! Highly recommend it!

We share the reticence of other reviewers to share our experience at GCBC lest we find our desired dates booked by others; but, after such wonderful experiences, we would be remiss not to add our accolades. This was our 2nd stay at GCBC in as many years and, like our first, was wonderful. The staff is friendly, professional, responsive, etc. Our rooms were clean, spacious, and views, views, views. The onsite restaurant is good, the restaurant and bar staff (like the hotel's) are friendly, professional, and attentive--special shoutout to Katel (sp?). It was nice to recognize hotel and restaurant/bar staff and, given the number of guests they see each year, a surprise bonus to have them recognize us, too. The water sports folks are great. There's not enough space to list all the ways we're thankful to Jovan (sp?). We enjoyed each interaction with him. We so appreciated Jovan's knowledge of St. Martin, Anguilla, etc. and his guidance in helping us plan our vacation enhancements. Truly, the attitude of all the folks associated with GCBC has been a plus and a big part of why we returned--smiles and laughter was the norm. During this stay, we changed rooms once. For us, it was seamless. We so appreciated--and knew we were spoiled by--the surprise of our 2nd accommodation. It was apparent the staff took great care when moving our things (luggage, food, including refrigerator items). We think the GCBC location is ideal. It's directly on the water, walking distance to restaurants and shops in Grand Case yet, for the most part, away from the hum of town, easy water entry, and gentle surf. Guests are able to book excursions through the water sports staff and the on-water excursions we booked left directly from GCBC, no need to travel to a different location. Having stayed at other resorts where traveling to excursion departure locations was necessary, we thought the onsite departure/return was a great benefit. This year, there was a shuttle available to take guests to/from Grand Case and, a few days a week, to/from the grocery store. While the grocery shuttle is great, IMO, one of the best parts of a GCBC vacation is the option to pre-order groceries for delivery to your room by the time you arrive. You can also use the grocery-delivery service after you arrive to restock. While we rented a car for both of our visits to St. Martin, depending on how much off-site exploring you plan, you may not need one. We've already booked our return trip and we're excited to experience the new pool and bar areas.
