  Lovely boutique hotel

  Great location just a short walk to orient beach and fabulous restaurants. The accommodation was great. Cute efficiency apartment with kitchen. The bed and pillows could’ve been a bit softer for me. Breakfast, European style, was included. Fresh fruit, bread, cold cuts, cheese, & coffee. Unfortunately, made to order breakfast items such as omelette, etc. , and juice is an extra charge. The staff was very accommodating and friendly.

  Nightmare

  Gilles son,Tristan, greeted us. He was abrupt and insulting, called me f______ stupid when the safe would not open with my code. He wanted us to use the code he put in. Who would do that? He told us the unit was his and we had to leave. He seized our luggage and attempted to put it outside. My husband, with heart issues, struggled with him to take it back. He then seized the other bag and did the same. He told my husband “Your wife is stupid.” We refused to leave the unit. With that, he said “You Americans.” He made a phone call and left. Minutes later, Gilles arrived. He did not apologize for his son’s bizarre behavior. He said he was there to “hear our side of the story.” Really? When we related the episode to him he said “His son has a lot to learn.” We are in our eighties and Tristan is probably in his twenties. Other guests at the hotel related they had difficulty with their safe.

  A Wonderful Stay at Orient Beach!

  This was our first time in Saint Maarten and absolutely loved our stay at Palm Court. The hotel is a wonderful boutique size with 21 units. Our room was very spacious with a kitchenette and large balcony. Breakfast is included and offers a wonderful selection of fresh croissants, cereal , breads, cheeses and cold cuts , yogurt and fruit with a variety of coffees. The ladies at breakfast and at the front desk were very friendly and hospitable. The beautiful beach is a two minute walk and there are several beach bars with scrumptious lunch choices. Hotel provides beach towels daily and beach chairs at one of the beach bars. For the evening, The Village has a variety of restaurants with different cuisines. We tried SAO and La Favelo which were both delicious. We didn't have a rental car, so front desk got us taxis very quickly and we visited Grand Case one evening and got to Maho Beach etc. Palm Court Residence Hotel surpassed every expectation. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

  Not up to even the standard

  This hotel is in a great location. The area is safe. The downside of this hotel is that it is just a place to sleep. They don’t go out of their way for anything. Having stayed at other places In the area, I felt the difference. Simple things like a bottle of water a day or a little treat in the room would make a huge difference. The only saving grace of this hotel is their restaurant and its staff. Ti palm and its service is above and beyond. They are separately owned and managed. They made the stay worthwhile.

  Don't hesitate to book this hotel, it checks all the boxes!

  This hotel is the perfect location, 5 minute walk to Orient Beach. On your walk, you will pass several small shops and restaurants. Palm Court is a wonderful 21 room hotel that has the most beautiful tropical landscaping, with private sitting spots and wonderful pool area. It is like you are in your own tropical paradise oasis because it is very quiet and surrounded by palms and flowering shrubs that are hiding a fenced gated secure hotel area. The rooms are all alike with a nice kitchenette, large tile shower, separate toilet area, large sink/vanity with nice drawer storage. The beds are extremely comfortable with very soft sheets. Each room has a large balcony with a small table/chairs and chaise lounger overlooking the beautiful pool area. We had our coffee there every morning that I brought from home and made in the coffee pot in our kitchenette. Perfect start to the day. This hotel also has a wonderful free breakfast with an optional $5 made to order eggs and bacon that we had each day. The hotel restaurant is a wonderful evening of dinner/drinks with very good food and service.
