Palm Court at Orient Beach - Orient Bay

the only problem we had was no water for two days. no electric for 12 hrs. and the inter net service is very poor.

Wonderful hospitality from Alex and her Staff. Very nice pool for morning and afternoon swims. Close to restaurants, especially Le Piment is excellent.

We stayed the week after Thanksgiving and we loved everything about this hotel. The Orient beach was beautiful and only 3 minites walk from the hotel. We walked (5 minutes) to all restaurants for dinner and found plenty of food on the beach for lunch. I'd def come back to this hotel and would recommend to my friends.

We stayed at the hotel from August 31 to September 6 for our 25th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed our stay at Palm Court and did not experience any negative issues during our stay at the hotel. Sylvia was working the front desk or was easily reached by phone whenever we had any questions, and she was very helpful when we needed assistance. Julene ran […] the breakfast bar in the mornings except for Saturday, and reopened it in the evenings for drinks and homemade crepes, which were delicious. Natalia did the same for us on Saturday. Both ladies where extremely polite and very nice to talk to. The room was cleaned every morning while we were at the beach. The mattress in our room wasnt as soft as we would have liked, but they can't please everyone. Every day we got to see at least one iguana sunning on one of the railings or hanging out somewhere on the property. They were neat to see because you don't see them hanging out in Virginia, and they didn't bother anyone. We felt very safe and secure staying at the hotel. The hotel is not located on the beach, but it was only a couple of minutes to walk to the beach. And it was worth the walk to see the clear blue water and beautiful sand. Only saw one seashell the whole time we were at the beach, which was quite often. Recommend going during the off season because there is apparently much less traffic and we never had to wait for a table at any of the local restaurants Read more

Palm Court is exactly as has been reported. It is a very nice property within an extremely easy access to Orient Bay's beaches and Orient Village. The only negatives regarding our room were: 1.) The bed is like a rock! I've camped in the Grand Canyon with an inexpensive air mattress for a cushion and have slept better. I believe it was about Day 5 of […] our stay that I finally began adjusting to the bed. Don't expect a pillowtop mattress! 2.) The air conditioning had a set thermostat. Always below 70 degrees. We figured out that if we turned off the airconditioning at night, we could sleep comfotably until the sun rose and began heating the room through the sliding doors #about 6 AM). A setting other than On, Off, Fan & Auto would be nice. Overall: A very nice place, good continental breakfast, accommodating staff, but a cement slab for a bed & either freeze of cook for air conditioning. Read more

The Palm Court Hotel was an excellent facility with very caring and professional staff. The convenient location and 2 minute walk to the middle of Orient Beach or to good local restaurants, made this an easy choice for a 5 night vacation. I would not choose any other location for my next visit to Saint Martin.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Would definitely stay again. Everything was simple, easy, and just right. So close to the beach and the breakfasts were the highlight.

Very good breakfast, nice staff, safe grounds, room had a nice aroma

Genuine Expedia guest review

Best located hotel for the money on the best beach on the St. Martin. Quiet, secure gated hotel off the beach, but literally a safe (day or night) three minute stroll to the beach. Free continental breakfast included soft boiled eggs which were a pleasant freebie. Scrambled eggs and bacon available for a token charge. Service was excellent and the gardens, […] pool, grounds and rooms were very well kept. Emilie, Alex, and Julianne were professional, thorough, and engaging with guests of all languages and countries. Groundskeepers and chambermaids were pleasant, professionally thorough, and were also happy to see you and went the extra mile to please. We would recommend the Palm Court especially to singles or couples looking for safe and clean bang for the buck with great service and a quiet escape location, as close to the beach as you could ask without actual waterfront views.

Hotel sits on a completely security gated property. No one can get in if they don't stay there. Incense burning when you arrive in your room, a nice touch. A short walk to great restaurants, beach bars, and beaches. A great location for enjoying everything on Orient Bay. You can walk to everything. We will be back next year.

Great location (right off the best beach); very friendly staff; comfortable beds (not hard as others reviewed); good security; excellent breakfast included. We will return

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was very nice and clean and conveniently located to the beach and a few stores and restaurants. There were two drawbacks that prevent a "5" rating. First, the lighting was too dim for our taste. I could not read at night because of the low wattage of the lights. Secondly, the only English language stations on the TV were the Fox Soccer Channel […] and CNN. I realize that St. martin is a French territory, but an additional entertainment channel or two in English would have been nice. Unable to read or watch TV late at night, the opportunities to relax before bed were limited. Read more

Large room, always clean, with reliable a/c, fridge and microwave. Lovely continental breakfast served poolside. But we had very or no low water pressure during busy times and on 2 days had no water at all for several hours. We were told by hotel staff that this happens all the time and there is nothing they can do about it. The hotel is a short walk […] to the beach which is gorgeous. There are many beach side restaurants at which to eat lunch and a village center with 5 restaurants for dinner. Food is pretty expensive, but that is true all over the island. The hotel is in a residential neighborhood and so there are barking dogs and loud motorcycles. Occasionally also really loud music from the Village Center and the neighborhood. Running the air conditioner in our room helped but we still wore earplugs at night and were a bit annoyed during the day. This location really requires that you have a car, so you can go to other beaches, restaurants and the boat docks for trips to other islands. Most roads on the island have no names (really!) so allow extra time on your journeys to include getting lost. Recommendation: the Palm Court is not a resort destination, but the great beach here and elsewhere on the island make it a worthwhile place to visit. Read more

No restaurant and limited bar hours but otherwise great location, very clean, the most pillows I have ever seen in a room, good pool, very good breakfast included, friendly staff, and a very friendly dog called poupy.

Genuine Expedia guest review

First impression of the room was spacious and gorgeous with beautiful rich colors and design. Upon closer inspection the furniture are wood veneers and the bed extremely hard. Still really enjoyed the layout and design. Each room has it's own private patio or balcony, great noise reduction between rooms, some street traffic. The grounds are well maintained, […] including a pool and shared patio which offered a complementary breakfast. Afternoon cocktails and crepes are also available. The patio staff is wonderful. Front desk times are limited, from 8-1pm and 3-7pm - this information was missed on the Hotel.com site, luckily we arrived just before 7pm. Also directions are lacking. Easy walk to local plaza with many restaurants. Beach chairs and umbrella free of charge at far end of Orient Beach was a nice surprise. Also nice library to borrow from. Overall very pleased, would stay there again. Read more

Small hotel only 24 rooms, but rooms are big,modern design, each day room service provided, beach towels as well. Don't need to pay for beach chair and ambrella.Very good breakfast, very nice people working where.

The hotel is extremely comfortable. Very well located, only one block of the village and 2 blocks away from the beach. Very well decorated, big rooms, beautiul view, quiet. Nice breakfast at the swimming pool. Absolutely my best choice.

If you want to stay in Orient Bay area but not into nudist lifestyle, I recommend this hotel. Near the hotel are many restaurants and all of them are good.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Top notch. About a 5 minute walk to beach. Shops, restaurants, and convenience store line the street to the beach. Very safe. Gated hotel parking lot. Our room was so attractive and well maintained. Continental breakfast (with boiled eggs) was included. Free internet and computer in the lobby. Incense was burning when we entered the room. There was […] an electric metal window shade for privacy and safety. Small fridge and a microwave, but cooking on the stove was prohibited. My wife very much approved of this. In room safe included. The toilet sat in its own strange room, but the shower and sink room was as attractive as many first line hotels. Romantic and memorable stay. Probably not families with children. Good sleeping bed.

We stayed two nights at the end of June before heading to Anguilla. We had been to several beaches on both the French and Dutch sides in the past and knew we wanted to spend our limited beach time at Orient. Palm Court was a good price just a few minutes walk to the beach and restaurants. Beach chairs were included at Waikiki beach. We didn't spend […] much time in our room, but it was clean, fairly spacious, and met our needs. Also, Orient beach is less than 10 minute drive to Grand Case which gives a lot of good dinner options not very far away. Read more

The hotel staff were very helpful. Breakfast was great. Location is close to the beach but not so close you get beach noise. I highly recommend this property.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

3 min. walk to the beach, safe, gated community with safe parking lot, clean rooms, free beach towels every day, deal with Waikiki beach (3 min away) for free beach chairs and umbrella. you can charge everything from the waikiki beach bar to your room. very friendly and helpful staff. delish crepes by the pool from 4-8 every day. only problem was that […] the bed was too hard and fairly uncomfortable (and i don't mind a firm mattress). so we didn't sleep so well. but St. Martin is so beautiful and relaxing that this wasn't so bad. Also, there is a dvd player in the room, but no DVDs, so bring your own. books in the office you can borrow for free. fridge, sink, microwave, safe in room. Got it all! (oh, no tub just a nice big shower / wet room --- very nice). would go back, would recommend! Read more

Absolutely beautiful location. Orient Beach is amazing, and Palm Court is about a 3 minute walk from the beach. There are a number of beach bars that are great for getting frozen mohito's. Also Palm Court is just up the road from a number of great places to eat, but make sure you make a trip to Grand Case and eat there a few times, you will not be disappointed. My […] only complaint is that the beds are kind of hard, but i did not have a problem falling asleep, but if you are use to a soft bed, you may have a problem with their mattress. All in all Palm Court is an amazing hotel with a perfect location and great price. I will definitely go back if / when i go back to st martin. Read more

In my opinion, there is no better place to stay anywhere on the island. The Palm Court is beautiful, clean, quite, and secure. The service and hospitality is the same, if not better, than you would receive at a five star resort. Palm Court is located in a gated resort community, about a twenty minute drive from the Philipsburg Airport. Orient Beach, […] along with a handful of stores and restaurants, is no more than a two minute walk from the hotel. Without any reservations, I highly recommend this resort, you will not be disappointed! Read more

I stayed at the Palm Court for 5 nights. Room was spacious, clean, decor was cute. Nice view of the pool. Staff were so nice. One complaint I have is that the mattress was way too hard. Beach was a 30 second walk from hotel. No restaurants or bars in this area, you have to go to Grand Case for any nightlife. Give Marigot a skip nothing of any value […] there. Mini mart just near hotel was ok for basic necessities but the pastries were delicious, yum yum!!However, just the beautiful Orient Bay beach with turquoise water is enough to get me back there. I would recommend this hotel and would definately stay there again. Thank you Palm Court! Read more

Good place, close to the beach. Can hear the ocean from the deck. Close to good food establishments. The pizza at the market was a good inexpensive break from French food. Beach was nice, but was windy and real rough surf when we were there (4/23-4/29). You get a coupon for the WaiKiKi beach to use chairs and umbrella, but was never asked to show the […] card. Bring a wash cloth as they do not supply. Only soap and towels. Good kitchenette if you want to buy food. there is a bigger market just north about 4-5 miles where you can stock up. Breakfast was great, very filling. Breads, eggs to boil, juice, and fruit. Bacon or fresh OJ cost extra. I would go back. Read more

Great location, a small walk to a convenience store, restaurants, and the beach. Gated hotel, felt extremely safe. Very personal and friendly service and staff. Amazing daily included breakfast, go try the crepes in the afternoon by the pool! It's something new that they're doing, drinks and crepes, and it's worth doing on at least one day. The decor […] was unique and gorgeous. Would definitely go back if ever in St. Martin again! Read more

We had a very nice stay at the Palm Court Hotel. It is close to the beach and the wonderful restaurants of Grand Case. It was clean, comfortable and the grounds and pool area were beautiful and inviting. The free parking is very secure. A code is needed to open the gates. It does serve a buffet breakfast by the pool, but I can't comment on that since […] we did not have it. Our one-night's stay was reasonably priced compared to other hotels on the island. I highly recommend the Palm Court Hotel. Read more

I had a lovewly time from check in to departure. The hotel was clean and close to the beach. The only draw back was if you are American and accustomed to washcloths they embrace the French pratice and do not stock the rooms with them so you may want to travel with your own. Other than that it GREAT

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Palm Court is clean, quiet, and friendly. Our room door was difficult to close, and it took a day to get the air conditioning to our liking, but overall this is a good value. The grounds are impeccably kept and the room was comfortable. This is not a luxury hotel, so don't expect every amenity. I would definitely stay here again.

The staff was friendly & very helpful. The beach was a 2 minute walk & there were great resturants within 2 minutes. We loved the small size of the complex. The room had a microwave & ref. which we found very useful to keep drinks cold for the beach. Hotel has area on beach with their chairs & there is food & drink service on the beach.

The Palm Court was much better than expected. The parking was very secure (gated parking lot), the room was really nice and the staff was excellent. Breakfast on the pool deck was outstanding. It was a quick walk to the beach and the "town square" where there was a grocery store and restaurants as well as live music. check-in and check-out was easy. […] I would absolutely, without a doubt, stay at the Palm Court again and will recommend it to anyone.

I was there on business and felt on vacation. You need a car to go around but it is at walking distance from a very nice beach. No view to the beach though. Beware that it is a beach shared by nudists at least in the morning. Grand Case is close by and great for dinner and a drink in a hip beach bar/lounge. The hotel is not your traditional 5 star if […] this is what you want. However, it is very stylish with a Moroccan flair. The rooms are spacious and very well done for the budget. Breakfast is very nice set on the side of the pool under a pergola (can be hot on a summer day without breeze). Staff was very pleasant and helpful. I certainly recommend this hotel if you want to stay away from the classic business hotel and don't mind driving around. Read more

Leuk hotel, op 100 meter lopen van het strand van Orient Bay. Kamers schoon en comfortabel. Bij de receptie een jonge zeer goed service verlenende dame en een norse oude vrouw die je maar beter niets vraagt. Voor de rest vriendelijke mensen, goed ontbijt. Ik zou er zeker weer heen gaan.

Das Hotel ist insgesamt sehr gepflegt. Es ist ein kleines persönliches Hotel für Leute, die angenehm wohnen wollen aber ansonsten keine Animation o.ä. benötigen. Das Grundstück ist nicht groß, wirkt aber durch den gut angelegten Garten nicht beengt. Das Zimmer war sehr groß und schön eingerichtet. Die Dusche ist groß, was fehlt ist ein Vorhang/Abtrennung, […] man setzt man beim Duschen zwangsläufig das Bad unter Wasser Obwohl wir ein Zimmer im EG hatten, war es nicht laut, dies kann aber von den jeweiligen Mitbewohnern abhängen. Von der Kochnische würde ich nicht zu viel erwarten, zum Selbstversorgen ist es eher nicht geeignet. Jedoch zumindest was das Frühstück betrifft, auch nicht nötig. Das kontinentale Frühstück war inclusiv und für unsere Bedürfnisse vielfältig (Crossaint, Baguette, Käse, Ei, 3 Marmeladen,Toast, Kuchen, div. Obst , Saft, verschiedene Cornfklakes oä., auf Wunsch auch Pancakes )Wer allerdings lieber herzhaft (Wurst etc.) frühstückt, wird anderer Meinung sein. Zum Strand läuft man ca. 5 Minuten, für Leute die aus dem Zimmer an den Strand fallen wollen, ist es definitiv nicht geeignet. Schirm und 2 Liegen am Strand sind im Zimmerpreis inclusiv. Der Strand ist schön, hatte aber relativ starke Brandung, also eher nichts für kleine Kinder. Lustig ist die Mischung der diversen Bekleidungsstufen am Strand, von normaler Bekleidung bis FKK ist alles dabei. Morgens früh muss man damit rechnen, nackten Joggern (seltsamerweise aber mit Schuhen) zu begegnen. Read more
