Alamanda Resort

For my 5th visit to St Martin, I had high hopes for this resort. Close to some very good restaurants, cafes, beachbars and small grocery store. The rooms are recently renovated very nice and modern, sad they only give 1 towel and 1 pillow per person. We had to ask for blankets as there was only a top sheet on the bed. Fairly clean rooms except under the bed. Much better on the 2nd floor as it has decent views. Some of rooms back onto the bars and restaurants which some nights blast music until 3am. No beach chairs provided by them so you will have to rent at 30 euros per day for 2 people. Other hotels nearby provide chairs and umbrellas. The pool is a decent size, but enough loungers. The current concerige and property management are fraudulent. They tell you your security deposit is only a card print but still post the charge. They do not return your security deposit. They blame and accuse when you find a defective tv in your unit after check in. We asked a couple of days before visiting if there was a seaweed problem, the concerige said there wasn't any, but as we arrive... YES seaweed. Too bad... nice place but I would not recommend solely on who represents this resort and the constant seaweed.

Across the beach parking lot. Great location in Orient Beach. Will go back.

Perfect for what I wanted. Next to the beach and restaurant's. There is a pool but spent all my time at the beach. There as a guest you get to use the beach chairs for free, just not the front water row. Breakfast is pastries and coffee, but you can order other items from the menu. Wifi worked, but was vetter in the lobby... i tried not to work too much. Staff was friendly. Didn't utilize the concierge service except for a taxi as would have if longer than a week. They also had an adapter (US) so was able to plug in. Just remember to bring it back so there is no charge.

Very clean and nice rooms, the pool and the garden are beautiful, breakfast was okay, wifi is quite terrible and you can hear every conversation in the room next to you. This did not make it a pleasant stay overall.

Needs updating as of June 2017. Cute place. Upgrade to a higher room rather than the least expensive room.

Unbelievable. Gorgeous beach, fun environment. Make the stop and you won't regret it!

As always a great time! Thank you Vincent and Geraldine for excellent service.

Had an amazing vacation. Highly recommend it.
