PALOMA VILLA ORIENT BAY SAINT MARTIN

Easy communication, very welcoming, overall a wonderful stay.

Very nice and well appointed villa.

Beautiful villa with a private pool. Walking distance to beach and restaurant. Everything was nice and clean. It was a pleasure to deal with Delphine and her husband. They were super friendly and supportive. At one point there was no electricity in the whole community. They started a generator to keep us comfortable. Really appreciate.

We have stayed at various villas before in St Martin but the ones we stayed in previously are now out of our price range or still undergoing renovation. We tried to find something similar and at a reasonable price and after much research and comparison decided to try Villa Paloma. It was fantastic! The house and amenities were phenomenal, the pool area is VERY private, and Delphine and her husband Herve were amazing hosts. The kitchen and refrigerator were well stocked (we like to make breakfast and some other meals at home to be able to relax after a day of activities as well as save some cash), and Delphine even had some surprises in the form of local goodies waiting for us on arrival! The house has easy access to the wonderful beaches of St Martin and also to Grand Case (we always rent a car for convenience sake). We look forward to returning in the near future.

Excellent

The property was perfectly described. We felt very safe in this neighborhood and it was very convenient location to get to Orient Bay village. There are many fine dining establishments. Nice breakfast at Good morning Cafe plus a little grocery store. You can walk to the beach. However, if you have lots of things to carry, I suggest driving. Delphine was very responsive when we had a question. When we go back we will definitely look at staying at this same villa ?

Great place and well located. Also, very private.

Perfect service during our stay - we enjoyed very much!

It was a wonderful Christmas, in a beautiful home. The kitchen had everything...just like home. A short walk to the restaurants in the Orient Beach Plaza made it easy to really enjoy a glass of wine and an after dinner drink. The deck and pool were so private that we only went to the beach for a few hours on two days. The owner, Dauphine, took care of everything. We have been going to St. Martin for over thirty years, often 4 or 5 times a year. This was one of the best places we have experienced.

We spent five nights at Villa Paloma and loved it. The house is situated in the Orient Bay Village and is very private. The back of the house is surrounded by bushes and there is really no view of the pool or deck from the neighboring villas. The living room looks out over the pool deck and to the right is the well appointed modern kitchen. The only thing we had to buy were the basic groceries to make breakfast, water, coffee, and some salt. Delphine, the owner, has thought of everything a guest might need. There are plenty of beach towels to use, as well as soap for the bathrooms, and even sun screen and bug spray (beware the biting sand midges that come out at dusk after a rain on the beach.) The air conditioning worked well and the bedrooms were large and comfortable. My only complaint was the extreme firmness of the mattress, but this seems to be typical of European homes. Delphine cleaned the house for us almost every day. It was very nice to come back to an organized kitchen, made up beds, and clean bathrooms. We have stayed in many VRBO properties and have not had this degree or quality of service before. It is a huge plus and is included in the rental price. The house is about a five minute walk from the Orient Beach Village which has a couple of markets and multiple restaurants and cafes. The prices in the markets here are significantly higher than the less touristy locations. (We like the market just past the pharmacy on the road to Cul De Sac.) The beach itself is adjacent to the village. The house is farther from the clothing optional side if that is your destination, but still within walking distance. We ended up driving there most days. This house has everything a traveler might want: privacy, location, amenities, and great service and ownership. I would stay here again, and plan to do so. The drive from the airport takes about 20-30 minutes depending on traffic at the time. The fastest route is through Marigot. There are many excellent restaurants in Grand Case. We really enjoyed Oceans 82, and The Cottage.
