2 Best Hotels in Grand Case, St. Martin and St. Maarten

Guests return year after year to the classy, loft-style suites of this immaculate family-owned and -operated boutique hotel on a hill overlooking Grand Case village and harbor. Units are tastefully decorated in dark wood, tropics-style, with big four-poster beds and terraces that offer stunning sunset and bay views. Kitchens are sleek and stocked with basics before you arrive, and bathrooms have chic waterfall shower heads and double vessel sinks. The nicely designed spa is in a lovely pavilion, which is the site of free morning yoga classes. The heated pool and its swim-up bar are in a picturesque garden that's the place to be for cocktails.

Be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the ocean in one of the spacious units of this tidy complex set on a sliver of Grand Case Beach. Studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments (the biggest accommodates six people) all have great views—with big sliding-glass doors to showcase them—and are beautifully furnished with blue or green accents. Apartments are accessible to those in wheelchairs by elevator, and there is both outdoor and indoor parking. You can request a crib or high chair, but availability is limited.
