Le Clos Saint-Martin Hôtel & Spa

Kindest staff I’ve come across in a hotel. Great secret position 3 minutes walk from the harbour with 2 pools. A great getaway from the hustle and bustle of the port which is as pretty a harbour as you could hope to find. Would thoroughly recommend

The hotel is perfectly placed on the edge of St Martin so is quiet but a convenient 5 minute walk through pretty, cobbled backstreets to the heart of the town around the harbour. There are two pools - one for kids and a quiet one for adults only. We liked our room - no 23 as it was quiet, spacious and had views across rooftops of the town one side and the pool the other. I suspect the ground floor rooms might feel too close to the pool on one side and too dark on the other.Only two grumbles about the room - not enough hooks for towels and robes making it difficult to get towels dry and we were trying to be eco and not to have them changed. The bathroom often looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned as towels were left exactly where we’d left them ie draped over the bath or squashed on the rail. The staff were all lovely - friendly and helpful. Worth booking the hotel parking at $20 euros a day. The nearby public one was $33. We didn’t try the spa as it seemed everything (even a manicure) was £195. WE’d certainly come back and highly recommend the hotel for families or couples.

We went with friends and when we settled on here at their request there was one higher price room 11 left that we gave them and took room 27. I am sure I would add more praise had we had a larger, better designed room. But for all the good things I will say later it is 3* for Room 27. It has the bed too close to the only cupboards which are not large enough to allowe you fully to unpack. It has plenty of space for two casual chairs given the poor bed placement but only has one for sitting and reading. It over looks the first pool which had one very noisy child and adult playing in it when the weather was good. Now many positives: Very Good Staff - Very Good location with safe parking you pay for. A much better breakfast than our next hotel and staff who serve well and keep things topped up. The adult pool is a delight after a day on the bikes. Their restuarant recommendations were good. Better room - higher review. Finally last time we stayed in La Flotte which we love. But I have to say the more central location is better for bike exploration. You can get to the Phare and back more comfortably.
