Le Lanternon

Misses the mark Great location and charming house. Our room was nice and spacious and the bathroom was lovely too. Le Lanternon has potential but misses the mark on a number of fronts, principally service related. It all starts with a bizarre check in rule of 5pm. There is no one available to even leave your bags with if you arrive early. We were offered breakfast the first morning and told to look at the picture of the offerings online for the ‘lux’ breakfast. The pic shows a beautiful spread with an overflowing bowl of colourful fresh market fruit, which we were told was bought the morning of. Reality was a half full bowl of banana, a few tiny pieces of kiwi and mushy melon. You had to scrape the condiments from almost empty jars and the coffee was mediocre at best. €25pp is not good value so go out and find yourself a nice cafè instead. For the price of the room you get virtually no service. No room service during your stay or amenities in your room. You’re not even allowed to help yourself to a hot drink in the morning (unless you’ve paid for the overpriced breakfast). There are many other places to stay on the island where you’d get much more value for your money.

Maison historique magnifiquement restaurée dans les règles de l’art et à la décoration ultra soignée, avec meubles chinés vintage, bassin de nage à contre-courant dans un superbe jardin planté d’oliviers et figuiers, en plein cœur du port de Saint Martin. Un lanternon réhabilité offre une vue 360 à couper le souffle sur le port, la mer et les remparts. Petit-dej très généreux ! Le propriétaire est aux petits soins et n’hésite pas à reserver vélo, restos, etc... pour ses hôtes. Nous avons séjourné dans la chambre Bateau Ivre, qui offre une vue imprenable sur le port. Excellente literie, draps en lin de grande qualité, sdb tres spacieuse, le tout avec une décoration pointue. Nous reviendrons assurément, avec amis et famille !!

Experience chaleureuse et cosy Sejour paisible au coeur de st martin , lieu sympa, cosy, chaleureux .
