Le Temps des Cerises

Top choice in St-Martin & Sint Maarten


'Have a Good Karma' is the motto of this chic laid-back seaside property. Eight balconied doubles are decked out in airy neutral tones with natural materials including polished hardwood floors and vintage timber furniture; all have king-sized bed and minibar. Quirky design touches (garden gnomes, vintage bicycle, Chinese room numbers) abound. Rates include nonmotorized sea toys, sun loungers and umbrellas.

Its open-plan bar area and restaurant are popular with locals as well as visitors.
