I stayed only three nights at Alamanda earlier in May. Shared a duplex with my two adult children. Clean rooms, lots of space, wonderful breezes. In response to a negative review below, the ONLY bug I saw was a mosquito that bit me during the night because I left the porch doors wide open to enjoy the ocean sounds. (But... More

Spent 8 nights at Alamanda with no complaints-excellent value on St. Martin for the money. I'm amused at some of the comments....the 'smell' described is NOT cats, its the cleaning solution that they mop the floors and halls with-you know, sort of like our Pine Sol. This hotel was very clean, and I'm always amazed at what people think that... More

The resort is lovely and the staff is very friendly I must say the front desk agent Anou made our stay perfect he was so peasant and helpful when we asked for assistance with our room.The resort is right across from the beach and the restaurants are a short walk we enjoyed all of the restaurants especially little italy and...

Having read reviews from past guests, I had a basic idea of what to expect. The resort is quaint and low key. It is a 1 minute walk to the beach and water sports activities. A short 5 minute walk to Orient Beach. The property is maintained nicely. The advertised continental breakfast is closely monitored - you'll pay more if... More

This is one of the most disgusting hotels I have ever stayed. There is absolutely no way this place has any stars at all. We just arrived a few minutes ago and I do not know whether to cry or lose my money. What I have found so far: Room smell like urine and/or insect killer Shower is full of... More

Our stay at the 3 Star Alamanda Hotel was extremely enjoyable. We stayed in their 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom (over 2 levels) with our 2 teenagers. The simply furnished rooms (with a large balcony) are very comfortable and kept very clean. All rooms either look over the pool or the beach. Amazing location, right on Orient Beach which is a...

This hotel is small but nice. Rooms were big but decorated in a simple way. Service of staff was good. They are willing to help and advice. No dinner in hotel possible, but behind the hotel is a little sqare where you can eat. Do not expect the world, but for a couple of days, this is fine. Beach is... More

Beware We arrived on March 26, 2013 and was "upgraded" to the second floor to a better unit. When we saw our room we were surprised that it was shabby. We unpacked and went out to dinner. Upon returning we noticed the smell of cat urine in the outside common areas (hallways, sitting areas, etc). The next day we headed... More
