"We had an excellent time at Anse Marcel. Phenomenal staff. 10/10!"

"I have just experienced the most incredible villa, beach bar and restaurant of my life. All you need to remember is 978. Villa Kapresse du 978, 978 Beach Lounge and 978 Sanctorum. We started our vacation at the Villa, and from the moment we arrived we were treated to an amazing experience. Fritz the owner shows his passion for the property, staff and guests. He is going to host you like you are royalty. Our room was cool, clean and lovely with the most comfortable bed and amenities. Bianca is absolutely divine in 978 Sanctorum restaurant. She is absolutely lovely and her personality is so kind and caring. She has a wonderful laugh and smile, and her recommendations are spot on. We heard about the 978 Beach Lounge on Friars Beach, based on our fantastic experience at the Villa, we postponed Maho Beach to try the Beach Lounge. We couldn't have made a better choice. The food and drinks were phenomenal, and the location was private and beautiful. Finally, I mustn't forget about 978 Sanctorum Restaurant. Chef Loic is an unparalleled talent. From appetizer, to main and onto dessert, my taste buds and olfactory senses were taken to Heaven. I will return here time after time until I can no longer travel. Perfection is 978. "

"We had a wonderful stay at this Villa Resort. The room was clean, with daily housekeeping. The Villa we stayed in was fairly new and didn’t have many kitchen amenities, such as frying pan or pots. The grounds are well kept and the beach is amazing, EXCEPT one of the beach staff were rude. My suggestion to the resort is to ASSIGN chairs for the week, to each villa. This way, you don’t go to the beach and he tells you “ sorry I’m full” at 11:00am. We could clearly see empty chairs but he was dismissive. Assigning would solve this problem. I get the feeling that $$ may play apart in this, if you pay extra, they give you better seats. There is no reasoning how they give you different seats every day. I think they could cut out a lot of the BS by assigning chairs ( and I don’t care if I’m in the front row either!). This would be easier on the staff, less stressful, and free them up for beach service. Improve staff by improving the process. The rest of the staff and all the people we encountered were amazing and helpful. The resort is in a gated community, has a beautiful calm beach, a few restaurants and shops, as well as a convenience shop which was helpful. It is located in Anse Marcel, which is a secluded, beautiful Bay, surrounded by mountains, it’s stunning! We loved being so close to the marina, easy to catch a boat tour, and just a fantastic vibe! I would highly recommend this resort. Rent a car! I don’t think I’d ever stay on the Dutch side. Busy, busy city. "

"The art displayed through out the hotel is amazing. It is well maintained and there is a nice pool in site. I did not venture the entire hotel to see the rest, but it was well cared for. Staff is super friendly. Any issues you have gets resolved expeditiously. "

"Warm and easy check in. Great front of house in the restaurant went the extra mile. Convenient , charming, and quiet hotel in the heart of Grand Case. "

"Our recent stay at Aura Anse Marcel was nothing short of exceptional, and it has truly redefined what luxury, comfort, and personalized service mean to us. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for, as if every detail of our stay had been thoughtfully curated just for us. A very special thank you to Yann and Naoimie, who were absolutely outstanding. Their warmth, professionalism, and attentiveness elevated our experience in ways that cannot be overstated. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure that everything was seamless, comfortable, and memorable. It’s rare to encounter staff who are not only excellent at what they do, but who also make you feel truly valued as a guest—Yann and Naoimie embody that perfectly. The Concierge service at Aura Anse Marcel deserves its own round of applause. Every recommendation and reservation was flawless—from booking incredible restaurants and beach clubs to arranging reliable, stress-free car service. Because we were staying at Aura, we were treated exceptionally well everywhere we went. Each establishment seemed to recognize the standard of excellence associated with Aura, and we consistently received top‑notch service, preferred treatment, and an elevated overall experience wherever we dined or relaxed. We stayed in Villa 5, which is truly the best of both worlds—perfect for vacation indulgence while still offering complete relaxation and privacy. The villa felt like a peaceful sanctuary, "
