Mercure Simpson Beach Hotel Saint Martin

We are just back from a one-week vacation at the Mecure Simpson and we just loved it! We especially loved the food.
We waited ‘til one week before travelling and could have booked for just under $1,000.00. We were advised to get a superior room for $50.00 more each. With the superior room we got vouchers for drinks and admittance to a nearby Casino, a lobster dinner and an optional complementary three day car rental, if we paid 25 Euros a day for the insurance. We also had a complimentary bottle of rum in the room, but the bar was free.
There is Ocean swimming a kilometer away, we swam in the Lagoon and the pool. The room was fine. The restaurant was lovely and the food was wonderful. We never did figure out how to use the coffee machines in the restaurant.
We went on the moonlight cruise. We drove our rental around the Island a couple of times, parking is a challenge. We drove to the butterfly farm and explored some side roads.
The Air Transat late flight was a pain! We discovered while there we could have flown out of Hamilton, with Westjet in the AM and headed back mid-day, in a more comfortable 737. Oh well.
We would go back again.
