Our first night in the Caribbean... Grand Case, St Martin

We flew to St Martin, in order to start our boat trip to Martinique.


We couldn't get a photo of the people who flock to the beach  every day, so as to be on the  beach when a flight arrives at Princess Juliana airport....

however these You Tube videos give an idea!









Our first night was in a hotel named the Love Hotel....... 







I did have hesitations about the name, but it was recommended by the NY Times!
And was on the beach......



The room was not luxurious but very adequate.....



And Grand Case was termed the gourmet capital of the Caribbean!  So how could we not stay here!

The hotel was great.......
even if the night time illumination was a little over the top!




and  the restaurant we chose was also great..... the Bistrot Caraibes





This was the Caviar d'Aubergines et crabe........which I intend to try to reproduce....it was excellent!








and one could choose one's lobster from the tank in front of the restaurant.......



which was weighed upon choice.........


It was our last night of knowing where we might be for dinner........

Next day we  went to our Moorings yacht....... and the itinerary depended on weather conditions!
