Wonderful!
The only words to describe our visit over Thanksgiving to Le Privilege Hotel. We were welcomed and treated like guest in someone's home. Our every desire was handled instantly by Bernard, the owner and manager of the hotel. We spent a week, and frankly, Bernard made our trip very special. His knowledge of the local scene, his advise on restaurants (You gotta go to the Cottage in Gran Case) were absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was relaxed and informal, the room was quaint and VERY clean, the view was impressive. It's a very quiet place, removed from the hustle of staying in town, and we found it met our needs perfectly. I would recommend Bernard and his hotel to anyone. We will go back again and again.
I just can't say enough about how welcome Bernard made us feel. We now count him among our friends.
There are two restaurants on the grounds, both pretty good, and there is a dive shop and gift shop. It's so quiet at night that you can hear the tree frogs, and in the morning multi colored tropical birds will share your breakfast on the patio with you if you are still and non-threatening. All in all, if you are into relaxing and site seeing, it's about as good as it gets, and it's not crowded.

We stayed at Hotel Privilege in April 2004. We really enjoyed the
location and beach of Anse Marcel. We appreciated the fact that the
beach was not overcrowded and you could always find a lounge chair. This
is not the location for people that want a lot of action (long drive
from the nightlife of the dutch side) but the beaches on the French side
are more beautiful. The hotel manager Bernard was very good to us and
even provided decongestants when we had none and informed us of local
tours and restaurants that were amazing. Try Los Gauchos and
Chesterfields in Phillipsburg. Our experience was that St. Martin has
amazing cuisine but you will pay a lot for it. The driving experience is
comparible to rides in Disney and be careful of the mountain of death
you must descend before arriving in beautiful Anse Marcel. Pedestrians
appear to not have the right of way on St. Martin, be careful not to
become road kill. Our room was clean but smaller than expected and
nothing fancy. It provided our needs but did not pamper us. It had
everything you needed but the shower was quite awkward. If you are
disabled the bedroom in the loft will not be accessible. The highlight
of our trip was our sailing/snorkelling adventure with Scoobi-doo.
Anguilla' s beaches are amazing and the water is the most beautiful
shade of blue I have ever seen! I also enjoyed snorkelling in Anse
Marcel to a private beach. We will definitely go back to St. Martin. The
island is beautiful and you do not have to worry about getting sick on
the food like in Mexico. Hotel Privilege is a good economical hotel that
is in a beautiful location with a short walk to the beach and we may
stay there on a future trip.

I recently stayed at the Hotel Privilage in St.Martin.I would never ever go
back.First off Anse Marcel is in a Cove at the way end of the island.First
you must drive up and down what I refer to is the Mountian of Death..a
scary jagged, barely paved road that goes into Anse Marcel.The hotel is
scruffy.I keep hearing that Bearnard is a really great guy.(Didn't see it)
We had dinner our first night a Le Veranda at the Merdian.It took 3 hours
for dinner.It is all very french and alot of the shop owner don't care for
Americans.They also don't like to take travelers checks or American
express.Oh, try making a phone call to the states.Forget about it.The only
pay phone is next to the marina.Basically it was way too exspensive, they
hate americans, only want cash, we were treated so rudely by the shop
person in Le Boutique underneath Hotel Privilage.I wouldn't go back if
someone paid for everything and paid me on top of it! Kelly T.

just came back from spending 8 days at Le Privilege and had a terrific time.
this was our 4th trip to the island so we are in a great position to offer a review.
The hotel was great. rooms are better and larger then at the Meridean (next door).
the terrace and hammock chair were a delight.
Short walk to the best beach on island (anse marcel). only negative is that there is no bar room charge service at beach so bring cash or CC.
Bernard (the GM) and his staff made us feel like family. not to mention that we got to know the staff at the local restaurants and shops who were also very friendly and helpful.
To make most out of stay you should rent a car.
when we go back to St Martin Le Privilege will defiantly be our Hotel of Choice.
