It was an ordinary day. Doing some surfing on the web when I came upon an online story titled "Which Is The Best Beach Resort In St. Martin." My wife was sitting closeby so I posed the same question to her. We came up with about a half-dozen answers based on our many vacations to the island known as St. Martin/Sint Maarten. After some discussion I naturally had to click on the link to see if one of our guesses was correct.

Sure enough, The Grand Case Beach Club on St. Martin, the French side of the dual nation island, was the subject of the story. The Grand Case Beach Club is a 71-room beach hotel that has developed a cult following among lovers of the Caribbean, many of whom would readily choose it over far more expensive luxury resorts. The resort is located at the end of Grand Case Boulevard and has two sparkling white-sand beaches to satisfy everyone who wants to obtain a Caribbean tan. The man who can be thanked for the alluring resort is Stephen Wright, the resort's longtime general manager who gained his fame at some of the world's greatest luxury resorts before settling in at Grand Case. The resort formula is simple: sleek, crisply appointed rooms filled with local artist Sir Roland Richardson's fabulous paintings, a perch right at the edge of two beaches, a stunning rooftop pool in view of the island known as Anguilla, and an endless warm staff who share the same views as their boss. Oh yeah! I forgot the on-site Sunset Cafe which is one of Grand Case's best restaurants and serves three meals a day in an elevated location where you feel like you are floating on water.  |

If you follow Grand Case Boulevard you will come upon an unrivaled culinary scene in Grand Case filled with fine-dining restaurants galore. Your daily routine can consist of three meals in an elevated locaton where you feel like you're floating above the water. If for some reason you chose to take a day off and try a different cuisine routine, you can head to Orient Bay or Marigot or even a boat ride to Pinel Island. As described in another brochure, it's the essence of what we're all looking for in a Caribbean vacation: a charming, pretty hotel; friendly service; authentic food; and beautiful beaches. How can you beat that? My wife and I have enjoyed many years traveling to the island known as 'The Friendly Island." Try it yourself and see if you too don't love the place. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
