Paradise Found!

This condo is a wonderfully upscale accommodation in an absolutely gorgeous location! The owners have thought of every detail and you are instantly as comfortable here as you are impressed with your surroundings. Perfectly located near the French/Dutch border, its ideal for staying on the grounds or exploring the island at your leisure. We prefer to rent a car to explore all of the beaches on the island (37 of them!), but there are also enough restaurants, nightclubs, and gourmet markets within walking distance to keep you happy. If you're a golfer, its steps away from the only course on the island. I had a hard time deciding whether I wanted to sleep in, take the spiral stairs down to the secluded beach for a dip in the crystal clear sea, lounge by the sparkling pools, or work out at the fully appointed gym, nicely loaded with new Cybex equipment, free weights, and plate loading machines! The large wraparound balcony is the perfect spot to read a book, have a drink, or just relax and listen to the sounds of the island. And the sunsets? Amazing. You'll be on the side of the island that gets to see those legendary sunsets light up the sky each and every night. I've been to St. Martin many many times, and this is by far my favorite place to stay! The owners are gracious and genuinely interested in making your stay comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable. The grounds are unbelievably gorgeous with flowering bouganvillea vividly spilling along the walks that lead you to the cliff-side pools (one with a waterfall). You can hear the surf crashing against the waves below while you soak up that beautiful sun on the most comfortable chaises I've ever stretched out on. It was nice to have covered parking and a gated entrance/exit and the staff at Rainbow are attentive and treat you very well. I highly highly highly recommend this place to anyone who would like the urban sophistication of upscale amenities combined with the charm of the Caribbean for a terrific vacation. The only complaint anyone could have about this place is that they eventually have to leave and go home! Enjoy!!
