La Samanna, a romantic for Valentine's Day

Even most jaded among us (and sometimes better married) think they have become insensitive to the celebration of Valentine's Day. It might take a few advertisements in magazines, a television show or companion very attentive to help us reconnect with the pleasure of being pampered at a special day or an evening dedicated to Love. While some are content with conventional roses too, some will even offer an exotic holiday, away from everyday life, away from children, away from anything that contributes to the routine that kills the couple. This article is therefore especially to the gentlemen, those of my readers who want to please, and believe me ladies, many of them write "I would take my wife in a dream location, recommend that you? ... ".

Considering that love is celebrated every day, I am not a fan frenzied Valentine's Day and I smile politely when he saw the riot of cards and micro-events created by the Anglo-Saxon who love the romanticism of the water pink. But on entering the suite 115 of the Hotel La Samanna on St. Martin Island, I immediately knew it was dedicated to couples who want to take care of each other and enjoy time spent together, a lounge on the plush sofa, a bedroom light in its green and lavender with access to a private terrace decorated with its Jacuzzi, its bed rest for two-and four-poster room with its gauzy chiffons. The must? A breathtaking view on one of the most beautiful beaches on the island of St. Martin, Long Bay, which owes its name to the nearly two miles of golden sand lapped by turquoise waves.

One feels immediately at home in this beautiful but more intimate proportions and it is with pleasure that you all share a glass of white wine - offered by the Department - at sunset on one of two terraces.
