The Restaurant at La Samanna, A Belmond Hotel, St Martin

"Add loads of waterfront activities, great tennis, two freshwater pools, and two restaurants (one on the beach, one in the main house)"

"The resort's signature restaurant, Trellis, is an al fresco aerie overlooking the beach"

"The 81-room resort’s Restaurant is also famous for its innovative French-Caribbean cuisine; reserve a table either on the terrace overlooking the ocean or in the expansive new wine cellar (for private dining, by prior arrangement), a cool respite from the tropical heat"

"Dining here is also memorable; there are several dining and drinking options around the property, but the showpiece is Trellis, a restaurant set on the edge of the beach, with open-air seating"

"In the restaurant beyond, talented chefs transform ingredients flown in from the States and France into delectable Creole and French treats"
