   Maybe it was just us but it feels very bougie and hard to be comfortable and enjoy your relaxed beach day. I work in corporate America and go to a LOT of upscale dinners and meetings but here I felt judged and out of place all day

   Spectacular beach restaurant! The setting, the casual chic ambiance and the delicious food and cocktails are not to be missed when visiting St.Martin. There is such a relaxed vibe—whether you’re in lounge chairs under an umbrella on the sand or having lunch in the outdoor restaurant with a view and a breeze! The service is excellent. We choose to have lunch in the restaurant after we checked out of our villa and had 3 hours to kill before heading to the airport. We couldn’t have made a better choice. We ordered a whole red snapper (fresh local catch) that was grilled and filleted at our table…fantastic! The cocktails, appetizers and desserts were all delicious too. Highly recommended!!

   The food, ambience and service was fantastic! The Red Snapper was probably the best we’ve ever had…beautiful presentation, perfectly prepared and deliciously seasoned! Gorgeous beach, sunset views and welcoming atmosphere. Spent the day in the lounge chairs with apps and drinks, and had a reservation for lunch. Chef Gil Dumoulin stopped by our table-such a pleasure…you could see and taste the pride in his work! Desserts by their in-house pastry chef were also fabulous!

   Best beach experience! The restaurant service was good but we did have to hail the waiter a few times to order additional items. Checking in with guests a little more often would help. Same with service on the beach. More checking in would be good.

    Great beach day at Kalatua always are go to beach club resto in St Martin . Well received and staff very courteous and always smiling . Beach lounge chairs comfortable within good sun umbrellas . Lunch menu top notch “ sea bass “ pricey but quality can’t be beat . One remark on their wine list , Christian Moreau Chablis Premiere Cru is price at $55 but it isn’t first growth but opening Chablis of this top notch wine house . I addressed this with waiter and after checking with management was told wine was as advertised ? This did not taken away from our delightful lunch , lastly we ordered frappes coffee cold and we’re surprised by the lack of coffee actually lacked balanced so we returned it twice till it was drinkable . Great sunset till the next time OJP Canada

    Our reservation for chairs and lunch was screwed up when we got there. Not sure how, given I made it on open table. Not like someone wrote it down incorrectly. We had to eat earlier than we wanted to. Restaurant service was fantastic and food was really good. Beach service was terrible. Couldn't find anyone to get us drinks and the bar wouldn't serve us b/c we were supposed to use the beach servers. Went on like this all day...and we weren't the only ones complaining. Ambiance was great, music great, beach was great. They just need to figure service out, especially given the money you will spend there.

    As a hotelier in St. Maarten I am always on the look out for restaurants that I can send our guests to. Kalatua is high on our list. It is so nice to have this level of dining on one of the most beautiful beaches in SXM. From the service to the atmosphere to the food, Kalatua is excellent! We highly recommend them for any occasion!! -Mike from Azure Hotel

    The restaurant was outstanding. The chef visited our table and I compared his profiteroles to those dined on in Montreal and Paris - just as wonderful !! The main courses were enjoyed by all. The chairs and umbrellas were a different story. You cannot adjust the umbrella for shade. The chairs cannot be moved, however the backs can be adjusts. So that was difficult challenge.

    A Unique Dining Experience Kalatua’s beautiful setting is matched only by the wonderful cuisine, excellent staff and relaxing ambience. Emma overseas the restaurant ensuring that everything is managed to perfection. Her wonderful personality, attentiveness and attention to details are one of the reasons why this restaurant is successful. Another reason for its success is the talented and creative Chef. Chef Gil has created a menu that is a delight to experience. His masterful combining of flavours is something to savour. The modern decor and the attention to details in the place settings help create an elegant beach dining experience. Our party of 3 enjoyed all our dishes from the starter to the desserts. We shared the Kalatua appetizer which consisted of 3 appetizers and we loved all of them. For our mains we ordered the grilled lobster 🦞 and the grilled sea bass for 2 which the 3 of us shared. Both dishes were beautifully prepared and and delicious. Theses mains were accompanied by grilled vegetables, rice and mashed potatoes. For dessert we shared the profiteroles and the cafe gourmand. The desserts were creatively presented and yummy. All these desserts were made in house by Kalatua’s Pastry Chef. This restaurant has a notable wine list as well. I would like to thank Rachael for her amazing service. Her friendly manner and professionalism were appreciated. I would also like to thank Hippolyte for ensuring we were well taken care of. Both Rachael and Hippolyte made our dining experience enjoyable. Without a doubt Kalatua is the best restaurant in Sint Maarten. The food, staff and ambiance are all first class.

    Went a couple times during our visit to St. Martin. Such a great spot. The moules frites were the best I have ever eaten in my life! Highly recommend to spend a day here but make sure to reserve your beach chairs in advance.

    Great to see a location like this on the Dutch Side of Sint Maarten. Food was delicious including drinks (try the ice tea!), service was blazingly fast and just a lovely experience overall - not the cheapest location but worth it. Only "suggestion" would be to have discounted beach lounges for those who spend on lunch. Really don't want to spend an additional $35 (2nd row) of $48 (1st row) to relax on beach after lunch. Maybe $20/pair?

    This restaurant and beach club is a world class destination on a par with Eden Roc in St. Barth or many such places in St. Tropez or Cannes or even Deauville. The property is new, stylish and fresh. The cuisine is exquisite due in part to the world class, charming chef, Gil and the abundance of carefully curated local ingredients. The beautiful and attentive manager, Emma, assures that everything is as close to perfection as possible. Being a professional traveler and writer, I must visit many destinations and I am happy to find a new one that defines exceptional!

    Beautiful lunch spoiled by the hostess! We reserved a table by the water for a soecial occasion. We arrive & the hostess says the four empty tables waterside were “reserved”. For our entire two hour lunch two of thise tables stayed vacant. And the third we learned was occupied by two women who told us they had not reserved but simply walked up from the beach. So while the food is excellent, the service delightful, the hostess and those emoty tables staring at us put a real annoying damper on what was supposed to be a special celebration. This inexplicable slap in the face to clients who reserve and request a waterside does a real disservice to an excellent chef and great team of servers.
    

    KalatuaResponded on July 26, 2022Dear Guest, Thanks for sharing your feedback.We are happy to read that you enjoyed your lunch and service. Regarding the table sitting, we are sorry to read that you were not satisfied. Any customers are important, and there is absolutely no "slape in the face" for no one. Table sitting varies from many factors,such as timing,request from repeat customers-we have many clients coming everyday, people show up late too or cancel last minute thus the difficulty to confirm specific table. Thanks
