Great pre/post Cruise hotel
Pros:

The hotel was great. Pool was much appreciated. Great local breakfast place within a 2 minute walk and full service, great food restaurant within 7 minute walk, however no sidewalks and sometimes lots of traffic on road to restaurants.
Hotel was clean, well kept and staff very friendly and helpful in arranging tours of the island.
You can walk to Divi Beach, but not pleasant - too hot and again no sidewalks and takes more than 20 minutes to get there if you don’t take a wrong turn in the roundabout!
But for the price, L’Esperance was well worth it especially pre or post cruise, where you will be doing all your beach lounging at your island destinations.

Pleasant
Pros:

The rooms are nicely decorated, and definitely clean. The staff is quite friendly.

Cons:

The room we were put in was very dark, and had an issue with the shower. We let the staff know but they did not show signs of fixing it so we ended up switching hotels.
