Le Temps des Cerises — Beach Hotel and Restaurant on Grand Case Boulevard
Beachfront hotel-restaurant at 158 Boulevard de Grand Case with rooms on the sand.
Why Go
Le Temps des Cerises — The Time of Cherries — is a French expression for fleeting moments of happiness. On Grand Case Beach at number 158, this hotel-restaurant combination captures that philosophy: rooms facing the Caribbean, a restaurant serving meals with sand between your toes, and the island's greatest restaurant street as your evening promenade. The happy moments here aren't fleeting — they repeat daily.
The Experience
The hotel-restaurant hybrid format means dining and sleeping happen in the same beachfront setting. You eat breakfast watching the morning light cross Grand Case Bay. You return from the boulevard's restaurant crawl to a room steps from where you ate. The integration removes the friction that separated hotels and restaurants create. Rainbow Boutique by Rose operates nearby for shopping. Ludo Taxi Services handles transportation from Grand Case to other parts of the island. Rainbow Café, one of Grand Case's most celebrated restaurants, sits along the same boulevard. The Grand Case Boulevard at 158 places Le Temps des Cerises in the central section of the restaurant strip, surrounded by French, Creole, Italian, and fusion restaurants that compete for the title of best meal on the island. The proximity to the lolos — open-air barbecue stands — adds the budget-friendly local option that rounds out the dining spectrum.
What to Try
Dine at the on-site restaurant for at least one beachfront meal — the setting justifies it regardless of the menu. Walk the Grand Case boulevard at dusk choosing between restaurants. Visit the lolos for authentic Caribbean barbecue at local prices.
Insider Tip
Le Temps des Cerises' beachfront location at 158 Boulevard catches the sunset at the perfect angle — the sun drops behind the hills to the west while the bay reflects golden light. Request a beach-level table facing west for the optimal view.
