“Perfect Budget Hotel in Beautiful Location”

This was the perfect budget hotel for our long weekend vacation in St. Maarten. Conveniently located close to the airport in Simpson Bay, there were plenty of restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations and entertainment nearby. There were not the touristy stores that you find in Philipsburg, but the restaurants cater to tourists and were delicious, especially Kharacter, a 1/4 mile walk down the beach toward the airport. The hotel itself is tucked away between some residential, commercial and dirt lot properties but is across the street and over a dirt lot away from a beautiful and quiet beach, I'm talking a VERY short walk. St. Maarten can be sketchy at night but the hotel felt safe and isolated behind its gates and walls. There is a gated parking lot outside of the rooms for renting a car, which is a must in order to get around. The rooms are clean and comfortable, nothing fancy. The nice thing is having the kitchen amenities (microwave, fridge/freezer, stove, sink) and separate bedroom. The service is absolutely wonderful as the front desk was very helpful in providing anything and everything we needed or forgot and in arranging activities and car rental and they had very very good recommendations for restaurants and everything else. The staff does expect you to clean up after yourselves and not dirty up their white towels or get excessive amounts of sand in the room or else there is an additional charge. A $50 deposit is due at check-in.

Area recommendations
Simpson Bay and Little Bay appealed the most to us due to the gentler waves and quieter beaches. Both are beautiful and also close to town.
When to go
Do not go in hurricane season. We always make this mistake because September is the month we usually like to travel but 1. it's too risky with the weather, 2. the islands are deserted, stores are closed and excursions get cancelled because they don't fill up
What to pack
Lots of sunscreen at least SPF 30 - I get tanner in the Caribbean than anywhere else I've ever been Mosquito repellant - they come out at night Snorkel gear

“A rare gem in the Caribbean”

A pure gem! Amazing customer service by Marcus, Carter and Polly who make an already beautiful hotel all the more spectacular. They will go out of their way to ensure your stay is pleasurable and enjoyable. Spacious room tastefully furnished with every amenity you could need, free wireless internet throughout the property, and a secluded gorgeous beach at its back entrance. The location is perfect if you need to relax or dine and party. It's all in walking distance. Don't miss out on this place if you're planning to visit St. Martin.
