Pelican Hotel
We stayed at the Pelican Hotel and resort at Simpson Bay. There are two resort accomdations at Pelican, the older units and the new units. We stayed at the older units and had the lower lock off unit. The first room we looked at had a large black mold area on the ceiling. the next 2 rooms they showed me smelled like a damp place. Do not, I repeat do not say in the lower lock offs. they are below grade and are very musty. In fairness to the Pelican resort, the upper older units seem to be ok and many had fabulous views. If we did not arrive so late at night, we would have gone somewhere else. Avoid the lower lock off units but again, I would consider the upper units.

Good hotel and location
Staff is overall friendly although they will try to sell you timeshares when you check in (but you can say no as you enjoy your free drink, no big deal). Even though we got there before 1pm, they let us check in and take our things to our room (which was being cleaned at the time). The on-site grocery store is a great convenience and prices are reasonable. The on-site french bakery is also good. Not the nicest beach on the island (be sure to check out Orient) but definitely a great place to relax. A big plus is easy access to boating trips since they are on the Simpson Bay Marina. Trips offered by the hotel are also a great value (free bus to Phillipsburg), inexpensive tour of french beaches. They seemed to throw in free daily housekeeping on our room as well. Lots of restaurants are within walking distance on the main road in Simpson Bay. Overall, a great hotel for the money.

Be sure to check out the planes landing at Maho beach! It is the only place in the world like that.

great deal
Our room was clean and we paid an excellent price! The room was a bit outdated, but we would definately stay there again. Loved how we got to rent a kayak for free everyday!
