"We stayed for 5 nights and loved the hotel but what made the stay so special was the quality of the service from Marion Idalia and the entire staff
They were amazing so helpful and knowledgeable about the island. We felt as if we were staying with family.
The hotel is charming as well with large rooms that include a large outdoor patio "
"Excellent friendly staff with a great location for what we wanted, which was quite and safe. Too many good food options, views were great. Nothing we can do about seaweed though, which they did tell us about before we booked."
"Beautifully landscaped property that provides complete privacy. Each cabana is like staying in your own personal space and have the quuiet escape to the pool right outside. "

"I have to start by saying the beach is beautiful. The location is great not far from the boardwalk / phillipsburg or Simpson bay. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Taxi rides aren’t that bad, $20 to get you to most places. $40 on the high end the farther you go. Great vibes. Only negative I would say is the rooms are a little on the shabby side but take in mind they did get hit hard by the hurricanes and are still fixing stuff to get back to pristine. But overall great trip. Great resort. Great staff. We had a great time. We will be back!!!! "
"The villa was perfect for our family of 4 including our teenage daughter and infant son. We were walking distance to great restaurants and markets to pick up food to cook at home. There was a fully equipped kitchen. The property manager was super accommodating with any requests."
"The property was absolutely amazing!!! The staff was accommodating to your needs & it was so peaceful, calm, & relaxing. (Low season)
I WILL BE BACK!"
"Cozy is indeed the word.
A neat little apartment with the possibility to drive your car inside the property.
Very clean with the necessities l needed to feel comfortable while staying there.
If you intend to cook there is no stove but there are restaurants closeby in driving distance.
There is however a fridge, microwave and toastie.
I really appreciated to hospitality of the host and the bottle of wine.
There is also a mini bar available if you forgot to buy drinks in the apartment.
5 nights in a comfortable bed and pillows.
Recommended!

Oceanfront Condo with breathtaking views and private beach access.
10/10 Excellent
"The view was amazing! Every morning was peaceful, sitting outside with coffee. To the left, we caught a bit of the sunrise, and to the right, a stunning sunset over Fort Amsterdam.The condo was spotless, on the 2nd floor with a small elevator (and wide stairs). The fully equipped kitchen had both a Keurig and a drip coffee maker. Body soap and hand soap in bathrooms. Hair dryer. The washer and dryer worked great. Bath towels were high-quality, and beach towels, chairs, and an umbrella were provided. Beds were very comfortable. Individual AC in each room kept everyone comfy!The front balcony faced a quiet street at night, while the back balcony was oceanfront. This location is at the far end of the beach, away from cruise ships. They arrive around 8 AM, but most people don’t come this far, so the beach remained peaceful.We rented a car to explore the island but found we loved Great Bay Beach the most—it was the calmest.Matthew was attentive, communicated well, and responded quickly to questions. Parking was easy, with a reserved spot behind the condo gates. The building had a locked keypad entry, and we always felt very safe—both at the condo and throughout the island.A short boardwalk leads to the cruise ship area, where vendors are open during the day but close by 5 PM. The area is quiet at night, with only a few restaurants open. Double Dutch Café on the boardwalk has essentials, and Sunny Foods, a larger grocery store, is just a 5-minute drive (open 8 AM–8 PM, "
"Great weekend getaway. This place is located right on the beach, tons of shops and good food and entertainment within easy walking distance. This is a family run place and they are very friendly. I received a warm welcome and they showed me to my room. Next time I come back to the island, I will try to get a room here. "
