Philipsburg Hotel Guide. Hotels in Hope Estate, Philipsburg, Sint Maarten

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at this resort, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a team of incredibly friendly and courteous staff who truly made me feel welcome. A special thank you to Carlo and the front desk staff, who provided excellent service throughout my stay. They were always attentive, professional, and eager to help with any request, making the check-in process smooth and ensuring I had everything I needed. The overall atmosphere of the resort was relaxing and well-maintained, and it was clear that guest satisfaction is a top priority here. It’s rare to find such consistently warm and genuine hospitality, and it made a lasting impression on me. I would absolutely recommend this resort to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!"

"Beautiful location with great amenities, amazing adult only pools with great bartenders. Very close to the airport and known for the flights landing just above the water but it is surprisingly not annoying, actually fascinating "

"Very nice room, comfortable beds and lovely staff!"

"Pool was good, location was good. Mold in shower and cockroaches too. Hospitality staff was hit or miss 50/50."

"This resort was an enormous disappointment and felt like a complete misrepresentation of what was advertised. The beach was one of the biggest letdowns there was very little actual beach space, and it was not swimmable, which completely undermines the vacation experience. The pool chairs were extremely uncomfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the resort was dreary and uninspired. Everything was beige and generic, with the feel of a Midwest airport hotel rather than a luxury Caribbean resort. The lobby bar was consistently filled with business travelers wearing name badges, which made the entire property feel more like a convention hotel than a relaxing getaway. The food was poor, with very limited options. Many of the plants around the resort were dead, which only added to the depressing atmosphere. The staff was not warm, friendly, or accommodating, and there was little to no effort made to create a welcoming or elevated guest experience. The location also felt isolating. It is in the middle of nowhere, with very few nearby options unless you are willing to drive a significant distance. There was virtually no entertainment and no meaningful activities to speak of just a lone saxophonist in the lobby, which only emphasized how empty and lifeless the place felt. To make matters worse, the hotel was uncomfortably cold throughout, and nothing about the experience felt luxurious, relaxing, or vacation-like. Given the $ - STAY ELSEWHERE!!"

"A little older property but very clean, conveniently located on a beach, next to strip of restaurants, bars, supermarket. Nice kitchenette with full-size fridge. Pool area very small but beach is very nice. "

"Everyone was nice. Loved our stay. The oceanview 2 bedroom 2 bath accommodation we had for a family of 4 was great. The ocean view in the living room and the balcony were really beautiful. Although weather was windy and the beach water is a bit cold when you first go in, the water is so calm and clear, no waves as they are coves. The pool is heated. Excellent place to stay near the airport. It has a lot of restaurants around but we had breakfasts in the Cabana Bar and Grill twice. "

"Great location and friendly staff! It was our second time there and we loved it!"

"The staff, food, location were excellent. The room had a wonderful view and was very comfortable. The area under the sink and around the toilet could use a good scrubbing. All other areas were very clean. We enjoyed our vacation at the HOLLAND HOUSE and we are looking forward to a return vacation."
