Spent a week in Sint Maarten with my son. Had comfortable beds, clean towels daily, and the employees were very nice. Down stairs in the bakery they made tasty breakfast sandwiches and fresh pastries. Great place to stay if you are going to be out and about most of the time a d exploring the island.

As written by others, this hotel has very clean rooms, a friendly, helpful staff and a good included breakfast from the baker downstairs. Do take notice that there are two flights of stairs up to the reception. A good, no-thrill choice for a quick overnight close to the airport.

Easy to find, it's a bit of a climb up the stairs but nothing too crazy. The receptionist I met was very friendly and helpful to point me to a restaurant nearby. The room was clean and comfortable and I slept well.. all good from my perspective!
