According to what conditions you decide not to stay.Did you leave a complaint at the reception before checking out? The guest had 4 guests in the Junior Suite which is against the accommodation policy and safety regulations. Our Junior Suite with 2 Twin Beds accommodates up to 2 persons according to fire and safety policy but guest decided to overrule that, and sneak in 2 extra kids.

Very good manager. He took care of us like a good friend. When we couldn't find a taxi late in the night he even dropped by niece at the dome. Highly appreciated.

This property is a long way from town. The taxis are informal private people that you can use. The whole island doesn’t cater to travelers very well. The island might have 50 rooms total so not a lot to choose from.

The property is within 5-minute walk away from the main village on Saba. The hotel is not responsible for the Transporation sector neither room availability on the island. We hope that you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your feedback.

I selected this property because of how close it is to hiking trails. This is perfect if that’s why you’re visiting the island. It is also close to a supermarket and plenty of restaurants. I didn’t have any issues with wifi at all which seems to be complaints from previous guests. Overall I had a nice stay and the staff and owner were very nice and helpful!

The location was great! It is right next to the entry to Mt. Scenery and the quaint town of Winwardside. Our hotel room was super clean and had everything we needed. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great Hotel, close to main town for tourists purposes. Helpful staff! Because our ferry was in the evening, and we had a child, they allowed us a late check out, free of charge! Thanks a lot for that!

The kitchenette had no sink washing dishes in the bathroom sink proved difficult. You cannot use the balcony unless you turn the air conditioner off because the big air conditioner unit on the balconies blows hot air. The bathroom sink was plugged up the first day, but it was corrected promptly by removing the drain stopper apparently by using one of the kitchen knives, which was then left, bent and dirty On the bathroom sink.

Saba - A Must Go

Posted 11 Dec 2023 on Hotels

Travelling to Saba was on our "bucket list". We knew where it was but not much else. This is a small island and not a resort experience. If you like to hike then this is the place. Same with diving. Leave your expectations at home. We stayed at the Arawak Hotel for 4 nights in late October. We had a one bedroom with a partial kitchen. The location was great, the view fantastic, and the Hotel quaint. The Arawak is being upgraded constantly but supplies are hard to get on Saba, so be patient. The owner is doing a great job, helpful, and very pleasant. If you are missing anything in the kitchen or your room, just ask. Yes, it is a 2 star hotel but a 5 star experience. The main hiking trail is about 300metres for the Hotel. Getting to the top of the mountain in the cloud forest is well worth it. Take a picnic, you won't be disappointed. The nearest town is a 1km walk, and has 2 grocery stores, restaurants and bars. You can get to the Arawak by ferry or plane. The thrill of landing on the shortest commercial runway in the world is a must. Taking off is exceptional, especially when Hurricane Tammy was arriving the next day!!!! If you are going to Saint Maarten, then don't miss out on Saba.
