The A/C did not work properly, and the room smelled of cat urine. We needed to go to the local supermarket to buy air freshener and candles as the smell was so unbearable it caused me a headed. There were cats all around the property.

Hello Anthony . It’s so sad that you didn’t reach us out to mentioned that the AC was not working, we could have fixed it easily and quickly . For the cats too , we have cats as being on an island cats allow us to avoid other little animals that are more frightening for people from coming from outside . We could have send over the cleaning team . Lake of communication is not the solution.

Good Area for St. Martin Beach and Dining Options

Posted 9 Jan 2022 on Hotels
Nicely designed unit with a great view and overall facility and provided assets. Owner/manager responsive quickly to needs. (Note that there are many steps to access the rental and within it -- not a problem in general for us but likely not a good rental for any not so able guests. Inside is a descent to toilet and ascent to it from kitchen and living areas. Ascent and descent also to pool and parking -- the latter a concern with baggage and groceries.) AC only in bedroom -- also not a concern for us but that situation needs to be noted. One issue that also is a concern: the description indicated "satellite TV" which is NOT the case. There is access for subscribers to assorted TV services via a modest and fairly slow internet connection (free wifi is provided) but that is not "satellite TV" and is not a service or services everyone has subscribed to. Again, this quite simply is a communication that needs to be in the description for the property. We liked the location very much and found the unit and general property charming.

Quaint little 2 level one bedroom unit. The bathroom is upstairs and the bedroom downstairs, waking up in the middle of the night to urinate involves navigating the rather narrow staircase. The bed was comfy enough and the unit was clean. The kitchen is accessible from the porch but not within the unit. The unit should be more at a $70 per night range imho.

Good evening M Johnemus Thank you for your comment. You paid actually 75$ a night. But yes, as mentionned on our website we are on a hill so strairs are part of our daily routine. There are actually only 5 steps to reach the level of the restroom and the bath room. The kitchen is on the private terrasse of the unit, its made so you have the sunrise when you wake up and no smell when you cook. it is thrue that our appartment has a europpean style, we are really sad that you did not appreciate it. that unit please a lot of our customers normally.

I love how the unit was very high up within the complex and right next to the swimming pool. The property manager was attentive to our needs. The unit was quite and spacious. The unit was a unique place to stay which immersed tenants into the culture.

For a low cost hotel, this is top notch! The staff is super sweet and they are very eco-friendly. You will feel the island and feel the people and their warmth toward you. It is welcoming and the rooms are very spacious.

Home Away From Home

Posted 31 Aug 2017
Pros: It had everything I needed to prepare ALL my meals which is what i look for plus a pool that is open all night to cool off and relax .
Cons: A fan in the bathroom area .
Location: You can go to the beach not to far if you don't mind walking about 20-25 there you can hop on a boat that will take you on tours restaurant close by
This hotel and stafl are really nice there is a nice pool to cool off in anytime of the day or night and you really don't have to walk very far to catch the local bus you have nice views don't matter which apt you get step outside across the street and be careful while taking great pictures of Iguanas .Sit outside enjoy dinner , drink coffee or sip on a glass of anything and watch the sunset . If your knees are bad or an older couple I would call the hotel and check to see if the lower apts are available i had one and was very grateful .as there are many many steps to the higher level .

Great stay! Thank you!

Helpful staff/owners. Close to the beach and close to Grand Case for restaurants. The staff was so welcoming and guided us on what to do in the area. Well appointed rooms along with a nice pool also. After many visits to a number of hotels and resorts on SXM, this place covered all the bases and I can't wait to return. Thank you!
