Inexpensive but a lovely resort.
An unusual property set among retail and factory buildings, but a quiet area especially at night with enthusiastic staff.
A short 10 minutes' walk away from the main road between Simpson Bay and Philipsburg.
Excellent breakfast given included in the price.

Was very clean in my room. I stayed in two different rooms. The one over the bakery was very loud as it was on the street. The other was close to the courtyard and much quieter. A few no seeim bugs and trouble with the tv. I wish they had a recycle bin as they give you two free bottles of water.

It was perfect for our stay for the night before leaving on the cruise. I'm not sure it would work for a longer stay, as it is quite a distance from other areas we wished to visit on St. Maarten.
