Amazing Property!!!!!

Reviewed By FarAway681505

I visited for my Birthday in May and I was very impressed with everything!! The check- in process, the staff, my suite was a 1.bedroom on the Oceans side and it was beautiful. The property was maintained very well and I would see the staff working hard to do so daily!! I must say my stay was extra special because of the manager Tina!!! She was spectacular and so resourceful. Tina is genuinely friendly and caring and always made sure my party and I were always happy. I recommend this hotel for sure. I will be back this year!!!

Phenomenal team treated us like family; excellent food; nice rooms with full ocean view; suboptimal beach

Reviewed By crosvs

This was our first trip in 2+ years; our first with our new baby; and my wife's birthday celebration, too. Unfortunately, due to a room mixup at La Playa Orient Bay (review forthcoming pending a dispute), we had to change hotels after our first night, and Naomi and the rest of the front desk staff literally saved our vacation by getting us into a spectacular full ocean view room on Day 2 of our vacation. So first things first, a *HUGE* shout out to Anissa, Davia, Latoya, John, Kelly, and Mathilda! You guys totally treated us like family; and we miss you all. Thank you for your kindness, your sincerity, your helpfulness. Our little one says hi! :) As for the hotel itself: - Vibe: 5/5. Very modern/chill Southern California vibe but without a crazy party ambience; the perfect balance of "cool" yet "relaxing" - Food: 5/5: By far the best food around SXM - Service: 5/5. Everyone from the front desk, restaurants, beach bar, and even the room cleaning team, is second to none (though room service is not provided). - Comfort/quiet: 5/5. Exceptionally quiet and comfortable rooms. The upgraded rooms are awesomely modern, but the non-upgraded rooms actually offer a few benefits like a ceiling-mounted fan so you can turn off the AC at night and leave the window open to hear the waves outside. (We experienced both rooms due to limited availability necessitating a room change.) - Beach: 3/5. It's calm and pretty, so good for families with babies in the sense that it's not rough waters; unfortunately however, the sand is full of debris including broken glass that made for an unpleasant feel. Also, frequent cruise ship passengers spike the beach crowd from several 10s of people to several 100s (or more). Fortunately, Divi Beach is just a 5-10 minute tax ride away and is one of the finest beaches on the island with no crowds, great casual food, and beach chairs/umbrellas and cabanas available ($15-$30). A huge thank you again to the entire team at Holland House. You guys rock. We'll miss you! *hugs*

Location, character, and friendliness

Reviewed By Susan D

This hotel got amazing reviews, so I figured I couldn't go wrong. It does have a fabulous location - right on a gorgeous beach that doesn't get crowded, with a couple of beach bars up the beach that are just far enough that the people and noise don't interfere with relaxing on the hotel's beach, lots of good restaurants nearby (we drove but you could walk). The place was very clean and the staff were attentive, pleasant, and thorough. The owner was a super-friendly nice guy living on the premises with his family. They even have a turtle habitat in the beautiful little courtyard garden! And one of their cats adopted us and even stayed the night. I happened to walk through one of the resorts down the bay and felt it was sterile and impersonal by comparison. However, this is a 3 star hotel. It is not fancy. It meets your needs and the owner and staff are happy to help you with anything you need. And the majority of the rooms do not look out on the beach: only 2 have a beach view. That was disappointing for me, but fortunately the beach was so wonderful and easy to get to, and there's wifi on the beach, so it was easy to just go sit under an umbrella and still get a little work done if I needed to.

Great location and great service

Reviewed By K9103ZDroberte

We initially booked for one night prior to joining a cruise out of Philipsburg but enjoyed it so much that we booked in again for the two additional nights on the island post the cruise. The location couldn't be better for enjoying the lovely beach or for exploring Philipsburg. The rooms that we had (we were travelling as two couples) were perfect for what we required and were priced accordingly. The team on the front desk were extremely helpful and couldn't do enough for us. When trying to find the best way to get our Covid tests on a Sunday (all closed until Monday), prior to flying via Miami to the UK, they contacted a local clinic who came into the hotel to undertake the testing. That's what I call service. An unexpected surprise that made the extra days in St Maarten, a holiday in their own right.

Great Location, beach access and walking distance to AUC, friendly staff, clean rooms

Reviewed By N2830CZsandraf

The common areas are in need of repair from the last hurricane. Only one working pool, but it is clean. The main lobby is well maintained and the rooms are nice, clean and comfortable. Easy access to the beach down the hotel steps. The beach is very private, not many people. Walking distance to many restaurants and AUC. The pool bar has bar food, but nothing fancy. The bar tender could not offer a single cocktail which was disappointing. There is a grocery store a short walk up the street where you can buy beer and wine and other snack items. We stocked up on water for our fridge in our room. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. During the day there is a lot of construction noise due to all the rebuilding going on from the hurricane, but this did not continue into the night so was not disruptive to sleep. I give it only 3 stars for value only because it is not currently worthy of the costs. They are working at getting it back into good condition.
