"Great location near restaurants, shops, the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we had everything we needed for a quick one-night stay en route to Guadeloupe. "

"Perfect location, friendly staff. The restaurant is delicious. Clean beaches with beautiful water. All restaurants are a quick 5 minute drive. Will always stay here when I come to back"

"Absolutely gorgeous view. Privacy was very limited due to the popularity of the beach club and the loungers right outside our window, however I was ok with it given the gorgeous view and the large windows. The neighbouring restaurant had loud club music late at night that I could hear, and was required to put AirPods in to drown out the noise. Perhaps ear plugs would be nice as an amenity. There wasn’t a coffee machine in the room (I didn’t realize only specific rooms offered a machine) so I had to wait for the restaurant to open and go get a cup each morning. I found the staff weren’t very warm. I was almost embarrassed feeling overly polite as I tried to get a little bit of warmth and friendliness from the staff. I almost felt like my general presence bothered them which didn’t make my stay very comfortable"

"Good "

"Bathroom needed better cleaning, bed sheeting had prior stains on them."

"Staff is very nice and beach is perhaps the best or one of the best in SXM. Inconsistencies with how staff can / cannot bill lunch to your room. Reception says yes. Some restaurant staff say yes. Some say no, you need a card or cash. Why? They can’t, for some reason, or don’t want to include tips when charging to the room. But, beach boys have no problem with this. Something they need to fix. Grounds in desperate need of basic TLC… dingy concrete that needs power washing. Lawn hasn’t been trimmed in weeks or months. Rooms are clean, but cracks in tile, mirrors abound. Staff is very friendly but don’t think of them as concierge level for dinner reservations. I could book a resort restaurant dinner online what they told me what full. No gym at all. Nice sized spa that was completely closed and they didn’t know when or why is was or wasn’t open. Parking gate is tricky and takes ages to open. Need to ask for coffee maker, then they gladly provide Nespresso w pods. Room cleaning is spotty. Some areas cleaned, straightened, some not. Very odd. No locking the patio sliders. Didn’t work. If you want a clean room with decent lunch spot where you can walk to a gorgeous, uncrowded beach, then this is it. Just don’t expect top service or amenities."

"The breakfast was the same each day. Scrambled eggs and bacon with some fresh fruit"

"We had such a wonderful stay at The Forest with our baby Soleil on her very first trip to St. Maarten 🌿✨ The Forest is a beautiful boutique hotel, tucked away in the mountains on the quieter side of the island—perfect if you’re looking for peace and relaxation. Our room was comfortable and very spacious (honestly, more space than we needed since we love being out and exploring!), but it made our stay feel extra luxurious. One of our favourite parts was the private outdoor area. We spent time just sitting outside, enjoying the cool tradewinds and soaking in the hot tub—such a peaceful vibe. The food was also a highlight. Breakfast was always filling and delicious, and everything we had was well prepared and satisfying. Our host was incredibly pleasant and accommodating, and the staff were all so warm and friendly, which made the experience even better. We rented a vehicle, so getting around the island was easy despite being nestled in the hills. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and made such special memories for Soleil’s first trip. We would definitely return and highly recommend The Forest to anyone visiting St. Maarten 💚"

"The one lady who checked in was really nice but the other manager/owner? Was the rudest, most angry, unprofessional person I've ever seen in the hospitality industry. We honestly were made very uncomfortable and booked another hotel around the corner. While the villa is nice it's really a gilded mansion with very minimal if not gauche interior design, just an afterthought. Felt very soulless. "
