Break...slow!

Was pleasantly surprised. Our cottage was very cute, the bed was super comfortable and our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Tom makes the most delicious scrambled eggs for breakfast. Not too far from town but initially it was a little difficult to find. I would definitely stay here again the next time I am in St Maarten.

Good backpacker hostel

It's a really good backpacker hostel. Good and personal service, they will help you with everything. 30-40 minutes walk to Phillipsburg. Phillipsburg to Vickys keys is up hill. Ask them for pick up service from the airport in advance.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The owners are really nice and helpful. The room was very simple and clean. There is a sense of security with having the lockers in the room. It’s definitely worth staying there for the price. The only issue is that it was difficult to get to as my taxi driver did not know where it was located. Also, the surrounding of the hostel aren’t great either and you need to travel a bit to get to a beach. Having a rental car is reccomended.

Chambre de 7m2 à 66 dollars. Une seule lampe avec laquelle il était impossible de lire une carte. Endroit très negligé, finitions ni fait ni à faire aucune indication même sur place. Le pire que j'ai vécu.

Amazing people

We drove by the actual site twice, because we really didn't expect to find it in the area we were in. The island has been so devastated by the recent storms, it was difficult to tell which places were habitable. But the people were absolutely so welcoming, so kind, and so gracious, it was a once in a lifetime experience that I'm so grateful for! The room is so comfortable, the breakfast was so perfect, I wish we could have stayed longer. If you are looking for a resort, this is not it. But if you want to stay with the local people, and escape the resorts (which are pretty much shuttered), this is a wonderful place. They will always be in my heart!
