This is a very basic max 3 star resort and property. Thankfully only stayed one night or we would have had to change hotels. The mattress was horribly thin, hard and creaky; thin/cheap linens and blanket. Very basic amenities. Staff are not representative of the 'friendly island' moniker, though with some convincing they improved their customer service. This has always been the case as I used to own a unit across the street in the main property. The upside was the updates to La Tortuga restaurant at the Royal Islander (main property). For $300-$400/night this is waaayyy overpriced. Would rather pay more elsewhere.

Beautiful pool with the best view of the airport runway to be able to video landings and takeoff. The view is also of Maho beach and you can easily walk to it The furnishings are a little dated, but the cleanliness was top. There are restaurants within walking distance or you can use a well equipped kitchen.

I will not be returning!

Young man who checked me in at the front desk was exceptional. Extremely professional, courteous and handled all issues with management style. I can’t praise him enough. Power went out in my room minutes after check-in. The electrician showed up in minutes (due to front desk prompt response) and resolved the issue. He is very skilled and wonderful as well. The night staff at the front desk ( she didn’t give me her name) was the worst! Very unprofessional, rude and did not respond an issue I had with a neighbor who had their TV up so loud I couldn’t hear mine or relax to have a quiet evening. The screen to the sliding door was bent and would not stay on track. The only good thing about the is hotel is the location. Yes, there is noise from incoming flights, but that didn’t bother me unlike the blaring TV volume past midnight. Flights eventually stop in the evening. The furniture int the suite wasn’t clear and run down. I wouldn’t sit on the sofa at all. Kitchen not stocked very well. I would not recommend this hotel, but their other one across the street was nicer. This location is not worth the money spent. I will not return unfortunately. The French side is better in my opinion.

Front reception was very friendly and accommodating. They had a special room where we could keep our luggage after checking out. Our flight wasn’t until much later in the day and the staff got us a taxi when we needed to depart. Good recommendation was given for breakfast. I loved the viewing platform to watch the planes. Nice pool area.

Not a comfy stay.

Nice view of the runway and Maho beach but that’s it. Room and furnishings were dated and the bed was awful. Cheap itchy sheets and beddings. No coffee, tea, or water. There was a convenience store nearby. Would not rate this 4 star.

Misleading post for frequent visitor

I have gone to st maarten for seventeen years and stay in airbnbs. I was staying here my last night because my boyfriend has never been and I wanted him to be able to see the planes land at tne facility thinking this was the royal islander on the beach. When I got there I was informed this was the royal islander across the street and we weren’t alllwed to use the facilities of the one I thought I booked. I had another friend who stays at the royal islander yearly and he did the same thing for an additional two nights thinking he was booking on the beach. There needs to be clarification. It’s not clear and the people across the street were rude, yelled at us while we were eating in the restairabt. The room was so loud I was awake all night and they wouldn’t give a late checkout even though my boyfriend had food poisoning and needed a place while our flight got delayed to rest past ten AM. I will NEVER stay here again!

We spent our last night at hotel as close to airport. We had no idea how nice everything would be. We were able to check in early! The pool is stunning , the view of the sea breathtaking, and overlooking air strip priceless. Enjoyed having the poolside bar and beautiful hot tub. We could walk to dinner and breakfast. Taxi right outside the door and a 5 minute drive if that. Everyone was very friendly. Well Appointed living space with great views from the balcony. Bathroom modern. Bedroom and bed a little dated but fine for a night , Everything else out did the bedroom. It was a fantastic last day/night

Stayed 10 nights. No room service on 4 of the first 7 nights. Surprisingly, room service provided on Dec 25th & 26th. During the 10 days and nights, only managed to have a hot shower on 2 occasions. Other times water only lukewarm. Floors in apartment were not clean which another U.K. resident was also unhappy about. Microwave over interior filthy. Checkout was at 10:00. Negotiated 11:00. Totally inadequate to spend rest of the day in 30°c without ability to clean up before 17:20 flight home. Needed to keep prescription medicines cool too. You mentioned provision of car parking - but not the U.S.$8 daily fee.
