We stayed 4 nights with Eddie at Olga's Fancy on either side of our charter boat cruise in early November 2022. We had two other couples with us and I must say we all loved it! The rooms are clean, bright and welcoming, the reception area is a tropical oasis of bright colors, cool breezes and the pool is a refreshing respite from the heat and humidity. Cool water is always available at the counter and fresh coffee is served every morning.
Eddie is a gem and always willing to call a taxi (he has a guy) share his knowledge of the island or offer dining and island attraction recmmendations. Be advised that the hotel is perched on a hill so there are a lot of stairs but the location also offers beautiful views of the harbor and Water Island.
Dining is a quick 10 minute walk over in Frenchtown. I highly recommend Taco Chelles and the French Quarter Bistro. The tacos are large and do yourself a favor and order a traditional Margarita from Rose; it's AMAZING! The Pork Chop entree at the Bistro is absolutely ENORMOUS! It's so juicy and tender it will easily feed two hungry adults. Frenchtown Deli is down the street but be prepared to wait quite a while for your order unless you call it in, they seem to prioritize phone orders over the folks who walk in. Petit Pump Room upstairs at the ferry terminal is another good option with their breakfasts. The Mahi Sanwich for lunch is divine! So juicy and full of flavor! Tell Maria, your server, that Tammy & Dave from Syracuse sent you! :-)
