Jeanina the manager and Renicia were fantastic hosts. They went out of their way to ensure you had a great stay. Customer service here at times even exceeded 3 & 4 star properties. Complimentary wifi that consistently worked hassle free. Stayed several days. A clean, bright, well maintained 2 1/2 Star+ property for value minded travelers. Would stay here again. Would recommend this boutique property to a friend.

Have been going to Sint Maarten for 7 years now. Stayed at a few places, next door at Divi twice. Last year, Divi changed exchange rules.Would not let us exchange.(3-5 yr rule?) We loved that area/the employees at Divi.Knew Belair was next door. I was very tentative about how our unit at Belair was going to compare. I can now tell you-I have already booked my exchange for this year back at Belair!! The fact that all unit are RIGHT ON THE BEACH is great. Even if you don't like being in the water,...

All the staff members were amazing, like Ms. Sandrine at the reception desk. Everybody was very helpful and patient with us. The hotel is new and clean, the beach is nice although it was rarely cleaned. We had an All-Inclusive package. The food was good, there were no lines, just some waiting time, as usual. The only part that we did not like was the entertainment. The music by the Gizmo's bar was very loud, it was not pleasant to eat there. The only outdated schedule for the entertainment was...

Seaview is in the middle of Philipsburg and walking distance to restaurants, stores and beach rentals. Three tours where they picked me up within walking distance of Seaview are listed below. I was by myself so they combined me with a group. 1)Bernard's island tour with beach $45 US. 2)Tiki Hut snorkeling park $51. 3)Coconut Reef surfing school, $69. 95% of the town closes as soon as the cruise ship leaves. No night life. No ship= empty town. The only thing open is McDonald's (10am-11pm...

Pauline & Jeremy!!! Fantastic warm welcome! You can tell that these owners absolutely love their guests. Too many details to mention from the private jacuzzi to concierge services provided by Pauline. Beautiful interiors, comfortable beds. Gated neighborhood 5 minutes on foot to Orient Bay beaches and restaurants. Good old fashioned bed and breakfast atmosphere. Oh!! The amazing, not-to-miss breakfast! Highly recommended.

My wife and I loved this place. It was smaller and quieter than your typical hotel or resort. The hosts provide a nice little breakfast each morning (croissants and baguettes with local jams, plus fresh fruit and juice). The pool is nice, as are the views. The property is a good location on the island, in my opinion. Easy drive to Anse Marcel on the northern tip (phenomenal beach up there). Also easy drive to Grand Case (best food ever) and Orient Beach (great scene in general). The hosts were...

This is the perfect place to have an ocean view room that is beautifully done. The hotel doesn’t offer a ton of amenities, but it’s in a great location on a beautiful beach. Come here to enjoy time with a partner, have access to beach restaurants and activities and rent a car to explore the island. Our concierge, Junior, was amazing and saved us by getting our passports to us after we had already arrived to the airport!

Everything about this Inn was excellent! The owners greet you with a smile. My stay started with happy hour in the veranda overlooking the pool. During my three night stay, happy hour was the place to connect, meet the other guests staying at this unique B&B, and make new friends. The breakfasts were simple, but filling with lots of choices for varied tastes, including delicious island marmalades. In fact, I went to the supermarket to bring home the guava one — so delicious. This is a place...
