We had a great time staying at Carls Unique Inn. The breakfast sandwiches and pastries were delicious, and the staff was extremely helpful. Despite our flights being cancelled and rebooked 4 days later, they accommodated us to extend our stay.

Rooms were very clean. Breakfast was outstanding!!! We had a car rental so the location wasn’t an issue however if you don’t have a car it wouldn’t be as convenient. Would highly recommend if your plan is to travel the island all week like we did. Great stay, clean and delicious breakfasts

Spent a week in Sint Maarten with my son. Had comfortable beds, clean towels daily, and the employees were very nice. Down stairs in the bakery they made tasty breakfast sandwiches and fresh pastries. Great place to stay if you are going to be out and about most of the time a d exploring the island.

As written by others, this hotel has very clean rooms, a friendly, helpful staff and a good included breakfast from the baker downstairs. Do take notice that there are two flights of stairs up to the reception. A good, no-thrill choice for a quick overnight close to the airport.

Easy to find, it's a bit of a climb up the stairs but nothing too crazy. The receptionist I met was very friendly and helpful to point me to a restaurant nearby. The room was clean and comfortable and I slept well.. all good from my perspective!

Carl’s Unique Inn is perfectly located for our business trips to St. Maarten, right in the heart of Cole Bay, where many of our suppliers are based. The staff has always been exceptionally helpful; from management to housekeeping, everyone has gone out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The hotel offers all the essential amenities, including a great cup of coffee, a convenient in-room refrigerator, and a good TV with satellite channels. Breakfast is included in the already very reasonable room rate and can be ordered from the adjacent bakery. Guests can either take it to go or enjoy it at the bakery’s seating area. While simple, it is a convenient and appreciated addition that provides a good start to the day. For business travelers looking for a comfortable, affordable, and conveniently located place to stay, Carl’s Unique Inn is an excellent choice.
