I stayed here and it was really quiet and it's within walking distance of 4 different restaurants the closest being Chinese. It was a 3 minute walk. The staff more specifically the concierge was awesome and super nice. I had time before my flight and he allowed me to leave my suitcase in his office while I explored the area until it was my time to head to the airport and I had a taxi within 10 minutes.

It was perfect for our stay for the night before leaving on the cruise. I'm not sure it would work for a longer stay, as it is quite a distance from other areas we wished to visit on St. Maarten.
