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.

The receptionist, Joanne, was very welcoming and remarkably helpful in dealing with a lost luggage problem (by the airline). The rooms are spacious and well furnished with excellent facilities (bath and kitchenette).

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.
