    The small biting flies.

    Good breakfast with a lot of egg-possibilities. They washed our laundry for a small fee. One of the servants arranged a scooter for us. The location is perfect, snorkelspot directly on the other site of the (quiet road).

    Roadworks. Face lifting of Hotel whilst guests were there although wasn't that intrusive.

    Very laid back experience. Not much to do on the island but that's what we wanted. Very helpful staff who made the place.

    It felt like the hotel is overpriced given the lack of alternatives. The pool was not cleaned at all and essentially unusable. There was a general sense of poor maintenance with peeling floor paint, mould on the ceiling in the room, a missing shower shelf and a bathroom window that looked as though it hadn’t been maintained in years. There was also a lot of exposed pipe work and wires that you wouldn’t expect to see in a more expensive property. The tv was also very basic with only regular tv channels - again for the price of the room access to streaming services is expected

    Location is good beside the sea and not too far from the ferry terminal, while still being far enough away not to see it. The cats that hang around are cute, particularly one which had a tail like a squirrel and which we called Ginger. The room was clean and the staff generally were great. The nearby associated restaurant was great both for breakfast and dinner (note the rating score is for the accommodation and not the restaurant)

    Vast room was dark w/one tiny window and gray with little decor Pool area under construction No 24/7 reception staff Food is quite expensive ANYWHERE on Statia as it all has to be brought in.

    Clean quiet spacious room. Great huge bathroom - lots of hot water in large shower. Big comfy bed Lovely bar/terrace area on the water with dining area for sunset dinners, with good service and good food. Other Dinner options nearby. Short steep hike up to the fort and town for siteseeing and lunch. Helpful staff Variety of room options so study them carefully and ask questions. Quick taxi connections to ferry and airport. I can't imagine staying anywhere else on Statia.

    Some of the bathroom fixtures need to be replaced. The toilet bowl and the faucet of the face basin were visibly old. For modern users I would recommend that the hotel adds more outlets. Light fixtures with built in outlets or USB charging ports on the nightstands would help.

    Friendly staff, check in was a breeze. The shower was nice. Good water pressure! The bed was good and the room is spacious. Wifi signal and speed were good enough to do work on your laptop or phone. Didn't use the coffee machine, but was nice to have the option available. Complimentary bottled water in the room was also appreciated. Didn't use the mini fridge, but it was working just fine. TV is a good size. I didn't eat at the restaurant, but I have eaten there during previous trips to Statia and their food is good. Pricing was not bad for an ocean view boutique hotel room with breakfast included ($195 a night).

    Would have preferred healthier choices in food also. Room (apartment) was good, but no shelves in closets to put your things on. Shower not draining well. Look of the apartment could have been more attractive, was somewhat Spartan.

    Good food. Rich and lots of it. Setting is beautiful and historic. We stayed in quarantine and given the limitations that entails, we were taken good care of.

    The property is under new ownership and they seem to working hard to improve the condition of the hotel which is in desperate need of renovations: For example, the pool was dirty - and when there aren't any beaches, you do want a pool - and the ceiling of the bedroom was moldy. I'd give it some time and

    The location was perfect as we could walk from the port having arrived on the 20:15 ferry and didn't have a car. The hotel occupies a stunning spot overlooking the sea with sun loungers on a sandy area, comfortable couches to enjoy sundown and a good restaurant. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.
