    On departure the elevators were slow while people loaded up their luggage. Wish elevators would have been bigger.

    Breakfast was excellent and the location is perfect for hopping on a cruise ship! The hospitality was the best and they allowed us to leave our luggage waiting to get on the ship and when we got off the ship and stopped by to have lunch! Concierge and reception were terrific! So appreciated!

    The hotel is perfectly situated in the middle of Phillipsburg on Front Street, and the beach is immediately in the back of the hotel. The staff was professional, friendly, and responsive. During our stay, we asked for additional blankets, which were brought up to our room while we were on the beach. We also arranged to rent a car for the day, and the hotel staff made all of the arrangements; the car was delivered to the hotel and then picked up from the hotel once we were done. The beach staff are very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed having snacks and drinks beachside. The hotel restaurant is very good. We included breakfast with our stay, and I highly recommend doing that, as we looked forward to the breakfast each day. We also had lunch and dinner at the hotel restaurant, and they were excellent. During our stay, we ate out at various restaurants in and around Phillipsburg, and the hotel restaurant was the best quality.

    We were in St Maarten to begin a cruise. The location of the hotel ended up being great for a bit of shopping and people watching. We arrived on Good Friday to discover everything closed for the holiday, but, the next morning, everything was bustling! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will book there again next year when we cruise again! Hotel restaurant was very good for dinner. Had breakfast the next morning at the French Market which is a short walk from the hotel. Great croissants!

    I have no complaints. If you are looking for nightlife, you will probably be happier in a big resort.

    This hotel is located right in the middle of the shopping area of Philipsburg just across the boardwalk from a beautiful beach on a bay with very calm turquoise water. The area is lively during the day but very quiet at night after the cruise ships leave. The downside of that is many restaurants are closed for dinner. The rooms are large and comfortable with spacious balconies. The restaurant has very good food. I really commend the staff who are excellent in every area, friendly and efficient. This is a great day for a relaxing vacation.

    Some loud music playing at night on street side. Everything closes up at night.

    The location is the best, on the beach, great views and in the middle of shopping district. You can walk to the cruise port.

Easy access to beach. Ate dinner three nights in hotel dining room and all three were excellent. No need to go anyplace else.

    Our dinner reservation, made four months prior, and confirmed by the property via email the week before we left for our holiday, got "lost." Despite repeated requests upon our arrival at the hotel, staff refused to confirm the reservation, until I finally indicated my displeasure to the manager, about an hour before dinner. In the end, we did enjoy a wonderful dinner, at the table of our choice.

    It was wonderful to be served a hot breakfast, instead of the usual buffet. The food was very good, and the servers friendly and helpful. The beds are very comfortable.

    When the cruise ships leave for the day, most everything nearby closes up so there are limited choices for dinner. If you are more into a nightlife, stay in much pricier Simpson Bay.

    Beautiful hotel right on the beach. Everyone who works there was friendly and helpful. When we asked for an extra blanket, they brought one that had been heated up in the dryer! The $2 public bus is one street over and we took it to Marigo and Maho Beach. Good food in the restaurant.

    The balcony for our room was extremely small on the Front St side but I still used it.

    We included breakfast and it was well worth the cost. The food was delicious and the view was fantastic! The room was very comfortable. The ac was great. The bathroom was large. The room was extremely clean.

    Be mindful that food can take some time to be prepared - if you have a ferry allow plenty of time for breakfast.

    Location and room were excellent. View of Philipsburg was stunning - fantastic to have a balcony to read/relax on. Clean and good shower facilities which is handy with the beach and beach chairs. Nice cocktails.

    Nothing, no problems at all. If we again visit Sint Maarten we'll stay at the Holland House.

    This was our second stay at the Holland House. For us it's a little expensive but worth it in every way: clean, comfortable, excellent restaurant and bar, good location.

    Rooms could use some upgrading. Coffee maker so high up in cupboard, couldn’t see properly to operate. Had to use in the bathroom. In hindsight, it should have been set up by the phone

    Location, right on the beach, beautiful restaurant/bar. Nicer beach lounge chairs. Comfy bed

    Definitely the place to stay if staying in Philpsburg, great location, great atmosphere, great staff. Also would highly recommend getting one of the ocean view rooms if available. The restaurant is also great, probably the best food in Philipsburg as well. Would definitely stay here again if visiting this part of the island.
