    Breakfast was very good and included in price and consisted of good variety of menu options. Staff was also very pleasant and helpful. Location was perfect for access to 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.

    The hotel is right on the boardwalk and beach in the town of Philipsburg so the perfect location. Many cruise goers tried to access the restaurant in the morning when it’s reserved for guests of the hotel so that’s testament of how good it looks.

    Reception not very friendly and no flexibility on checking in early -first impressions make a huge difference and the negativity here really made us fear the worst whereas once had a room everything did improve

    Location was great on the boardwalk behind a great beach. Lovely big balcony overlooking the sea and great common parts -bar, indoor and outdoor communal seating

    Amazing Getaway!

    I would say the only negative was that even though the bill would have a place to fill in the tip goes the waiters would say they don’t get the tip we write on the bill. In order for them to get the tip we have to give it to them in cash. It was consistently mentioned throughout the stay. So I was a little confused. There is also a service charge for everything you purchase that is automatically included. But other than that… great stay.

    The location was ideal. Very central to bars, restaurants and shopping. Great beach. I would definitely come back and stay here. The mango sangria is amazing! Breakfast was included and very fresh and delicious!

    We were traveling with another couple and they joined us for breakfast. They joined us for breakfast and were charged $30pp for a very small breakfast.

    We stayed in the hotel the night before our cruise. The room was perfect- quiet, great shower, and clean. We sat at the hotel bar after dinner and had a drink and listened to live music- was a great experience. Right on the boardwalk and close to the cruise pier.

    Perfect location with a lovely view . Very comfortable. Great lobby bar and beach front restaurant and outside space to relax. The breakfast was included and was delicious..many items to choose from. 2 beach loungers and umbrella were included . Close to many shops and restaurants plus very close to Port where we boarded our Windstar Cruise. Highly recommend this hotel.

    the terrible loud music on the ground floor, especially the female singer wailing loudly during breakfast. I know some people like that, but your clients are mostly older. Why not softer music from the 60s and 70s, or even Mozart. That would set you apart from the vulgar bars on either side of you. Why proliferate the same crap music they play?

    fine food and very friendly service, both at dinner and breakfast it was quick as well
