Spent a week in Sint Maarten with my son. Had comfortable beds, clean towels daily, and the employees were very nice. Down stairs in the bakery they made tasty breakfast sandwiches and fresh pastries. Great place to stay if you are going to be out and about most of the time a d exploring the island.

The hotel was obviously falsely rated, and has discovered the way to scam a rating. Hotels.com is not policing. It’s raining system.
