Not a comfy stay.

Nice view of the runway and Maho beach but that’s it. Room and furnishings were dated and the bed was awful. Cheap itchy sheets and beddings. No coffee, tea, or water. There was a convenience store nearby. Would not rate this 4 star.

Misleading post for frequent visitor

I have gone to st maarten for seventeen years and stay in airbnbs. I was staying here my last night because my boyfriend has never been and I wanted him to be able to see the planes land at tne facility thinking this was the royal islander on the beach. When I got there I was informed this was the royal islander across the street and we weren’t alllwed to use the facilities of the one I thought I booked. I had another friend who stays at the royal islander yearly and he did the same thing for an additional two nights thinking he was booking on the beach. There needs to be clarification. It’s not clear and the people across the street were rude, yelled at us while we were eating in the restairabt. The room was so loud I was awake all night and they wouldn’t give a late checkout even though my boyfriend had food poisoning and needed a place while our flight got delayed to rest past ten AM. I will NEVER stay here again!

Stayed 10 nights. No room service on 4 of the first 7 nights. Surprisingly, room service provided on Dec 25th & 26th. During the 10 days and nights, only managed to have a hot shower on 2 occasions. Other times water only lukewarm. Floors in apartment were not clean which another U.K. resident was also unhappy about. Microwave over interior filthy. Checkout was at 10:00. Negotiated 11:00. Totally inadequate to spend rest of the day in 30°c without ability to clean up before 17:20 flight home. Needed to keep prescription medicines cool too. You mentioned provision of car parking - but not the U.S.$8 daily fee.

After reading some of the reviews, I was hesitant to stay here. However, I am now ashamed that I ever felt that way. We both loved this place. Clean, large rooms, large balcony facing the runway and ocean, large shower with amazing water pressure, beautifully landscaped pool area, friendly staff, handy kitchenette in room. And so convenient to airport, restaurants, grocery store, public transportation. We couldn't have asked for more. For that price, I can totally overlook things being a little 'dated' (a term frequently used in the reviews). I've frequently stayed at a much more expensive hotel nearby and feel it did not provide as much as the Royal Islander La Terrasse. We both were very impressed and will definitely stay there again.

Far from what I had hoped for.

For the sake of clarity and fairness this was a one night stay. The is no 24 hour reception. You are presented with a beach towel on arrival that there is a $30 charge for if not returned, although I wasn't told I had to bring it with me at check out when I checked in. (I thought this sort of thing went out in 1980's), The air conditioning unit dripped the whole night all over the floor and took one beach towel and two bath towels to soak up. (Presumably this is why I was presented with a beach towel at reception in the first place?) The wifi didn't work. I was warned this was a possibility due to not wishing to provide an email address on arrival. However, this wasn't noted as the reason for it not working on the login page when I tried to log in . Only that the room or surname information was incorrect so who knows? I couldn't find out as the reception had closed by the time I tried to log in. Hair in the sink and the bathroom sink plug didn't work and was permanently closed. When reporting the above at check out their main concern was where my beach towel was (it was still dripping in my room as I'd used it to soak up the water from the AC) which I think pretty much sums up the stay and the focus of their concerns. As long as they bring the beach towel back all must be well in the world. All in all not a particularly guest service focused experience, in my opinion, and one I won't ever be repeating at this property.
