the cleanliness of the room was commendable. The utilities in the room were of high standard and functioning exceptionally well. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the thumbs up for the coffee machine. For a short stay (like 1 or 2 nights) it is affordable and acceptable.

Lovely beachfront location. We had a lovely room which was made available earlier than the check in time at our request. On our return from our cruise, the hotel also allowed us to use the hotel as day guests without charge as we had a late flight.

Thank you for a fantastic stay at Villa FOXIE. This Villa is fabulous. We were warmly welcomed by the owner Rose Marie, who informed us of everything about the Villa to have a comfortable stay, and told us about all the activities and restaurants on the island. The villa which has two levels is very spacious, deliciously decorated Caribbean with a French touch. The foxie villa has two bedrooms upstairs, each with its own private bathroom
It has everything you need for an excellent stay, equipped kitchen, barbecue, parasol, beach chairs... All you have to do is open the living room door to find yourself on the beach. You cannot find a villa closer to the sea. The view from the sea side bedroom on the terrace is spectacular.
Villa Foxie is the most beautiful, most private villa in all of Great Bay. Only one regret, to leave this little paradise......😍

We found the entirety of our stay on the Dutch side of Sint Maarten wonderful. Taxis at the resort were readily available and reasonable. Be smart and pull up the cruise schedules and plan your trips outside the resort around lighter days. Definitely take a speedboat to Anguilla.

Philipsburg is a fun town with lots of restaurants and shops. Offcourse the boulevard too.
It is like Zandvoort aan zee but a lot warmer ;)
So yes it can be a bit crowdy when there are more than one CruiseShip there. Place for more cruiseships makes that a lot of tourist get ashore and that can be up to 5000 people pro cruiseship. Offcourse they do not all come to Philipsburg but it can get a little crowdy very tourist place to be.
Without the cruiseships Philipsburg still got her own caracter as a small town. On sunday catholic church you can hear people sing and pray.
You can join in entrance is at the backstreet of the boulevard.
You still see some damages made by Hurricanes but they are building and restoring and in 2025 they think they will be ready.
Nice people
Good place to be

lovely beach but have to pay for loungers/umbrellas unless staying at hotel with beach access.
many many shops with staff in street trying to get you to buy, aimed at cruise ship passengers, too much hassle for our liking. unable to walk and sightsee due to constant sales interruptions.
traffic congestion

The island is still recovering from previous hurricanes, it is very safe to move about on your own. The people are strong and hopeful. They are friendly, displaying kindly smiling faces. Local food is so good and easy to get. Shopping is limited mostly to beautiful jewelry, cigarettes, and alcohol at below US prices. Everyone speaks English. Lots of beautiful beaches and water activities to enjoy.

Philipsburg was awesome.
Philipsburg was awesome. If you're looking for a party nightlife, stop reading. Philipsburg is not for you. However, if you're looking for a nice relaxing vacation, then Philipsburg is your place. The Boardwalk is wonderful. You can rent a beach chair for a fee and drink minimum, which isn't so bad because you can lay, drink, and eat there all day. I went to St. Maarten for the SCUBA Diving, so I would dive in the morning and relax in the afternoon. However, please be aware that bars and restaurants close EARLY. Like most of them close at 5 or 6 because that's when the cruise ship tourists go back to the boat. There are a few bars and restaurants open later. The Chinese food places in town definitely stay open a lot later. Front Street offers shopping and the Yoda Guy Museum as well as the Guavaberry Emporium.
You also can take public transportation anywhere. Including to and from the airport for $2.00 US each way. The public transportation buses are simply minivans with signs in the bottom of the front windshield, that say, "MAHO" or "St. Peters," or "French Q" or "Ps'Burg" or wherever you are planning to go. The bus stop is literally a four minute walk from the airport and there's a sidewalk to the street that leads you right there. Otherwise, a taxi is $20.00 per person regardless of how many people are in the taxi.
I would recommend going to MAHO Beach and watch the planes. Grab some lunch from the Sunset Bar & Grill and then go to the beach and watch the planes. You can even stand behind an Air Bus and get blown away as it takes off. I know, it sounds maniacal, but it actually is fun. If you're keeping score at home, yes I did get behind an Air Bus as it took off, but did NOT get blown over or into the sea.
Five Stars for Philipsburg.

The town is still in the recovery mode from the 2017...
The town is still in the recovery mode from the 2017 Hurricanes. Most of the shops are re-opened for business, but the effects of the storms are still evident. It was disappointing to note the lower level of activity on the boardwalk after dark. Our favorite restaurant, IL' Escargot is still closed on front street, with no signs of renovation activity.
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.
Very spacious and clean! Loved the outdoor seating and 2 hammocks to enjoy the constant breeze. Very well equipped kitchen and comfy bed.
It was interesting to see the cruise ships at the port from our terrace. Location was good in that we walked to an excellent dinner at Chesterfields and the next morning walked to the port to catch the ferry to St Barths.
The host was very helpful with directions as our taxi driver had a little trouble finding the apartment.
Overall an excellent choice and great value for our brief stay in Philipsburg!
For us, the location of Alicia's Inn on Backstreet in Philipsburg was excellent. We could easily walk to restaurants and the large nearby lake for birding. It was also relatively easy for us to walk with our roller bags to board our ship. Our simply furnished room met all of our expectations and was quiet. The on-site reception staff were pleasant, very helpful, and provided special assistance when needed. Several other passengers on our trans-Atlantic voyage stayed at Alicia's Inn and said they would also stay again.
it’s in the city centre of Philipsburg. Busses come in front of the hotel and bring you everywhere. the beach is 3 minutes walking.
Stuff was very friendly even before we arrived to the island, they helped and give tips. they also celebrate my birthday willingly. if I ever go back to Sint Maarten that’s where I want to stay! thanks Barbara and Jeanine for for kindness ❤️
I very much enjoyed my stay at Calinago Friendly Family. Andre and his family made me feel very welcomed, especially as a solo traveler. I think it's great value for the price if you're looking to stay in Philipsburg. Cabs do cost a lot in SXM, but I found easy to catch the buses from this location once you got the hang of it. Great location, right on the beach.
A cute apartment with a deck facing the wild coast of the Caribbean. It is situated in a residential neighbourhood about 3km from the boardwalk in Philipsburg. A 3 km hiking trail to Guana bay is very close by. Edgar was easily accessible and made good suggestions.
I was warmly received by yhe family and was given good advice and help as I needed an ATM with intrnational access as most ATMs in St Maarten are only for St Maartens banks and the host showed me a good local restaurant where I could get a breakfast early
Average hotel with spacious rooms a bit dated but we had everything we needed. We were looking just for a place where to sleep and have shower. Everyday tidying, clean towels, very nice and helpfull staff, good equipment, good location...
The Location was beautiful! Right on the beach and in a quiet location but close enough to get to the attractions in St Maarten. It was great waking up to that view on a daily basis. I would definitely stay here again.
The rooms are new inside, and ours was clean and comfortable for a short stay. We had a problem with the aircon in our room, but they solved the problem quickly. The hotel is within walking distance of Phillipsburg.
Hotel room was on the beach, the beach itself, the swimming pools and Éline at réception who was so smiley and lovely and funny! Easter egg hunt. Beds were comfortable.
The villa is very luxurious and has a very nice view on Philipsburg.
I really recommend this villa as a nice place for quality time together with your love ones.
Since there is no food service at the hotel, the Manager offered us to take us out for breakfast in a local restaurant, this was well received and apprciated.
