    The bed was quite squeaky and not super comfortable.

    Conveniently located next to Windwardside and the trailhead to Mt Scenery; very friendly staff; nice shower, nice views.

    They could add more plants in large pots to bring some warmth in these new buildings. And maybe also add a little bit of color on the walls.

    The hotel was 5 minutes away (by foot) from the restaurants and tourism office ( Winward side). The pool was without chlorine. The restaurant staff was very welcoming and the food was great. The room was comfortable.

    Nothing really, maybe the room could be a bit bigger.

    Requested taxi to take us to the hotel - costs $ 15 which is affordable, as it is not really possible to walk from the airport through the hilly and paveless terrain and roads. Staff was very nice, helping with the taxi and so friendly. Room view was fantastic (fortunately as per experiencing Saba island it is hard to not to have great view) also from the pool it was great. Windward village is close all the small restaurants, café, shops are can be reached on foot, Mount Scenery trail starts from close to the hotel as well.

    Since we stayed for almost 2 weeks, we rented a junior suite with a kitchenette to cook our meals. The kitchenette is very small, extremely basic, without a sink ( we had to rinse/wash dishes in the bathroom sink). Upon request, the manager kindly provided us with additional pots, pans, cutlery, plates, glasses and a pasta strainer. There is a table and 2 chairs on the small balcony to eat outdoors but when it rained/ was too windy, there was barely enough space in the room to take the tables and chairs indoors. But if you do not intend your cook your meals in the hotel, the room is perfect.

    The manager was friendly and very helpful. He went out of his way to accommodate us (see comment about the kitchenette). Great location (walking distance from center Windwardside) , low noise, nice view, pleasant pool.

    The bathroom facilities could be a bit newer.

    The staff was so helpful and nice, the pool was awesome and the breakfast was also really good. The hotel is located just one minute from the best and highest hike in Saba, it was within walking distance.

    There is a nice restaurant at the hotel but the prices are very high so we did not make use of the restaurant, preferring instead to drive into Windwardside where there is a great bakery (Bizzy B) and many restaurant options. I did make a request for an additional pillow that received no follow up.

    Amazing views from the balcony of this well appointed room. We enjoyed the pool and convenient location close to Windwardside. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

    The shower curtain is really loose and fell down. Restaurant isn't open for lunch or dinner.

    Loved the view, the friendly staff, room was OK, bit pricy perhaps. Fantastic shower. Clean, and nicest restaurant personnel for breakfast.

    very noisy traffic in the daytime but thankfully subsided at night. The room was small and very little space for our luggage. also very dark with one small window. We spent time on the balcony a lot. we were unable to borrow a couple wine glasses even though there was a bar at the property. The breakfast was good although a little pricey.

    Great view from our little balcony. very nice pool. very comfortable bed. easy walk to town and to the trailhead to Mt Scenery.

    Newer location with possible hot water issues.

    Hot water was inconsistent. The fancy shower showed accurate temperature, but unfortunately the temperature was not constantly hot. Sometimes it oscillated between 26 and 38 C in a continuous hot to cold to hot cycle. Sometimes it stayed at 38 C. And sometimes it never got hot. A broom would be a nice addition for hikers as the trails can be a bit muddy which adds dirt to the floor and it is hard to remove the dirt later that day.

    Close to trails. Dishes and silverware in the room with a large refrigerator, microwave, and toaster. friendly reception. Plenty of room. Fairly close to town. Newer buildings.

    Dark small rooms, without a lot of daylight. Only a heavy door is the access to the balcony and a nice view Furniture is dark, heavy and brown which doesn't give a good vibe.

    Location is ok, but you need a car to go anywhere easily. Walking by night to Windwardside is not recommended

    The restaurant - Liam's - was not open - we had specifically chosen the hotel so we could eat there that night. Instead we had to eat in the village and get a lift back to the hotel because the road is not really safe to walk on at night. We see that Liam's gets poor reviews but were hoping for something better.

    The receptionist did her best to arrange breakfast as we were leaving early and I thought breakfast was included in the price - it turned out it was not and was extremely expensive, so I declined. She was very helpful and I apologised for misunderstanding. Room was comfortable, clean and basic.
