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 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.
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!
Beautiful location and sea view.
Apartments are well equipped, modern clean and spacious. Infinity pool is nice to cool down.
Liz and her team are doing a great job to keep everybody satisfied.
It is in a remote area so I recommend a rental car. Traffic at the Island during the day is quit busy however you can reach al the nice beaches within 30 min. And Marigot/Philipsburg and Simpson bay within 15 min. Nice restaurant (Indigo bay) at 2 min drive or 10 min walk.
Excellent hotel with excellent location located at the city center,extremely clean & comfortable . Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the friendly reception staff, they made my trip more interesting with their advices & tips about the city ,supermarket ,shops,restaurants bars are within walking distance. Would definetely recommend this hotel to everybody andI'm definitely staying there again!
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 service at Alicia's Inn was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to help our travel to Saint Martin go smoothly. While it definitely is a budget option compared to many places in Saint Martin, the hotel is located centrally in downtown Philipsburg, is sparkling clean, and is minutes from a beautiful 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
The room was lovely and super clean. It had everything you could need and the staff is extremely nice. Barbara is the best host.
Super recommend Alicia’s Inn I think it’s the best offer in Philipsburg right in the centre and only 1min away from the beach
Thank you, both, for this amazing stay! The villa is great, having the sea as your backyard! Location is perfect, everything is clean and we had everything we could have dreamed of. A great stay and a great experience in St Maarten.
The place was very nice and well laid out . Owner Louis and wife made us feel like family. This place will definitely be my home away from home when travel to St Maarten
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.
Location in Philipsburg and the beach. the room had a full size coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator and a nice dining/work table. the interior was updated and roomy.
