We've travelled to many Caribbean islands over the last 30 years but none we like better than St. Martin. Dominica is adventurous but rustic, Puerto Plata is organized but loud, St Lucia is laid back and picturesque while Costa Rica is both lush and exciting...but we keep coming back to St. Martin. With 37 beautiful palm tree fringed beaches, too... More

I just want to say that my fiance and my parents travelled here last month and I too was hesitant to go with all the negative comments online that are posted. However, I must say that I was very impressed with the place. I was expecting a dump. It was very clean and spacious and I loved it. It has... More

If you are interested in a quiet vacation, fantastic sun rises, the sound of the waves hiding the coral rock, not fighting the crowds for a lounge chair at the pool, then Sint Maartin’s Guana Bay Beach Villas should be added to your list of want to visit destination. You will need a car so that you can visit one... More

With all the reviews that I had been reading about St. Maarten re: safety, muggings, petty theft etc. I was dredding our trip to St. Maarten and also Guana Bay Resort. To my surprise and pleasantly so, we had a great trip, inspite of sleeping lightly the first night as we were sure there would be problems. We rented a... More

First of all the pictures on the website are very decieveing, taken from certain angles that do not relect the true picture of this place. While the veiw from our balcony was very nice everything else was dreadful. Roaming dogs, unkept landscaping, villas falling apart etc. We stayed in unit #7, while the inside was nice and charming, the toilet... More

We stayed in Guy Estates for one week in December of 2010. The rooms were modern and spotless, the caretakers were gracious and pleasant, and we enjoyed the view of the bay, the pool and the spotless beach. The room has a wireless connection and a full kitchen. Guana Bay is peaceful and relaxing and we are definitely returning to... More

On the third night at Guana Bay, at 4:00 AM, three men broke into our villa while we were sleeping. They took knives from our kitchen, entered the upstairs bedroom and demanded jewelry and money. A struggle ensued, lots of screaming and punching took place, and they fled with our valuables (including our car keys) and proceeded to steal our... More

The villas at Guana Bay are very remote and were built that way intentionally. They are in great shape and nicely furnished. Guests who stay there love it for the remoteness and the "home away from home" feeling. As far as security the whole island has issues with this and therefore we do have a security guard on duty all... More

This timeshare facility is overdue for a major facelift. We rented a two-bedroom unit directly from the owner but even off-season the cost was dear. That said, the unit was very spacious, the views from virtually all rooms (except perhaps the bathrooms!) were breath-taking and the pool, although small, was clean and neat. The stucco has begun to crack on... More

The service at the villas was good, the fellow in charge is Max and he was very helpful when we needed him. The villas are older and need a little bit more maintenance. The pathways between the villas are half dirt and half broken concrete. The bed was old and not comfortable but the maid always kept the place spotless.... More
