We were thrilled to get a room here and with all the glowing reviews in our heads, checked in to a nice room with all amenities - including a great kitchen. Fodors choice and Trip Advisor reviews all positive. Hooray we could have a wonderful holiday in St Maarten! The good impressions faded quickly. Betty filled us in with the... more

Our first time at the Horny Toad, and hopefully not our last. This is a small-dare I say old-fashioned- charming guest house. It's in a real neighborhood, on a quiet wonderful beach. Betty makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. It's simple-just what we wanted-no TV or phone, just the sound of the waves-and of course the... more

Hotel is in a prime location along the beach. It is east of Maho Bay, so while planes are overhead they really aren't overwhelming or, in my opinion, even very noticeable. This is a very well run, efficient inn, with very friendly staff. The rooms are very clean, there is a safe box in each room, the location in Simpson... more

Based on the reviews, we were expecting something better than we got. This is a reasonably clean but older property. As noted, planes take off right over the hotel, starting around 8am for the smaller flights, and the louder/bigger planes take off later. The neighbor hood seemed OK, but it's near the airport so it's not overly nice. On the... more

The Horny Toad Guest House & Betty as your host is wonderful!!! My boyfriend and I stayed at here from April 5-12 under not so good circumstances (family funeral) but the place was perfect even under our circumstances. The water on Simpson Bay where it is located has got to be the most spectacular water i have ever seen in... more

We recently returned after a 10-day stay on the island. Initially, we only intended to stay a few nights at the Horny Toad, we then planned to move to the French side of the island. After a few days, we decided we enjoyed our host, our accommodations and the location so much; we would rather spend our entire vacation at... more

Let us start off by saying this place isn't for everyone. The unit did not have a TV or a radio so if you like that stuff then you will be out of luck. The units do have a full kitchen so that is great (plus the owner will make sure to stock your fridge before you get there). You... more

We just got back from the best seven days we've ever spent on a beach. The accommodations were better than perfect, if that's possible. Without a doubt, the CLEANEST place we've ever stayed at. Also, by far, they are the most friendly people to deal with that we've ever come in contact with. If you want nightlife and activities on... more

What a lovely place to stay. I was worried about the location being so close to the airport and the 1st morning we did hear planes early in the am but after the 1st day they were not even noticable. We liked the location because it was close to good restaurants, watersports and beaches. In general, we found activities on... more
