I've been in this "hotel" 1 night in May, during my return trip to Europe, with my girlfriend. My needs were: a decent room, quite close to the Airport at a fair price. We instead fall into this trap. To put it simple this is not an hotel and it sucks! The "hotel" is situated very close to the Airport... More

This place is closing down by the end of the month April i was told by some staff when i stop by to make reservation for next year. Since Dwayne left the hotel it has gone to the dogs. The French owners seem to not have done a good job. There were a few great staff and most seem to... More

This hotel is 10 minute walk to the airport in St Martin. They have a nice pool that is quiet. The room has a very nice bed and mattress. There was a TV with many channels and a refrigerator in the room. Free WIFI reception was OK if we were outside our room near the pool. The walls of the... More

I recently stayed at this hotel and wasn't too impressed really. The rooms are kind of nicely appointed, but the TV was not working properly, the shower head was not attached to the wall which made showering kind of hard (holding the shower in one hand and trying to use the soap with the other). Also the promised free WiFi... More

We have stayed here a few times over the years as the location near to the airport is very handy when you are arriving or departing. There is a lovely little pool for dip to cool off after a long flight. The rooms are of a reasonable standard for the price paid and the breakfast, which is included, is very... More

The only reason we decided to stay here is because it is close to the airport (5 minute 9 dollar cab ride) and it's cheap. Turtle Inn is a small (about 6 rooms) privately owned hotel on the road from the airport towards Simpson Bay. Although only 15 meters off the main road, the traffic noise was okay. Noisier are...

We have been going to the Royal Turtle for 5 years. We have a home on a nearby island and find it very conveniently located, just a short walk/taxi from the airport. Flying from California to St. Maarten is no fun, but the Royal Turtle is a great inexpensive place to stay. The breakfasts (included in the price) are always... More

The Royal Turtle Inn....where to begin. First of all....there was NO AIR CONDITIONER on in the stairways or hallways. So it was VERY hot when we were lugging all of our luggage up to the second floor. Once the Michelle (I think that was her name) opened the door to our room, it was even HOTTER!!! I could barely breathe.... More
