The island of Saba is known as the "Unspoiled Queen" and definitely lives up to its name. The very best place to stay on the island is The Gate House. This tranquil bed and breakfast owned and operated by French born Michel and Lyliane Job, has the best restaurant on the island. As Lyliane so aptly put it, "We don't have the most expensive food, but it is the best." We would have to agree. We ended up eating the majority of our meals there. We so enjoyed the food that we are learning to cook French Cuisine at home.
Michel and Lyliane immediately make you feel welcome and do everything they can to make your stay memorable such as making reservations for anything, anytime. They will even prepare a sack lunch for you to take hiking on the magnificent trails through the rain forest. They also provide hiking staffs and umbrellas if needed.
Our room was located at the corner of a roomy deck overlooking the Caribbean. From there you can view Sint Maarten, St. Bart's, Stacia, St. Kitts, and Nevis. The Trade Winds kept things at the perfect temperature and with absolutely no mosquitoes, this is truly an island paradise.
We love to dive and diving is accessible by one of the many taxis on the island (the diving is fantastic). Everything is very close since the island has only 7 miles of road and is only 5 sq. miles in area.
We found the accomodations to be reasonable, the food was delicious, the room was very clean and comfortable, and the hosts were wonderful.
We are returning and are bringing family with us.
