Imagine blossoms, palms and hummingbirds surrounding your private cottage. Just a few steps to dip your feet (and the rest of your body) in a crystal clear pool. Amazing panoramic views over the caribbean sea from breakfast/dining area, poolside and your own terrace in front of your cottage.

Patrick and Sophie, the hosts, are very friendly and helpful. Patrick is a chef and once or twice a week he prepares a wonderful dinner for the guests. And try the home made yoghurt, rum and banana jam, it´s worth a try.

There is just one thing we didn´t like there: to leave after one week in peace and harmony!

I just went to El Momo with my husband and it was such a lovely place. Andries was an excellent host. At first I was a bit wary of going to an Eco style hotel but it was worth it. I loved the breakfast at mornings as it felt very cozy as most of the guest came to eat at the same time. The banana jam was excellent and the tea blend they make. The pool had a great view. You really can appreciate the silence and cozy nature of this place. I am not going to say anymore.... You should experience it for yourself. If you want someplace void of loud annoying tourist go to El Momo. It is an excellent place for outdoor lovers and groups. My husband and I cannot wait to go back ..just counting down the says

El Momo was just what we were looking for--simple, beautiful and relaxing. We stayed in the "Cottage in the Sky" for 7 nights. The cottage has a magnificent view throughout the day. In the morning, the low sun illuminates the cliffs of St. Johns and in the evening it sets over the sea. The cottage is also setup so that you can leave the doors and windows wide open at night. There was always a nice breeze, which made the days relaxing and the nights ideal for sleeping.

The managers of the property, Patrick and Sophie, were perfect hosts: friendly and full of great recommendations.

Hopefully someday we can return to Saba. If we do, we will definitely be staying at El Momo.

Spent a night on the island and had the pleasure of staying at El Momo. Great location, eco friendly, lovely scenery and different from typical hotel. Also, romantic as watch the sunset from your cottage.

We just had our all time favorite vacation here, a few nights at the "Inguana cottage" and then a few in Cottage in the Sky. The hosts were 5 star fabulous and went out of the way to make the guests feel welcome. The terrace for meals has breathing taking views and makes you just want to curl up on the big sofa and read a book (which we did) and the host, Sophie, never makes you wait to have one of there homemade meals. If you get lucky the other host Patrick ,may host a dinner there as well one night (he is a chef too!). The cottages are quaint with outstanding views. If you want super luxury this is not the place. However, if you enjoy being part of the gorgeous nature around you will be in your glory here. El Momo is not for the unfit (nor is Saba in general) there are many steps uphill just to get to the lodge and more to your exquisite cottage. Saba is tiny and in a few days one will have a good sense of the layout of the island as well as the people. El Momo is in a fantastic location within easy walking distance to all the Windward side restaurants, shops, and trails. The hosts were extremely helpful and handled all of our meal reservations as well as checking on flights and reserving any transportation. They were very knowledgeable about the food, trails, and general area (not to mention they even trek your bags up the large number of steps for you). I could rave and rave that this was an amazing trip made to be the best by the warm and welcoming hosts of El Momo. Sophie and Patrick (the hosts) are perfect for their roles and we plan to go back the next chance we get.
