the cleanliness of the room was commendable. The utilities in the room were of high standard and functioning exceptionally well. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the thumbs up for the coffee machine. For a short stay (like 1 or 2 nights) it is affordable and acceptable.

Thank you for a fantastic stay at Villa FOXIE. This Villa is fabulous. We were warmly welcomed by the owner Rose Marie, who informed us of everything about the Villa to have a comfortable stay, and told us about all the activities and restaurants on the island. The villa which has two levels is very spacious, deliciously decorated Caribbean with a French touch. The foxie villa has two bedrooms upstairs, each with its own private bathroom
It has everything you need for an excellent stay, equipped kitchen, barbecue, parasol, beach chairs... All you have to do is open the living room door to find yourself on the beach. You cannot find a villa closer to the sea. The view from the sea side bedroom on the terrace is spectacular.
Villa Foxie is the most beautiful, most private villa in all of Great Bay. Only one regret, to leave this little paradise......😍

I arrived at back street st. Maarten and when I got there the owner was not there the taxi had to call him then my friend I I stayed there for over 40minutes still he send his 13 year old daughter to carry us to the room that was dirty and the tiles was broken up just Infront the door way and the door look like someone can kick it down anytime and the smell was really bad and then we went to a restaurant on the other side then shortly after andre arrived and told me after my long flight I couldn't bathe my skin cause he just finish tiling the shower and the whole entire place was run down ask him about it and he said he's doing some repairs on it and that was not mention to me that very same morning and nothing about the bathroom either so I sat at the restaurant and call him from. My friend phone on what's app asking him why wasn't I informed about the damage and the repair that very same morning and he said because only after the guess left his place he realized it and it was after 11am that morning. So I ask if he had another place where we can stay and he said no I then told him am not feeling comfortable staying at his place and if I can get back my monies and he said to me if it was cancel am cancelling my stay I said no I told him his place is dirty and and he never told me about his Reno on his place he then collected his keys back I took my bags and left to stay somewhere else that was safe and clean. I didn't get to take pics because I was scared to go back to his place. But I am back home now in Antigua and this happen since tuesday night and all now my monies not on my account. I call just a while ago and he declined my call so I send him message saying I didn't receive my monies all now and I will go all out to get my monies and this is what he send. So please anyone who is think of staying at this place the pic he send I guess has to be old pics cause the place is run down

We found the entirety of our stay on the Dutch side of Sint Maarten wonderful. Taxis at the resort were readily available and reasonable. Be smart and pull up the cruise schedules and plan your trips outside the resort around lighter days. Definitely take a speedboat to Anguilla.

Philipsburg is a fun town with lots of restaurants and shops. Offcourse the boulevard too.
It is like Zandvoort aan zee but a lot warmer ;)
So yes it can be a bit crowdy when there are more than one CruiseShip there. Place for more cruiseships makes that a lot of tourist get ashore and that can be up to 5000 people pro cruiseship. Offcourse they do not all come to Philipsburg but it can get a little crowdy very tourist place to be.
Without the cruiseships Philipsburg still got her own caracter as a small town. On sunday catholic church you can hear people sing and pray.
You can join in entrance is at the backstreet of the boulevard.
You still see some damages made by Hurricanes but they are building and restoring and in 2025 they think they will be ready.
Nice people
Good place to be

lovely beach but have to pay for loungers/umbrellas unless staying at hotel with beach access.
many many shops with staff in street trying to get you to buy, aimed at cruise ship passengers, too much hassle for our liking. unable to walk and sightsee due to constant sales interruptions.
traffic congestion

The island is still recovering from previous hurricanes, it is very safe to move about on your own. The people are strong and hopeful. They are friendly, displaying kindly smiling faces. Local food is so good and easy to get. Shopping is limited mostly to beautiful jewelry, cigarettes, and alcohol at below US prices. Everyone speaks English. Lots of beautiful beaches and water activities to enjoy.

Philipsburg was awesome.
Philipsburg was awesome. If you're looking for a party nightlife, stop reading. Philipsburg is not for you. However, if you're looking for a nice relaxing vacation, then Philipsburg is your place. The Boardwalk is wonderful. You can rent a beach chair for a fee and drink minimum, which isn't so bad because you can lay, drink, and eat there all day. I went to St. Maarten for the SCUBA Diving, so I would dive in the morning and relax in the afternoon. However, please be aware that bars and restaurants close EARLY. Like most of them close at 5 or 6 because that's when the cruise ship tourists go back to the boat. There are a few bars and restaurants open later. The Chinese food places in town definitely stay open a lot later. Front Street offers shopping and the Yoda Guy Museum as well as the Guavaberry Emporium.
You also can take public transportation anywhere. Including to and from the airport for $2.00 US each way. The public transportation buses are simply minivans with signs in the bottom of the front windshield, that say, "MAHO" or "St. Peters," or "French Q" or "Ps'Burg" or wherever you are planning to go. The bus stop is literally a four minute walk from the airport and there's a sidewalk to the street that leads you right there. Otherwise, a taxi is $20.00 per person regardless of how many people are in the taxi.
I would recommend going to MAHO Beach and watch the planes. Grab some lunch from the Sunset Bar & Grill and then go to the beach and watch the planes. You can even stand behind an Air Bus and get blown away as it takes off. I know, it sounds maniacal, but it actually is fun. If you're keeping score at home, yes I did get behind an Air Bus as it took off, but did NOT get blown over or into the sea.
Five Stars for Philipsburg.

The town is still in the recovery mode from the 2017...
The town is still in the recovery mode from the 2017 Hurricanes. Most of the shops are re-opened for business, but the effects of the storms are still evident. It was disappointing to note the lower level of activity on the boardwalk after dark. Our favorite restaurant, IL' Escargot is still closed on front street, with no signs of renovation activity.
For us, the location of Alicia's Inn on Backstreet in Philipsburg was excellent. We could easily walk to restaurants and the large nearby lake for birding. It was also relatively easy for us to walk with our roller bags to board our ship. Our simply furnished room met all of our expectations and was quiet. The on-site reception staff were pleasant, very helpful, and provided special assistance when needed. Several other passengers on our trans-Atlantic voyage stayed at Alicia's Inn and said they would also stay again.
Excellent hotel with excellent location located at the city center,extremely clean & comfortable . Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the friendly reception staff, they made my trip more interesting with their advices & tips about the city ,supermarket ,shops,restaurants bars are within walking distance. Would definetely recommend this hotel to everybody andI'm definitely staying there again!
Perfect location with a lovely view . Very comfortable. Great lobby bar and beach front restaurant and outside space to relax. The breakfast was included and was delicious..many items to choose from. 2 beach loungers and umbrella were included . Close to many shops and restaurants plus very close to Port where we boarded our Windstar Cruise. Highly recommend this hotel.
I’m not a fan of resort hotels but the bedroom was comfortable and spacious. The swimming pools were lovely with plenty of sun beds. The swim up bar was great and the bar guy very friendly and good service. The a la carte restaurant, great food and service. Delicious pizzas . The live music in the evening at Gizmo bar great.
Very good location in the heart of Philipsburg. Nice and helpful staff. We even had a small fridge in our room what we highly appreciated since we bought some food in a supermarket.
Check out the Chinese restaurant „Honoured“ in the same street. Best chicken wontons and Chow Mein I‘ve ever had.
A cute apartment with a deck facing the wild coast of the Caribbean. It is situated in a residential neighbourhood about 3km from the boardwalk in Philipsburg. A 3 km hiking trail to Guana bay is very close by. Edgar was easily accessible and made good suggestions.
The did not know I had 2 rooms booked the guy Christian tho tried to accommodate but with a empty hotel how could this mistake occur? Morning staff kept head down only words was good morning and you can go now after coming from the back
Thank you, both, for this amazing stay! The villa is great, having the sea as your backyard! Location is perfect, everything is clean and we had everything we could have dreamed of. A great stay and a great experience in St Maarten.
The Location was beautiful! Right on the beach and in a quiet location but close enough to get to the attractions in St Maarten. It was great waking up to that view on a daily basis. I would definitely stay here again.
The place was very nice and well laid out . Owner Louis and wife made us feel like family. This place will definitely be my home away from home when travel to St Maarten
Great stay. Lovely hotel with quality food, drinks and friendly and efficient staff. Comfy seating at the bar and the sunbeds. Will definitely be returning. Thank you.
I think the location is awesome , I really appreciate the nice service of the staff I highly recommend this hotel , for sure will be there when I travel back to sxm .
The villa is very luxurious and has a very nice view on Philipsburg.
I really recommend this villa as a nice place for quality time together with your love ones.
Location in the middle of Philipsburg, sun loungers directly above the boardwalk with beach and ocean view, comfortable bed. Very helpful and friendly landlord.
