Hotel Butik di Anse Marcel

"We had such a wonderful stay at The Forest with our baby Soleil on her very first trip to St. Maarten 🌿✨ The Forest is a beautiful boutique hotel, tucked away in the mountains on the quieter side of the island—perfect if you’re looking for peace and relaxation. Our room was comfortable and very spacious (honestly, more space than we needed since we love being out and exploring!), but it made our stay feel extra luxurious. One of our favourite parts was the private outdoor area. We spent time...

"Staff is very nice and beach is perhaps the best or one of the best in SXM. Inconsistencies with how staff can / cannot bill lunch to your room. Reception says yes. Some restaurant staff say yes. Some say no, you need a card or cash. Why? They can’t, for some reason, or don’t want to include tips when charging to the room. But, beach boys have no problem with this. Something they need to fix. Grounds in desperate need of basic TLC… dingy concrete that needs power washing. Lawn...

"I would love to give 5 stars, the resort was nice, clean for the most part and food was good except for at The Mix, which we had to pay an extra $45 per person for as it was not included in our AI package. The resort as a whole was very short staffed which caused all staff to be over worked and most not so friendly.

"Staff was rude"

"Beautiful room … Royal Islander is an older resort but is definitely still amazing. First stayed here in 1989. Will return again. Daily housekeeping a plus. Only thing I dislike is using the small parking garage. Very tight spots and $8/day fee. "

"We paid for a beach view but had no beach view and the beach is like a 5min walk but not swimable because of all the rocks"

"View was spectacular. Food at resort was primo as well. Beach is "open from 10-6" meaning if you want service, towel, or chair its 10-6. You can still take an early morning dip. Valet was chill, staff was chill. View again was great. Rainbow cafe is two/three doors down. Cool spot, but they party over there until midnight on the weekends. It is loud when they are partying and the bass shakes the whole block. Be aware of that. If you want to have dinner at the restaurant it closes at 8,...
