Very cozy for just 2 people

This is our 2nd time staying at Royal Islander and 1st time in this unit. We found it very cozy for just 2 people. The unit was very clean, supplied with enough ingredients, coffee & creamer, paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, soap and plenty of dishes and cookware. The bed was very comfortable, extra pillows and blankets in the closet. The outdoor patio was perfect right on the roof top garden. I was able to go over the side and walk the garden area right from my patio everyday. Large closet with a safe which we used, very easy to use. AC worked GREAT.The pool area is an easy walk right down the hallway with an ice machine just 30 feet from our front door. Very nice pool and hot tub. Pool bar open daily and it's run by a very friendly lady and her husband. Others mentioned the Wee lounge next door, yes, you can hear the base going until 3am NOT super load when laying in bed, more of a faint distance sound, we had our noise machine on which helped drown it out for the most part.Maho main street is right out the front door with plenty of shops, bars, restaurants and casino. Makes for a very fun night out without having to drive any where.We will for sure rent again. My only suggestion would be to have a broom in the room. There was a dry mop and dust pan I used to sweep up the sand daily and dump, otherwise a PERFECT STAY once again.Jeffrey the caretaker was very on top of things and very easy to communicate with, answered right away.

There was four of us staying in two rooms. The rooms where on the 1st floor, but we were very close to the WE Lounge , so it was base noisy till the we hours of the morning. Great place to stay , just not too close to the lounge and you’ll be fine.

Definitely a MUST!

From the moment of booking until check out~ I was super impressed. Great communication with detailed direction! Upon arrival to unit, very clean, and a beautiful garden view, just a few steps from a glorious pool/hot tub/bar. It was a treat to see coffee/dish soap/and so many other necessities! *not sure if past guest left or if this was an upgrade due to great host. There is a market next door, tons of fantastic places to eat, a casino with the best sushi I've every had! If you are looking for a place surrounded by beautiful views, no need for a car, walk anywhere within minutes... This is your place!! We will be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff

Host profile image
I’ve spent the past decade traveling from the US to the “Friendly Island” of Sint Maarten. Love at first sight, the crystal clear waters, the white sandy beaches, and the warm and welcoming culture of the locals make this island a true paradise. From taking a stroll along the bustling boardwalk in Philipsburg to hiking to the top of Pic Paradis for breathtaking views of the island, there is never a dull moment on Sint Maarten. I love the vibrant atmosphere of this island, with its colorful buildings, lively music, and delicious cuisine. Whether it's indulging in fresh seafood, sipping on a refreshing drink, or simply relaxing on the beach, Sint Maarten has captured my heart and continues to be one of my favorite destinations. As a result, I have bought four condominiums in Maho, my favorite area on the island, specifically at the Royal Islander - La Terrasse. Currently, I welcome visitors from various parts of the world and relish hearing their stories of how they have also grown fond of the island. Feel free to stay at Royal Retreats at Maho Beach and have a secure journey.
