Holiday Homes in Saint Martin

"We arrived before check-in and was greeted very warmly. We were told we could use the beach chairs or have lunch while we waited for our room and they would text us when the room was ready. They did not text us as promised but we had promptly gone to the front desk at 4pm and were given our room key (so the room had been ready but we weren't contacted). The main hostess at the restaurant was not very friendly with us. She literally ignored me for more than 5 minutes while I waited to reserve a table for lunch, walking by me several times ignoring multiple "Excuse Me"'s that I said to her. Americans who are used to saying Hello as a formal greeting rather than the European Good Morning or Good Day will be received coldly. The beach allows smoking, so anyone sitting downwind from a smoker will have their fresh sea air ruined with cigarette smoke. We aren't sure why there isn't a smoking section since it seems it would be easy to accommodate. Of course, this leads to cigarette butts being littered all over the beach. Gross! Our room was very clean and the front area staff were great. The bathroom is an open, Italian style shower concept with no glass, so water gets everywhere when you shower. Mild annoyance. The village is just minutes away walking and offered great food options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Overall, it was a great stay."

"Such a cute little place. Loved the individual bungalows. Everything you need- well stocked. We were in #3 and the patio was big and loved sitting out there. The pool is small but was good to just cool off. Liked that the place was gated. There are several restaurants and a grocery right by. We ate at a couple of them and they were delicious. It is a bit far as it's on the French side but it is quiet and nice view of Oyster pond. The property manager Coco was Amazing!! I left my expensive sunglasses in the office and she put them on our patio for me. Any time I had a question she would get back to us very quickly. Would definitely recommend"

"Love this hotel . Only thing i recommend is that you can hear others next to you in your room"

"La Villa Habiscus was fantastic. We stayed there for 2 weeks on our first vacation with our little one (5 months) and we could not have chosen a better spot. The room was large, clean and had a full kitchen that we used to cook many meals. Julie, the GM, was very attentive and accomodating. There was also a pool located just outside our suite that was very convenient for when we wanted to spend time at the hotel. The location was fantastic. It was a quiet neighbourhood, but just a 10 minute or less drive to 3 of the nicest beaches on the French side (Orient, Grand Case am Anse Marsel). There was also a supermarket about a 3 minute drive away. I could not recommend this hotel enough if you’re looking for a relaxing place to disconnect and unwind. Thank you to the whole team at La Villa Habiscus for making our first family vacation unforgettable!"

"Restaurant is AMAZING & Staff Soooo Great! Location great & room is calm & beautiful ambiance. As Americans, the hard key for room & pool were both difficult & annoying when you can't access without help? Close to Grand Case which is a MUST for foodies & walking to the square for variety of grea t food "
