I have stayed at The Royal Turtle Inn several times. Last time was August, 2012. We always enjoy it, very clean, great breakfast (included). It used to be the governors mansion, converted to a hotel with about 12 rooms. It is quaint but comfortable. No, it is not the Hilton, but it is picturesque, with antiques in the rooms. Very... More

We stayed here 1 night in August as it was close to the airport for our flight the next morning. On arrival at 5.15 pm after a 15 hour trip the place was desered. No reception, no staff, no information or phone numbers to call. Ended up going next door to Avis to see if they knew anything. An employee... More

This is place is beyond horrible. We stayed here for one night due to it being close to the airport. The sheets had to be changed due to hair being all over it! Mosquito infested we had to purchase mosquito repellent and bombers and to top it off we were told they no longer carry wash clothes because the are... More

I've been in this "hotel" 1 night in May, during my return trip to Europe, with my girlfriend. My needs were: a decent room, quite close to the Airport at a fair price. We instead fall into this trap. To put it simple this is not an hotel and it sucks! The "hotel" is situated very close to the Airport... More

This hotel is 10 minute walk to the airport in St Martin. They have a nice pool that is quiet. The room has a very nice bed and mattress. There was a TV with many channels and a refrigerator in the room. Free WIFI reception was OK if we were outside our room near the pool. The walls of the... More

I recently stayed at this hotel and wasn't too impressed really. The rooms are kind of nicely appointed, but the TV was not working properly, the shower head was not attached to the wall which made showering kind of hard (holding the shower in one hand and trying to use the soap with the other). Also the promised free WiFi... More

We have stayed here a few times over the years as the location near to the airport is very handy when you are arriving or departing. There is a lovely little pool for dip to cool off after a long flight. The rooms are of a reasonable standard for the price paid and the breakfast, which is included, is very... More
