Holland House Beach Hotel

Das Holland House ist das beste Haus am Platz, sauber und mit Stil. Wenn alles zu hat nach 18 Uhr, kann man dort noch gepflegt sitzen. Preislich im oberen Bereich aber eben auch superfreundliche Bedienkräfte. Für Hotelgäste ist die Liege am Strand kostenfrei, und es gibt Handtücher und eine Dusche. Das Hotel hat keinen eigenen Pool. Das Frühstück ist erstklassig mit viel Frucht und abwechslungsreichen EierVariationen, Müsli, Brot, Käse und Säften. Alles dauert ein bisschen, aber das ist in der Karibik normal. Das WLAN ist schnell und läuft problemlos. Die Sauberkeit der Zimmer ist 1A- der Ausblick auf die Bucht grandios.

The hotel was only hit by Hurricane Irma on the 4th floor. The rest of the hotel is in perfect conditions. Excellent service, very good breakfast and sunbeds. Sometimes it is a bit crowded when 4 cruiseships arrive, but the location is very good for shopping. There are lots of bars and restaurants around. Some houses in the neighbourhood were destroyed. Very good value for money.

Location is wonderful, in front of the boardwalk along a large beach with great view of the sea and cruise ships entering and existing the pier. As we all know, hurricane Irma hit Sint Maarten last year and left devastation behind, including this hotel where the top two stories were still closed and under renovation. That renovation occasioned noise between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm but it could not be helped. Desk Staff was pleasant if not going all out to be helpful (could not or would not give me a receipt because I did not book with "them" but with "hotel.com").. On the other hand, staff at the bar and restaurant were very friendly. Food at the restaurant, particularly breakfast, was very nice. Concerning quality/price ratio, all accommodations in the Caribbean are prohibitively expensive so I had not expectations that the very high price I paid for the room was going to be met by incredibly unrealistic high standards..

What can I say to express our thanks to the wonderful staff of this great hotel for looking after us before, during and after Hurricane Irma. You all went way beyond the call of duty. The 22 guests remaining during the hurricane will always remember the concern and dedication of the hotel staff to our safety, security and well-being despite their having tremendous problems with their own personal issues at their homes. We, the guests, do hope that your hotel can re repaired as soon as possible so we can return again and sample the hospitality. Once the hotel is rebuilt, guests will experience first class service and great food and beverage at a location that is central and has a great beach and the convenience of all the shopping, dining and bars etc right next to the hotel. if you are in business this is the only place to stay in Philipsburg Best wishes to Paul Boetekees and his fine team Best Wensen en Succes Philippa and Nick Donne
