Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
Stayed three times at Calinago Friendly Family and twice it was coming back home. Because that is what it becomes being clean, quiet, well equipped, its brilliant view on Great Bay, beach, shops and restaurants around the corner and with a host like Andrae: a cool and caring guy, respecting privacy, but around if needed. A well chosen name.
Great location and the host was super helpful and responsive, suggesting things to do and asking how our first night was. The property was very modern and somewhere we could stay for a long trip.
A very likeable host! We felt comfortable and welcomed. The location was great and directly by the beach, the price cheap and the communication good and easy!
Great location (beach and boardwalk just around the corner, supermarket in walking distance)
While the building might seem sort of below par from the outside, room is in good condition and really clean.
Bed and pillows were comfortable
Andrae is helpful, friendly and always around if you need something
Will check availabililty should I come back to Sint Maarten
And the price was really cheap :)
The corner apartment was amazing. Right on the ocean, with a balcony and hammock overlooking the water. The area was quiet and safe, only 10-15 mins from most attractions. At night, there was no noise except the lapping of the ocean. The host was very kind, helpful and amenable.
