Bliss Villa by Villas Caribe - The Valley

I really like the hotel, very similar in style to Amsterdam hotels, modern and clean. Located in Philipsburg. Service was great, very helpful at the front desk and were eager to help with directions or change for a bus or cab. Lots and lots of shopping along Front street where hotel was located, and a beautiful view of ocean and bar/restaurant at the back of hotel. Lots of action along the boardwalk. but some days, way too many people shopping. I was able to walk from the front of hotel straight through, past a cool bar, right out onto the beach. They did put me in a corner room with a very small balcony, but the price was good. It was noisy from the street but things settled down after about 7pm. A few good restaurants nearby, but the best ones were in Grand Case, a 30 min cab drive away.

Another wonderful stay at our most favorite island. There is a reason they call St. Maartin 'The Friendly Island'! We so enjoyed our stay at The Great Bay Hotel and Casino. We have been coming to the island for over 10 years..and our visit would only be complete by staying at The Sonesta Great Bay. The staff is exceptional. The location is perfect to enjoy the ocean blue, visit Philipsburg, eat at local restaurants, or at the hotel, You can do day trips to other wonderful places on the island. Great place and great people! We consider St. Maartin our home away from home!

i don't think this is really a four star hotel. maybe a 3. this is NOT BEACH FRONT and it is kind of hard to get to from everything. its modern, nice... but not what a four star should really be.

We booked a last-minute overnight at Oyster Bay (en route to our final destination on another island) and really enjoyed it. The hotel was clean and very comfortable. We really enjoyed the beach. But most of all the concierge and front desk staff were absolutely wonderful. Thank you!

Hotel staff had terrible customer service. We were given a room that still had guests in it and entered the room. We were told to just leave our bags in the room witrh the old guests and they would clean the room when they had time. We then realized we were placed in a room that was a lower quality room than what we had paid for. We asked to change and all the rooms were full. After 4 hours of waiting for a room, one customer service rep finally helped us out and we got the room we paid for but had to wait 5 hours for them to clean it. Would not recommend this hotel for someone trying to relax and not have to deal with a hassel. There were more than 10 other complaints we listened to while waiting in line to be helped.
