Top Hotels Near Guana Bay Beach in Philipsburg from NZ$205

"The bad part: rooms outdated, bed uncomfortable, shower way too small, lighting poor, TV poorly installed, quality of breakfast items subpar. The good part: very good genuine service from ALL the people I’ve been in contact."

"We have had another wonderful stay at Princess Heights Luxury Hotel. We were there for 12 days and we love the location. We had the ocean view to wake up to every morning which was amazing and lovely to sit on the patio to wake up slowly. Very quiet location, attentive staff, good restaurants within driving distance. Dawn Beach is close to walk to but small. We were lucky to see some monkeys while there also. We highly recommend this location, however, you do need a car or use a taxi to get around. The pool was lovely and such a great way to relax at the end of a busy day of sightseeing. "

"The host, Chris, is most accommodating and has lots of recommendations. All the amenities were as advertised. The cleaning staff came regularly and were a please to speak with. When it rains, it is for 10 minutes at most, and everything is dry 10 minutes after that. The pool was great and well maintained. Anything in the villa that needed attention was dealt with in short order. The warm Caribbean breeze blew in from the east offering a pleasant cooling from the usual high of 29C."

"Large rooms with great ocean views! Helpful staff and good beach access!"

"This resort was an enormous disappointment and felt like a complete misrepresentation of what was advertised. The beach was one of the biggest letdowns there was very little actual beach space, and it was not swimmable, which completely undermines the vacation experience. The pool chairs were extremely uncomfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the resort was dreary and uninspired. Everything was beige and generic, with the feel of a Midwest airport hotel rather than a luxury Caribbean resort. The lobby bar was consistently filled with business travelers wearing name badges, which made the entire property feel more like a convention hotel than a relaxing getaway. The food was poor, with very limited options. Many of the plants around the resort were dead, which only added to the depressing atmosphere. The staff was not warm, friendly, or accommodating, and there was little to no effort made to create a welcoming or elevated guest experience. The location also felt isolating. It is in the middle of nowhere, with very few nearby options unless you are willing to drive a significant distance. There was virtually no entertainment and no meaningful activities to speak of just a lone saxophonist in the lobby, which only emphasized how empty and lifeless the place felt. To make matters worse, the hotel was uncomfortably cold throughout, and nothing about the experience felt luxurious, relaxing, or vacation-like. Given the $ - STAY ELSEWHERE!!"

"The views are in redoble. I slept with my sliding glass door open every night and had the breeze right on my bed. Absolutely heavenly!!!! Ursula is phenomenal and really enhanced our stay. We loved the meals she cooked for us and she was even able to make an amazing gluten free banana bread and carrot cake. Ginny was kind and very responsive to any questions we had. She sent a 6 page document that really covered the best of the island. Gizmo is a safe and amazing driver. He knows all the speed bumps and best ways to get around the island; skipping as much traffic as possible. We did a 6 hour tour with him and would recommend this!!! The only negative was that the places we had decided to visit/eat were more on the western side of the island, so it meant a 15-20ish minute drive. We were a group of 4 ladies and felt very safe. Highly, highly recommend!!!"

"Beach view was unobstructed and the pool was top notch! Our host was the best host ever and was extremely communicative and went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable to the max. The Villa was very luxurious and extremely well appointed.We would definitely recommend our host and this VRBO to anyone!"

"The Villa was absolutely beautiful. It was everything we needed and more. I would definitely love to come back again to stay. The host made everything so easy, from the guide meeting us at the airport, to the list of recommendations and favorite activities and restaurants. What a wonderful family memory. "

"Our stay was great as always, the house has everything needed to cook most meals and with the beach being so close this location has everything we are looking for in our stay. Thanks Frank for another great visit to the island"
