The A/C did not work properly, and the room smelled of cat urine. We needed to go to the local supermarket to buy air freshener and candles as the smell was so unbearable it caused me a headed. There were cats all around the property.

Good Area for St. Martin Beach and Dining Options
Nicely designed unit with a great view and overall facility and provided assets. Owner/manager responsive quickly to needs. (Note that there are many steps to access the rental and within it -- not a problem in general for us but likely not a good rental for any not so able guests. Inside is a descent to toilet and ascent to it from kitchen and living areas. Ascent and descent also to pool and parking -- the latter a concern with baggage and groceries.) AC only in bedroom -- also not a concern for us but that situation needs to be noted. One issue that also is a concern: the description indicated "satellite TV" which is NOT the case. There is access for subscribers to assorted TV services via a modest and fairly slow internet connection (free wifi is provided) but that is not "satellite TV" and is not a service or services everyone has subscribed to. Again, this quite simply is a communication that needs to be in the description for the property. We liked the location very much and found the unit and general property charming.

Quaint little 2 level one bedroom unit. The bathroom is upstairs and the bedroom downstairs, waking up in the middle of the night to urinate involves navigating the rather narrow staircase. The bed was comfy enough and the unit was clean. The kitchen is accessible from the porch but not within the unit. The unit should be more at a $70 per night range imho.

Great stay! Thank you!
Helpful staff/owners. Close to the beach and close to Grand Case for restaurants. The staff was so welcoming and guided us on what to do in the area. Well appointed rooms along with a nice pool also. After many visits to a number of hotels and resorts on SXM, this place covered all the bases and I can't wait to return. Thank you!

I spent two weeks staying here, it is a nice quiet area, short walk to the beach with a nice ocean side town near by for evening drinks and food. The staff are all friendly and helpful and the rooms have all you require to be self-sufficient if you desire. I will be back!

Excellent and quiet location
Rõõm in good shape when we arrived with the GM waiting for us to check in which was late due to our flight didn't land until 10pm.....no issues with the room other then a few light bulbs that burnt out that were quickly replaced. Would definitely recommend this location as I've been to 8 different locations in Orient Bay area during my 15 visits to the island

Family run nice apartments on a budget
This place is great when you are looking for a budget apartment in a quiet area for a good nights sleep, but otherwise planning to move around the island with a car. The place has a lot of stairs so not ideal for people with movement difficulties. The apartments are quiet and cool thanks to air conditioning. Beds are premium offer good sleep. Huge balconies with beautiful views. Wifi was also better than any other place on the island. Kitchenettes are also well equipped (you even get a toaster, which is really unnecessary), the bathroom less so. The place also offers a cozy swimming pool with views at the salt lake. Usually nobody here so good to relax and enjoy the sunshine. As for the negatives: We lacked a hairdryer and we did not get one even on request. So be prepared to bring your own. There is really nothing in the area within walking distance apart from a posh restaurant. The beach and the supermarket are NOT walking distance, unless you don't mind walking 20+ mins among cars with no sidewalks. You need to have a car, bike or some sort of way to move around from here, but can otherwise be a good base. Room service is every 4 (!) days which we found too rare. Room service every 2 days or so would have made it much more comfortable. Mosquitoes also show up around dawn and dusk so be prepared for those too.

A quiet and relaxing sanctuary!
Idolem is a small “boutique” hotel operated by a friendly French family. If you are expecting a corporate (e.g. Marriott, Sheraton) this is not for you. If you’re looking for an intimate, quiet, and low key stay then this is it! The Idolem Residence was beautiful, clean, and really well maintained (see my photos!). It is painted white and looks like it belongs on the Greek Mediterranean. Idolem has a pool, which is a little on the small side, but seems to be rarely used by guests. It turned out to be great spot to sit and sleep or catch up on reading. There is also a family of iguanas living across the road next to the salt pond. The units were clean, basically furnished and very spacious! Each unit had a well-equipped kitchen which saved a lot of $$ spent in restaurants. Air conditioning was installed in the bedrooms, but not the main rooms (generally there is always a cool sea breeze from the Atlantic, so it was never really too hot).

The pictures you see online make it look a lot better than it really is. The hotel location is inconvenient unless you have a car. The reception is never open to attend your needs. The room was full of mosquitoes. I would not go back.
