This is a great place to spend a vacation in St. Maarten. The staff bends over backward to help. The rooms are a little dated but this only adds to the rustic charm. As stated in other reviews the airport noise is no problem. It quickly evolved in just a loud background noise! The beach is very clean, the water clear, and the view is amazing.

We left today after 12 days ! Can’t say enough good things about this place! Everyone was so friendly ! Small restaurant (limited menu) but everything was delicious ! Beach right out your door !! And the grounds are just beautiful ! Loved seeing Molly and Stripe (the dogs of the owners) who roam around and visit ! (We bought a box of biscuits) and it’s a dog friendly resort so there were other furry friends !! Simpsons Bay has so many great restaurants too !!! Just loved this trip !!!!

Great location. Laid back and casual. Steps from the beach. Quiet and comfortable. Kitchen was really a kitchenette - fine for breakfast/lunch but a bit small for dinners. Good food and drink very close by and a mini market with plenty of food items a short walk away.

Comfortable rooms (#206) with charming heavy leather couch & chair, fine king 4 poster bed & chests in same style, and many tasteful framed oriental flavored paintings/prints. Eating on high bar on high stools is fine for the tall person & less good for the small one. Eating on the balcony with partial view of sea was a treat. Kitchen is well equipped which we greatly appreciated. Also two sinks in the bathroom- wow! Staff were excellent & helpful. The sea was a bit rough some days and not really swimmable long distance but most days enjoyable. Beach lounge chair material needs updating and more of the large triangular sunshades would have been welcomed. You get used to the planes and in fact kinda like all that action. Overall a very good vacation spot!

What a great place very charming and very laid-back atmosphere would highly recommend this place to anyone who is going to Saint Maarten. You will fall in love with this place

Mary's Boon is the perfect place to stay if you want to relax and be able to walk to the beach in 2 mins or less. My husband and I really enjoyed staying in this villa. It was clean and well appointed. The owner is very easy to work with and alway's answered my many questions right away. The king size bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is spacious. The staff was very accommodating and extremely nice. The beach is beautiful and we liked that the chairs and umbrella's were complimentary. We had all the amenities of the hotel even though the villa is privately owned. Our favorite thing to do was to get our coffee, walk out our door and onto the beach for a long walk. Normally we stay across the bay and go to a different beach each day since we really don't like the beach they have, but not here. We only left to go to a different beach on 2 days because we loved this beach so much. The planes were a bit loud the first day but after that you really don't pay attention to them unless it's the KLM 747 taking off. Then you just have to watch!! Lots of restaurants and night life in Simpson's Bay and Karakters restaurant is a walk down the beach. With the new causeway it was less than 10 minutes to Marigot or 20 to Grand Case. We went to Grand Case for Carnival Night on Tuesday and ate at LeTastivan. Excellent service and delicious food. They close off the street that night for vendors, dancers and music. A must if you come to the island. I would definitely recommend Mary's Boon to anyone that loves to relax and enjoy the beach!

Spent 2 weeks in a 1 bedroom unit It was perfect for myself, husband & our little dog "Roxanne". We rented a car for the 2 weeks, however, didn't really need it everyday. The beach was lovely & the staff outstanding. Also, met lovely people from Australia and Connecticut we enjoyed hanging out with. Big hello to Ricky & Mark (whom was not there in our time period ). Will definitely try to return one day! !! Thanks to everyone! !!

Our stay was wonderful. I counted 75 steps to the beach and what a lovely beach, a view of some of the mountains, boats in the harbor-really big personal craft, houses on the hillside, Oh, my!. The people are wonderfully nice at the hotel and on the island. Driving is a bit scary, get the smallest car you can but everyone watches out for everyone else. We had a Mustang convertable and it seemed big but I am not spacially challenged. Very nice restaraunts throughout the island and this location is one of the best for lots of restaraunts. More than can eat at in a month but nothing is well marked so if you're not adventurous, stay home or eat at the hotel. It was very nice too. Not hard to find just 2 right turns and follow the signs. Have a navigator so you can watch the road and he/she can look for the signs. First time is almost a bit scary going to Mary's Boon but after a trip or two it's delightful. Have faith and just keep going. One thing about this island is that if you keep going long enough you'll end up back where you started from Due to mechanical problems our flight was cancelled and we were put up in a fancy, smancy newer hotel on the French side. Impressive place but we decided we liked our little place at Mary's Boon better.
