Seaview Beach Hotel

Great location and the staff is nice. It was good having a restaurant on site. The grocery store next door was helpful too. The pool is small but cute. Don’t expect to be able to use it though. Two of the three days there were a bunch of local people that taken it over. The one day they were swimming in their underwear. They were using foul language. They threatened to shove $10 up the waitresses’ a** when she asked them to pay the $10 fee to use the pool. We were very uncomfortable as the situation was escalating and there was no male staff to help her. On Sunday they started playing the music at 6 am. The location is walking distance to the marina to catch the ferry and shops and restaurants. Our bathroom reminded me of a cruise ship bathroom. Very narrow shower area and ours leaked into the bedroom area. There was a moldy area on the wall where it had been happening. Based on the location, price and staff it was a good deal for us. If you are two females traveling alone like we were I would just avoid the pool area if there is a group not behaving appropriately.

Our flight back to Montreal was delayed. We called from the St-Martin airport to find out if they had a room available if our flight was canceled. In the meantime, they kindly offered to hold our luggage until we knew what the status of our flight was. We were able to enjoy their facilities. The staff was so accommodating. They have a great location and wonderful facilities.

We enjoyed the most juicy and crispy crust strone oven baked Pizza's! Great veggie pizza: Richly filled and topped. At Sea View Beach pool bar!! Highly recommended. On Valentine's Day they baked heart shaped pizza's: we loved those. For your kid soft ice at the bar. The shrimp wraps are also assome with any drink.

We live in St. Maarten and wanted to have a little birthday cake for our son at the new pool area, which has a premium location, nicest staff, great open spaces to chill, bar, and a deli style market just next to it, if you want a greater selection of food. It's a no brainer if you're visiting and want to have the choice of the beach or the pool at only 10$ per person. You must park away as usual being in front street with very limited public parking options but is worth it. Everything was spotless; we had a wonderful time

Best way to enjoy the “Beach” is here. No high pressure guys hawking chairs. Beautiful clean pool, great bar, clean restrooms, private cabana style rooms facing the pool and beach. $10 per person to use the pool area. $50 gets you a cabana room! Nicest staff we met on the island. From the ship take the water taxis. From drop off turn left very short walk to the hotel.

Anyone considering this hotel should know that currently (March - April 2023) it is undergoing a major renovation. The room and facility photos are not accurate and options are limited. Although located near several casual beach bars and restaurants the hotel has no restaurant of its own. That said, there is a very helpful and friendly staff - some of the best we've encountered - and the rooms and public spaces are spotless. However, until the new rooms, bar, pool and restaurant are ready, we would hesitate to stay there. Also, it should be mentioned that currently there are 2 flights of stairs to negotiate and no elevator. Looking forward to seeing the finished hotel located right on the beach in Philipsburg. With such an outstanding staff and the major upgrade it's bound to be a great choice. In the mean time, do some research to assess the current status.

Hotel is under renovations, however the room we had was quite sufficient. Very reasonable rate for Philipsburg and very near the cruise port. The small Double Dutch restaurant out front is excellent, especially for breakfast croissants. Did have a problem at night getting hot water, but it was there in the morning. Hotel is located right on the beach with many restaurants nearby.

Currently under restoration having been sold to new owners during Covid, the Sea View remains an excellent and inexpensive place to overnight-or stay for several days as we did-when visitng St Martin. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to help; the rooms (we were in 50, facing the sea) are fully airconditioned with large bathrooms (with soap, shampoo and conditioner, ample towels); the bed had a new firm matress with comfy pillows and spotlessly white linen. Prices will doubtless go up once the work is finished, but at the moment the builders are only working 8-4 on the outside (putting in a pool) and on the extension rooms, so they are no bother. The Double Dutch Cafe on the front serves the best coffee you will find--better than in the fancy hotel down the boardwalk. You wont do better than the Sea View however much you pay.

This hotel built in 1962 breathes old Caribbean style. It is right on the beach with loungebeds and parasols. We had a nice breakfast next door in a local restaurant on the Boardwalk where you find a variety of restaurants. Beautiful sunset, the view over Great Bay is breathtaking. The rooms are clean and have everything to accomodate a pleasant stay. The window shutters keep out the sun and noise. The bed is small, but very comfortable! The entrance is in the main shopping street and historical center of Philipsburg. Very fast Wi-Fi also in front of the Boardwalk. Friendly service and clean and safe in and outside of the hotel.
