Book early, because the Toad fills up fast, but know that smoking is not allowed at all.
DK Eyewitness "This spotlessly clean inn, steps from the water's edge, does not have any restaurants, bars, or organized activities."
Lonely Planet "In a wooden building that was once a governor's house, this aging guesthouse by the sea features a handful of apartment-style rooms sporting kitchenettes and loads of wicker furniture." Full review
Frommer's "This meticulously maintained guesthouse close to the airport is warmly welcoming, a favorite of repeat visitors who appreciate the location, rooms with fully equipped kitchens, and good value" Full review
Lonely Planet "This beachfront guesthouse still brims with character and conviviality. All eight apartment-style units sport full kitchens and a dining area facing the sea." Full review

"This upper-middle-range resort in popular and beautiful Simpson Bay on the Dutch side is one of the best values on the island." Full review
Fodor's "Tucked away on Pelican Key, Simpson Bay Resort borders both the bay and the ocean, giving you a front-row seat for island sunsets from your terrace." Full review

Others praise the beautiful grounds and facilities but caution that those with mobility issues should request a room on the first floor since the resort's elevators are often out of order.
Frommer's "The resort feels off the beaten track, nestled inside a crescent cove and framed by the lush hills of the Anse Marcel National Nature Reserve...modestly outfitted rooms and suites are pleasant enough" Full review
