Horizon View Beach Hotel, Philipsburg

Love the location and view, property needs more up keep. Great potential

Location is ocean front , doesn’t get any better . On vacation we don’t live in rooms . Not luxurious but Place is very clean comfortable beds , ex air conditioning , ex water pressure beautiful shower heads one fixed one handheld . Holiness house is next door for a delightful breakfast . Location is safe day or nite . if u don’t need a resort this is a good place to stay at a very fair price! A hidden Gem

Great property. Hospitable and friendly staff. Large clean and quiet room with full kitchen, good quality towels and sheets, quiet and efficient AC. A few things to note: location is on the beach/boardwalk, but the hotel is not facing the beach exactly - you get out on a side street, but it’s only a few steps from the boardwalk. The reception is not on the ground level - you need to take an elevator up. It’s about 25 min (US$ 20) taxi ride from the airport, but it can get longer with the afternoon traffic.

Excellent location & fantastic staff. Very clean - we had an ocean view room & the sound of the surf is always a great sound. Very friendly & accommodating manager. Will definitely stay here on our next visit to St Maarten. Located in the downtown area for shopping.

Great hotel in the middle of philipsburg

easy walking distance to Bobby's wharf restaurants and downtown shopping. right on the beach.

The staff was very friendly especially Ramesh- he would order us taxis and give us recommendations. The hotel is located in between jewelry story galore- if you want to shop this is the place to stay. The beach is very close.

This property is right in the thick of things in Philipsburg. It's a busy place the boardwalk in front and Front ST. on the back side of the hotel. Relatively quit, Monday services next door had the church bell recording going off at 5 and 6 AM. We liked the location for two nights, it was walking distance from the Dive Sint Maarten. If you are a diver I really recommend using Dive Sint Maarten. The casino is a 5 minute walk. The restaurant Green House is also 5 minutes.

When we checked in the receptionist took my credit card info like normal then he wrote it down on the back of a piece of paper. I questioned him about it and he told me it was procedure but I didn’t agree with that and he told me to stop arguing with him about it. I told him I have a right to question him it’s my card. He finally told me the internet was down and he need the number to enter into his computer when it was up again. Once in the room it was nothing I expected at $200 a night. The bathroom was dirty and had urine all over the toilet seat. It’s really outdated and not as comfortable as I expected. I complained and he moved my room to something a little bit better/ cleaner. There is a small balcony with no ocean view. The balcony has a steel door that has a sign that says lower it when your not in your room for safety. I was scared after reading that but I actually felt safe in the city at all times of the day and night. It’s located in the heart of the city. I hope this helps because I wish someone had told me prior to booking it.

Great suite - bigger than my first apartment! Very friendly staff at the desk. Was more space than I needed but fantastic view and location.
