I just completed my third trip to the Turquoise Shell Inn in the last two years. I now feel like I'm "coming home" when I visit the Turquoise Shell. Carter, Marcus and Polly are so hospitalble, and the Inn is perfect! The rooms are clean, comfortable, and the location is centrally located on the island. I can't believe I have... more

My sister has visited the Turquoise Shell Inn several times and highly recommended it for a pre-high season get-away.... and I was not disappointed. The proprietors were extremely gracious and the accomodations were quite comfortable and relaxing. The location along Simpson Bay allowed walking to a variety of restaurants, shops, bars and casinos. And of course a beautiful beach setting... more

We have timeshare at The Pelican Club that runs from Saturday to Saturday in February of each year. We like to spend a couple of extra days in St. Maarten, and this past year we stayed 3 days/nights at the T-Shell Inn. Carter and Marcus are WONDERFUL hosts; the T-Shell is EXTREMELY clean and quaint, and very affordable. The location... more

We had a great time. The rooms were very clean and the staff was very friendly. Having a kitchen was extremely helpful when it came to filling our drinks while at the pool. We were walking distance from the convenience store and a dozen good restaurants (especially for "foodies"). We took local transportation to all of the shopping on both... more

Stayed there one night after timeshare, very clean. Cute little place with enough room, and even a small kitchen to cook. Would certainly stay again.Beach just steps away. Carter couldn't be more accommodating. more

My wife and I researched the hotels in Sint Maarten quite a bit before finally settling on the Turquoise Shell Inn, and I must say that I'm glad we did. First of all, the setting. Unlike resorts or other large chains, this hotel didn't have that artificial feel to it. When you stay at one of these types of places,... more

Saint Martin is one of the most relaxed places on earth, and this hotel just suits that feel perfectly. The location is excellent - just off the main shopping & restaurant street in Simpson's Bay - a short drive to my heaven on earth - The Sunset Bar and Maho Beach ! The hidden gem of this location is the... more

This hotel is ideally situated and a great home base. The room had all the extra basics; fridge, microwave, stove, utensils which makes it very convenient and ends up saving money if you don't feel like eating out every day. The hotel also has free wi-fi which was excellent so feel free to bring a laptop. There are plenty of... more

This is a fantastic, little Inn (only 10 units), close the airport, a walk across the courtyard to the beach, quiet, charming and very comfortable. Accomodations are like a small apartment with full kitchen, bathroom, living room area and then a seperate bedroom. Very clean and service was outstanding. I would HIGHLY recommend this Inn over any big resort type... more
