Twelve rooms bythe runway.
A boutique hotel and conference center on Simpson Bay — built for the working traveller, with a pool deck, a coffee lounge, and the afternoon flights coming in low over the bay.
A boutique house with the soul of the Caribbean and the comforts of Europe
Twelve rooms built around a simple idea: that the business traveller deserves more than a corporate box by the airport. Fast Wi-Fi and a proper desk meet a pool deck, a coffee lounge and a real welcome — European in scale, Caribbean in spirit.

Time your drink to the next big jet
Every arrival and departure at Princess Juliana, live — wander up to the deck a few minutes before a wide-body is due.
Warm words from those who've stayed
Honest reviews, consistently above 80% across Booking.com and Google — and the start of a guest list that keeps coming back direct.
“A genuine boutique find. The room was spotless, the Wi-Fi fast enough to work all morning, and watching the planes come in from the deck with a drink is something I still talk about.”
“Warm, personal and quiet. It feels like a big home rather than a hotel. Rashida looked after every detail and the location for the marinas could not be better.”
“We came for a conference and stayed for the calm. The team made it effortless, breakfast plans sound wonderful, and we've already booked direct for next time.”
“My go-to between rotations. Minutes from the airport, a proper desk, and the late checkout when the room is free makes all the difference for crew schedules.”
A Caribbean breakfast worth waking up for
Our new coffee lounge opens soon, in partnership with VR Coffee — proper coffee, a warm island plate and a light-filled room, open to guests and the public alike.

The best of BethsAida is kept for direct guests — a better rate, the pick of the rooms, and a real relationship with the people who run the house.
From first pour to nightcap
First pour at D'Novo
The lounge opens to the soft hum of the espresso machine and the morning's first plate.
The pool deck
Lap pool, deep loungers, and the runway just there — a low rumble between dips.
Afternoon wave
Three to six: the wide-bodies drift in over Simpson Bay. Cold drink in hand, deck-side seat.
Aperitivo in the lounge
Hand-built woodwork, soft lamps, a pour of something dry before walking out into Maho.
Nightcap on the staircase
Up the spiral, the lobby quiet, the lagoon air drifting in — the house settles for the night.
Stories from the property
Plane Spotting From the Deck
