Decent Stay; Some Rude Staff
Great location. Nice pool and nice to have a private section of beach. The rooms were outdated but very spacious and comfortable enough, and thankfully the AC worked great.
Some of the staff wasn't friendly and they definitely weren't helpful... For one, my room wasn't ready at the already late check-in time of 4pm. They also wouldn't budge on checkout time (10am, which is early when you have a late afternoon flight and it's SO hot outside). The man who helped with beach chairs was one of the rudest men I've ever encountered in my travels.

Nice but Very Noisy.
Property is very clean and located right where you want to be for Maho beach. Excellent for plane spotting as long as you are above the 2nd floor. The room is very comfortable and the view of the pool and ocean is great! The only problem is, on one of the two sides of the hotel, the bedroom is directly over the road and a bar that blasts music from 8pm to 2am. Don’t expect to sleep other than 2am to about 8 am if you are placed on this side of the hotel.

Great location
It was a last minute trip but we needed a great hotel. The Royal Islander La Page was terrific. Located right on the beach next to the airport. Our room overlooked the beach…it was wonderful…and had a small kitchen. Staff were very accommodating and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

It’s a basic hotel with necessary amenities. There wasn’t anything special. Staff doesn’t interact much with guests and there aren’t many activities on site other than bingo. I would say this particular location is best for older travelers who want to relax in silence.
