Rustige omgeving
Het sanitair was verstopt en keukenkraan lag los
The staff went beyond to organize a special request for my guest and made sure I’m happy with that!! Amazing
Netter und sehr freundlicher Vermieter
Résidence super bien équipé
Pas de vue
I went out for breakfast in Simpson Bay, Zee Best Breakfast. It was excellent!
Traffic was a bit heavy getting there but we loved the scenery.
Great communication. Attractive, comfortable room. Next to great restaurant.
Tiene cocina, heladera, elementos básicos para cocinar, Julio muy amable, nos consiguió una pava para calentar agua.
La habitación estaba en un subsuelo, era muy húmeda, sin ventilación, muy pequeña, no tiene shampoo, la limpieza mas o menos..
Quiet and comfortable
No soap or shampoo in the bathroom
Host was amazing I could live there
I like everything
We had a great time at Diamond Gem Residence. During our arrival Jules was there to guide us and we had a very nice talk. We surly will come back again to this lovely place.
Close to everything and clean
Very spacious room, bed was comfortable, shower nice and warm. No noise. Close to supermarket, public transport and restaurants
The road to the residence, but thats not the owners fault.
Nic, zostaliśmy oszukani przez gospodarza obiektu. Na bookingu wybrałem pokój łóżko king size widokiem na ogród, który na zdjęciach przedstawiał pokój z odzielonym aneksem kuchennym, sypialnią i oknem (powinien mieć według opisu 32m2). Dostaliśmy pokój w pakamerze bez żadnego okna o rozmiarze ok 18m2. Po zgłoszeniu uwag do gospodarza i próbie rozwiązania sytuacji usłyszeliśmy, że nie ma dla nas takiego pokoju jak zarezerwowaliśmy, pokoje przedstawione na zdjęciach w ofercie z bookingu nie są do wynajęcia i obiekt jest cały zarezerwowany oraz nie właściciel nie obniży nam ceny pokoju i ewentualnie możemy sobie szukać czegoś innego jak nam się nie podoba. Dopiero po interwencji że strony booking.com właściciel obniżył cenę za pobyt.
Pokój w pakamerze, bez okna. Brudny, obecne małe robaki, komary w środku pokoju i jeden karaluch. W pokoju zapach wilgoci. Brak jakiegokolwiek miejsca do przechowywania i suszenia ubrań. Brudny dywan przy łóżku. Brudne ręczniki i pościel. Wątpliwej czystości słabe wyposażenie aneksu kuchennego. Właściciel sprawiał wrażenie bardzo miłego, natomiast okazał się cwaniakiem - czytając inne opinie okazuje się, że nie nas pierwszych potraktował w ten sposób. Nie wiem skąd tyle pozytywnych opinii tego obiektu.
I loved the stay really cozy and smelled super nice
I love it
Le personnel est très agréable surtout le propriétaire Jules.
This is more of a self contained apartment than a hotel, and the lack of any signage outside made the arrival a little difficult - fortunately a nearby resident confirmed the building and managed to shout the owner out! However it offered a great value stay in a nice location and I would consider staying again. The owner was very friendly, providing a phone number to ask any question or to get help during the visit. The room had a good sized bed, kitchen area complete with plates and cutlery etc, high table and functional bathroom. Annoyingly there was no shower gel or shampoo in the bathroom but there was a bar of soap on the sink. It was a bit of a small area but clean enough. The air conditioning worked really well and being on a quiet side street meant sleep quality was good. The TV was a little basic, the lighting rather ‘harsh’ and the WiFi practically unusable. But saying all that, it was homely and if you were wanting to use the kitchen facilities then it’d work well. I liked the location - there’s a few restaurants close by, a nice harbour area a short walk away, plus a large and well stocked supermarket opposite. As a base outside of the main town it was good and one of the reasons I’d consider staying again.
1. L’emplacement. Il est idéalement situé entre Simpson Bay, Marigot, Maho et Philipsburg 2. Le lit. Vraiment très grand et très très confortable. Nous avons pu très bien nous reposer pendant notre séjour. 3. Les équipements. Il y a ce qu’il faut: kitchenette, micro-onde, plaques chauffantes, frigo, serviettes 4. Netflix en bonus. 5. Places de parking réservé pour les clients. Sans oublier l’accueil de Jules.
Perfect location, very convenient and flexible.
That I could not stay longer
het was prima voor mijn doel. Een nacht een goed bed Het waas voor een transit dus weinig gebruik gemaakt van de voorzieningen die voldoende aanwezig waren
Located in Cole Bay area. A short walk to the local supermarket Carrefour Market. Transport on Union Road was very handy as local buses (vans) passed very frequently. The property felt like a home away from home. This Airbnb style property was easy to find, clean and tidy. A nice touch was having the air conditioning running on check in. A cool place to relax and unwind after travel. The host showed you around the property and took the time to explain things and gave tips of local places to visit and to eat at.
Once at the property it was hard to find where to check in and how to gain access. That is one thing on the island there is a lack of signage and not just for this property. Managed to track down how to contact owner via the booking.com site and able to call via WhatsApp as not everyone can call on their cell but had data like I did.
A very good option due to price, location, and amenities. Owner is very friendly. Would definitely stay there again.
Everything great host 👌
Jules is absolutely fantastic. We enjoyed our stay so much!
The place was very well maintained, and the property owner was the best in service.
Nice an cool environment
Jules was an excellent host. The room was priced fairly and convenient to PDP Marina, which was my consideration.
The apartment complex was very conveniently located to everything as it is centered between the french and dutch borders. The Host was very helpful and kind. Alot of space for storing our things and safe property. Only downside was there was a minor bug problem, but overall good experience
Convenable bonne localisation
Ruhige Unterkunft für einen kurzen Aufenthalt
Jules was very accomodating! Awesome value for money. Would definitely recommend.
My room was lovely. The road leading from main road to property needs major repairing.
Everything was perfect, quiet area, few minutes to supermarket, close to airport and port. I recommend to everyone who doesn't need to live on the beach front, ideal for active travelers.
completely without negative comments
Jules is a wonderful host, taking time to make sure you have everything you need prior to arrival, as well as taking good care of you once you have arrived. The room we stayed in had ceramic tile floors throughout as well as the walls in the bathroom. The whole suite was clean and had a full kitchen, cookware and tableware. We felt right at home.
Property and room were impeccable. Jules (property management and owner) is amazing, accessible, very helpful and accommodating. Room was very clean, everything is working as expected. Comfortable huge king size bed. Property location is very close to amanitas and easy access to either side of the island. My only take on the room, is that space to move around is very tight. A queen bed instead of king would create more space to move around.
The host was very nice and friendly! He was very accommodating. The property was very nice and spacious. Quiet area with washer and dryer. Location was close to airport with Maho beach like 10 min drive
Nothing to say. Property was great!
Jules was awesome can’t say anything negative he was very communicative and anything I needed while I was at his place he made sure we have would definitely recommend him and stay at his place again if I’m ever in st maarten
Great stay! Jules is very friendly and the room was clean and comfortable with all you need. We especially appreciated the convenience of the location, which has parking, and its proximity to carrefour and many of the activities we wanted to do. The kitchen is a nice feature, bed is comfortable, AC strong and the shower pressure is good. We certainly hope to return soon! It was excellent!
Close to the airport ( 40 min walking). Super comfy bed.
Toi much light in the bedroom, door needs a dark courtain.
The property was very nice and clean. Jules the host was very nice and accommodating. Everything you need was accounted for. We didn’t want to drive for dinner and only found two options that were walkable.
Good location to get around the island. Need a car though, limited food options nearby but 5-10 minute drive away. Main road very busy during morning and evening rush hours. If looking for a beach and dining a short walk away this is not it. Jules the owner or manager was excellent with getting anything you need and accommodate you any way he could. Thanks Jules
Well priced property. We had booked a single room but we switched to a 1 bedroom. Be careful in choosing this property. This is near town and grocery stores but beach and recreation is far and traffic in this area is very bad most of the time. No pool or other services are available.
The owner/manager who lives on the premises is always readily available and helpful. The real advantage of Diamond Gem, so long as you have a room with a kitchenette, is the super well stocked Carrefour just across the road. For a supermarket it has great food, much of it imported from France. Expensive but very good.
Convenient location; very clean room and bathroom
The road to the property is terrible. There was a couple constantly fighting at night, and they were super loud
Quiet and peaceful
Very clean and modern. Comfortable. No dining or other amenities nearby. Best to have a rental car if you stay here.
The bedroom was equipped of kitchenette ,fridge and a small table to eat, also with a big confortable bed in a very good tropical temperature and also with air condition system. however the elettricity used to go away frequently during the day and sometimes also for long time. This factor made difficoult to preserve foods and to cook, two factors of vital importance for a human. Also with no internet connection you were isolated.
I like the location for dinning options as well as grocery shopping easily within walking distance. Even more are being built right now. Jewels tries very hard to make your stay a good one. Would definitely stay there again. We stayed 2 weeks.
Diamond Gem is a local apt-hotel in a residential area. No swanky lobby or grounds if you’re looking for that but it carries the charm of St Maarten. Clean room with kitchenette area and separate shower/bathroom. Air-conditioning worked nicely. Very comfy King-size bed. Fluffy towels. (Bring own personal toiletries like soap & shampoo.) Arrival - communicated via Expedia app. Host - Jules James - arrived shortly after we messaged our arrival to let us in our room and get us sorted with WiFi, etc. Lovely warm welcome. Gave us information about local Carrefour supermarket and eateries (Bamboo House is a MUST … thanks for the suggestion, Jules!), as well as his direct contact info in case of any other needs. Would stay again.
安くてよいホテルでした。
The room was clean, and the property is in a quiet and safe area.
location, cleansing quiteness
Not bad, needs coffee machine
Jules is a great host
La chambre était spacieuse et agréable mais la connection internet n'était pas bonne.
The property is nice and quiet and close to airport, shopping and dining options.
Best quite location
Clean close to airport
Very short, one night only. All was fine.
I can see why some people would love this property. The suites are spacious and have everything that you need for an extended stay. Unfortunately, our stay was marred by a significant ant intrusion and poor internet (none one evening). That being said, there is a good grocery store a short walk away, in suite laundry and twice weekly housekeeping. Hopefully, that issues we ran into will be resolved and this will be the wonderful property it can be.
Very clean, low-key and convenient room. Owner is on-site and was very accommodating.
The unit we stayed in was very clean and spacious and so comfortable. The inn’s location was quiet but with only a short drive you will arrive at many restaurants, shopping and beaches. The host was so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Would highly recommend and we would definitely return.
Location is up a pretty rough road, but that's St Maarten. Jules is a great host and very accommodating. The place is clean.
No network TV. No up to date news. Had internet and Netflix, but I'm not a fan of Netflix. No safe in the room. Memory foam mattress in the room that I had. Was just OK.
