Marigot Palms Luxury Guesthouse

We'd just spent four weeks travelling around the Caribbean, staying in five places and seeing many islands, and Marigot Bay was one of the highlights. Marigot Palms was a favourite. The apartments are lovely, with everything we needed, a comfy bed and amazing views. Danny and Ann offer such personal service, and nothing seemed too much trouble. The Villa next door was, in my opinion, the best place to eat in the area, and it's a really peaceful spot for dinner. Thanks to Danny, Ann and all the staff for being such great hosts. We'd go back in a heartbeat.

We had a very comfortable seven-night stay in the Richmond Apartment. Its best feature was the huge private deck, about 10 feet wide and wrapping around two sides, with a cover for the occasional rain shower, a big lounge couch and two wicker chairs. The kitchenette and living area were handy too. The bay views are exceptional, and the location in Marigot Bay is very good. It's a quiet, low-key property with just seven rooms. Ann and Danny were good hosts and can help arrange airport transfers. The main part of the bay is down a steep, winding hill, about a six-minute walk, and Ann was always available to drive us back up. The attached restaurant, The Villa, serves breakfast every day and dinner as well. The food and service were excellent, with magnificent views. There's a pool at the property, and a small ferry runs across the narrow bay to a little beach in under three minutes. There are local restaurants on both sides. The ferry is free if you buy a drink or meal at Doolittles, which is right on the beach and has great views. We also saw some impressive private yachts and sailboats in the bay, including a 190-foot super yacht.

Ann and Danny were great hosts, and the staff were really friendly. Communication was clear and efficient, and someone was available throughout if I needed anything. They sorted out my transfers and an excursion too. The rooms, reception and on-site restaurant all have fantastic views, and the design feels cosy and tasteful. I liked the garden with its fruit trees as well. It's a few minutes downhill on foot, then you can catch a shuttle boat to the beach. The Villa is a great addition, with dinner prices that felt competitive. I loved my stay.

The apartments were beautifully furnished and made a great base, just minutes from Marigot Bay Beach. I loved the spectacular sea views, and the pool and sun terrace were great amenities. The hosts provided exceptional service, making the stay feel like a luxurious and memorable Caribbean getaway.
