Not bad, not great . Ok for a budget travelers. Great location, great breakfast buffet. Older decor and needs to be updated. Short boat trip to St. Barth is a Big advantage! Internet Only in the main lobby. So, you must bring your laptop and sit on the sofa:)) Again, hote for budget travelers ! Enjoy:)

My husband and I spent a wonderful two weeks at Captain Oliver’s in March 2012. This was the fourth time we’ve stayed there and have never been disappointed. Each time we’ve had a spacious, island-style, ocean facing unit with a balcony overlooking the entrance to the marina. We’ve always included the breakfast buffet which is optional. Our routine each morning... More

I recently spent 4 nights at this resort in Oyster Pond. My boyfriend and I had stayed in that area before and enjoyed the location - but note, I would recommend a car if you want to explore much. The rooms were lovely, nice views - not the newest bathrooms, but well kept, and the cleaning staff were really great.... More

My wife and I booked a marina view room for two nights in March 2012 before joining a cruise ship to cross the Atlantic. Our time in Captain Oliver's was the low point of a fabulous holiday. It is beyond me how other reviewers can rave about this place. It is run down and truly terrible. It cannot possibly be... More

We stayed at Captain Oliver's Resort again as our resort of choice on the island. We have stayed here for the last several years, and consider the resort and the staff like our St Martin family. We had an ocean view room..with porch looking out from the marina inlet to the ocean. Coffee each morning on your own porch before... More

We returned to Captain Olivers for our 8th visit. We were greeted at the reception with our bags taken to our room. When I tried to tip the person, he graciously declined. Very impressive. We pay for an ocean view room. Ours had a nice view of the water and St. Barths. As usual, the restaurant staff was wondeful. The... More

My wife and I stayed at Captain Oliver's for a week in February. The accommodation were everything promised. The ocean front rooms were great, spacious and just in front of the bay which made a morning or afternoon swim in the ocean easy. The restaurant faces the marina and breakfast was a delight, well stocked, and tasty. Evening meals were... More

Very out of the way of the louder parts of the island. Staff is very friendly and accomodating. Very nice little beach (not sand beach but a pier you can access the water via). Free shuttle to a great snorkeling site. Great restaurants and grocery store within walking distance. Marina view rooms are very clean and well air-conditioned. Good in-resort... More

Stayed in marina view room; clean, spacious, but crummy bed (too hard and lumpy). View ok, the ocean view is better. Electrical current 220 - couldn't use everything we brought without frying them, and adapters worked only on a few things. The staff was accommodating and easy to work with. I discovered that there is a legal battle going on... More

Everyone has different needs & expectations for a vacation. This fit ours perfectly. Having travelled to almost all of the De Ilons in the Caribbean, we have a few rules. No elevators, No tents. Just back from two weeks at Captain Olivers's and we could not be more pleased. The Ocean View room was very comfortable with perhaps the biggest... More
