My husband and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary at Captain Oliver's. We had seen it years ago and felt it would be a great place to stay for a couple of nights before our trip over to St. Barts. The view from our villa was beyond belief and the room was huge. The shower could have been hotter, and... More

Captain Oliver's is an enchanting place. If you are looking for island charm, you will find it. Kittens, chickens, well kept flowers in a desert climate, are just a few of the gems. If you want a canned resort go elsewhere. The staff especially front desk will do anything to help the guests. The Saturday nite buffet is ONLY accented... More

Captain Oliver's is in rough condition. It needs updating; however, it is in a wonderful location with easy access to great beaches. The staff is friendly and accommodating. We have stayed there many times and have just become comfortable with the location.

We wanted to extend our stay more than once at St MMaarten and discovered Capt Oliver's near Dawn Beach across the inlet. We loved it. A small resort within a 5 min walk to several good restaurants. A free shuttle boat to Dawn Beach got us as close to the beach as using our car.and was quicker, too. Infinity pool... More

I stayed at Captain Oliver's for a few days in late December 2012. This resort is in a very good area of the island, positioned directly on the border of French Saint Martin, and the Dutch side on Oyster Pond. I booked this hotel based on comments from this travel forum and agree securing a car is quite beneficial. This... More

Pros: Staff is very friendly. People at the reception have a " can do" attitude. Best asset that they have. Good location. Cons: very old, needs remodelation. Shower was occidated and stunk. Cable tv was never working. Tv was so old that was always making noises. Tons of mosquitoes! Hotel has potential.

I stayed in Captain Olivers 5 years ago, and it was a quaint, little place, however I was EXTREMELY dissapointed on this visit. The villas are no longer surrounded by flowers but are surrounded by broken down buildings and the awful smell of garbage- Which when I inquired about it.. I was told by the desk clerk, and I quote... More

We went to Captain Oliver's for honeymoon in February and loved the ocean front deluxe room that was big and clean. The large corner terrace with interesting ocean front view soothed us with the sound of lapping waves and gave us a nice landscape to look at. Because it's a marina with amenities such as a bar and a restaurant,... More

our sailing vacation began with a night at this property, room was very dirty, wonder if it had been cleaned in months, price point for this property very high if it had been cleaned, we found other quality properties nearby that were less expensive. staff seem unconcerned about our needs
