I spent my first week at the TShell Inn in '09 and just returned from another great week in '12. Both times my visit was for pleasure and I highly recommend this Inn. It's within walking distant to restaurants, grocery stores, fun shops and a half block from the beach. The pool is great and right outside your front door.... More

If you are looking for a place that can be your "home away from home" while in St. Maartens, then I highly recommend the Turquoise Shell Inn. The accomodations were quite comfortable, the inn is steps away from the beach, and grocery stores, restaurants, and bars were all quite close and easily within walking difference. Upon arrival, Carter, the owner/manager... More

I stayed here on business. If your involved with the super yachts then this is a good reasonable place to stay and with in walking distance of the Marina so perfect. Walk out the back and your right on a lovely sandy beach. Carter runs the place very helpful and always around to assist if you need anything. I liked... More

If I am being honest, when we first pulled in, I thought, Oh my God. I was a little nervous - then I reminded myself - be openminded. I am glad I was! The Inn is off the road, behind some buildings. BUT, that is what made it great in the end. Nice place - great people! The air worked... More

We appreciate honest reviews like this one. Our "entrance" is actually a public road, poorly maintained by St Maarten. Once inside the property WE are in control and try our best to give our guests a great stay. More

We arrived early evening(stayed 7 nights) and checked in with the owner's sister(covering for Carter) which flowed smoothly and she gave us a quick tour/answered our questions.. This included the back up plan in case electricity went out. We loved the location due to proximity to grocery stores/restaurants/bars etc.. We never did use the stove because of the great restaurants... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights during a marine industry networking event in Jan 2012. As a customer service professional I can say the Carter does an excellent job at managing the property and interacting with the guests. Informative, helpful, and professional. The location is great, with beach access and centrally located to the restaurants, bars, and... More

The Turquoise Shell Inn was clean, convenient,and friendly. Carter is the consummate inn-keeper- concierge. We recently stayed overnight twice on our to and from Anguilla. The TSI is only a 5 minute walk to the Simpson Bay dock andthe GB express or $20 to Marigot. Our arrival was delayed on our trip down, but Carter was up and watching for... More

My wife and I arrived at TSI on December 20, 2011. We were armed with plenty of pre arrival directions and touring hints provided by Carter, the owner. It is obvious he cherishes his business and his clients through the continuous attention to detail offered to his guests. The rooms and amenities are well and accurately reported on throughout this... More

I just spent 13 nights at the TShell Inn. It is the perfect place for me. I like to stay on this side of the Island so the location is great. There are great places to eat within walking distance and I also love having the ability to cook my own meal if I want. It's also a short walk... More
