This property looks amazing in the photos, and it is even better in person! Our group of 8 (ages 10-72) stayed here for a week and no one was ready to go home at the end of our stay. Claude and his wife, Monique, are the loveliest people you'd ever meet and they have thought of absolutely everything to make your stay here feel luxurious. The villa is just amazing, so beautifully built and decorated, full of gorgeous details, and absolutely pristine. It has tons of space to be together, eat together, play together, but every room, or suite, was very private as well. The kitchen is so well-appointed; they have anything that you could possibly want. The pool is gorgeous and huge...larger than some hotel pools! The yard is filled with beautiful and interesting plants, trees, and flowers. Claude spoiled us by making us paella by the pool one evening, and it was incredible. He and Monique absolutely made us feel like guests in their beautiful home. The beach truly is a 1 minute walk from the home. The waves were so fun and great for body surfing, although, we brought a life jacket for our son and we're really glad that we did. The current is quite strong at times, so just be careful.
If you are looking for an amazing property where you could create some wonderful family memories, look no further. This was our first visit to St. Maarten, and we had a wonderful time exploring the island, but even if we had stayed at Villa Tropicale the entire week, we still would have had an amazing vacation. This is just the most outstanding place we have ever stayed. Thank you so much, Claude and Monique!
