Preislich ok.
Pros:

Ein Hostel mit privaten Räumen halt. Preis ist für SXM ok. Beide Gemeinschaftsbäder recht sauber. Großer kostenloser Parkplatz 3 Minuten entfernt. Wer Angst vor Hunden hat, sollte nicht buchen. 15 Gehminuten nach Marigot zum Hafen

Cons:

Zugang durch das Vorhängesc
hloß am Eingang sehr nervig. Ab und an Hundegebell. Keine Klima, nur Ventilator und wenn man die Tür dazu noch auf läßt, kommen Mücken.

If you are okay with a quiet hostel atmosphere then this place is great!
Pros:

The small common outdoor area is nice. The hostel is right on the channel so you can watch boat traffic as it comes in from the bay to the lagoon. You can eat at the tables or have drinks on the concrete wall. There is even a hammock, perfect for watching sunsets. There is a communal kitchen or just next store is pizza chef (but we did not try it). The 2 dogs on the property are super friendly .

Cons:

As advertised, Shrimpy's is more hostel than hotel. This was fine for us and this is a comment is not a complaint. The room had a bunk bed and shelving unit and a fan but on the small side and not well lit. Our room is not where we spent our time. The shared bathroom was fine but there were few other guests during our stay.

simple et reposant.
Pros:

J'ai vraiment adoré le quai où on pouvait s'asseoir et regarder les bateaux passer, faire de nouvelles rencontres, la vue était vraiment charmante. C'est un endroit très simple, mais parfait. J'ai aussi eu un coup de coeur pour les deux chiens, tellement adorable! Si je devais revenir à Saint-Martin, je reviendrai vivre là sans aucune hésitation.

Pros:

I liked the view of the patio, and the staff was kind.

Cons:

There were a lot of mosquitoes, no a/c (just a fan), and the location was not the safest. There was no hot water, and parking was a hassle, due to limited space.

Pros:

The owner, Michael, is extremely accommodating. He is very knowledgeable about the Island and how to get around. My room was clean, the sheets seemed starched, with clean pillow cases. I really enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the boats float by. The people there are nice, as well.

Cons:

There wasn't anything I didn't enjoy. Well worth the price.
