It only takes a couple of minutes to get to Dawn Beach via the free taxi. On calm days, the beach is great for snorkeling, and on windy days there's nice wave action, good for body surfing. A freshwater pool is also on site. A sandy area in front of the hotel with tikis and hammocks is available for hotel guests.
Captain Oliver's is also home to exotic birds, sharks, turtles, and other creatures. The birds often greet guests crossing the International Bridge entrance to Captain Oliver's restaurant, which serves fresh seafood and French and Creole cuisine. The sharks, turtles, tarpon, and other native marine species live in a natural aquarium under the restaurant's glass floor. The Quai Ouest Restaurant and Bar, on the hillside overlooking the marina, is family operated and features authentic Italian cuisine. The Dinghy Dock Bar and Restaurant on the marina is famous for its happy hour from 5 pm to 7 pm where guests get to mix their own drinks for just $2. The hotel also offers sailing charters to nearby uninhabited islands, and the ferry to St. Barths departs directly from Captain Oliver's Marina.

Sailing with Moorings St Martin
The hotel is very convenient to Moorings base. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The room was spacious. Bathroom was clean...the facilities could use some updating, but nothing was bad. The restaurant was not as good as the little bar down the pier...not clear what they aim for with it.

SMX Weekend Escape
Capt Oiver's is a great value hotel that provides a great location for those that prefer the east side of SMX and are renting a car. It is a small hotel with a nice, relaxed marina atmosphere. The restaurant has good dining situated along the mariana dock, but the wait staff have the typical caribbean, laissez-faire service. My room was clean and quiet. SMX currently has significant road construction near the west side of Philipsburg, so traffic along the south side of the island was heavily jammed both on my way to the hotel and back to the airport. In my long weekend trip, I was content to be on the east side beaches for the duration and avoided the traffic concern. From the hotel, it is a short drive north to Baje Orientale or south to Philipsburg. For me, it was great mid-point location for a great price.

The Getaway Spot away from the Madness
Went to the beach, dine and enjoyed happy hour. What would have made my stay more enjoyable if they had taken better control of the mosquitoes and the room needed to be cool. Somehow the air conditioners seemed to blow hot air so I couldn't sleep. The food was superb compared to other hotels and the waitress and bartenders were so nice.

Not 4 Star
This hotel advertises itself at 4 star, but it's really 1 or 2 star. The entire facility is way overdue for a complete renovation. Everything is showing wear and tear. The best thing it has going is its location at the Oyster Pond Marina. If you're chartering a boat, it is very convenient, and only steps away from the docks. The pool is nice and the staff is friendly enough- just the rooms need a complete re-do. I can't imagine staying more than 1 or 2 nights.

This is no 4 star resort!
We stayed here 1 night prior to departing on a Moorings sail. The bathrooms are very old, small and have never been renovated. Service is bland if not non existant. Pool furniture is in need of replacement. This is simply not a 4 star resort. I'd be generous in giving them a 2 AAA star rating.

Great rooms with a/c!!
Rooms were great with a nice view! However the "bars and restaurants" claimed by the resort were lackluster and were kinda disappointing.
