wonderful property
We had a wonderful stay at Le Papillon. The apartment was beatiful, spacious and impeccably decorated. The incredible porch ran the whole length of the apartment and looked right out onto Simpson Bay, the beach, the boats and the sunsets. The private steps down to the beach were an added bonus. Simona was a great host. We had one snafu with a grocery order that she jumped in and resolved in less than a day. We can't recommend this place enough!

Absolute Heaven!!!
The pictures don’t do the condo justice. Everything was immaculate and Simona was a pleasure to deal with. The building is super secure, the location perfect, the views to die for and the beds absolutely amazing (seriously where can one purchase these mattresses). Everything one could need is provided and this truly was a great place to call home while on island. I will definitely return again to this beautiful home!!

First time to SXM
My husband & I and our friends stayed at Le Papillon. It was in a perfect location and the pictures are exactly how the condo looks. The property manager Simona, was very pleasant and helped us when needed. It’s a perfect distance from the airport where we could see the planes come into Maho beach. It was also very nice to have drinks in the fridge when we arrived. They also let us take a look at the penthouse which we just might use our next visit! The ocean was a bit rough so we didn’t get to utilize the kayaks but those, and beach chairs, are available for use. The elevator wasn’t working the week we were there but being in the 3rd floor it helped work off all the amazing food we had on the island. We will definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful up-to date condo.

Exactly like advertised
We are yet to be disappointed it is great unit. We love breakfast on the balcony. The close proximity to all of our favorite places to eat and shop. Best of all this beach is the little hidden gem of St. Maarten. Clearwater and shade from the palm trees.

Superb stay! Great property.
The property is located right in the beach and walking distance to many amenities. The property is exactly as shown on photos. Simona, property manager and Lorraine, housekeeper, always available to answer queries. We truly enjoyed our stay. The only suggestion I would make is the installation of a ceiling fan on the terrace as it can get real warm with the afternoon sun. Thanks

Great stay on a great island
Everything that you would need is in this condo unit. Great location great beach front great patio. The beds were very comfortable the bathrooms were very nice great rain shower head. We intend on coming back and staying in this unit. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. But now we found our new spot on a great island. We could not be more thrilled with the location. We spent much less time in the car than other years. Do everything that we needed was a short trip instead of a long trip.
