This was my 2nd trip to St. Maarten and have to say it was just as good as my first review. The condo at La Terrasse is perfect for a couple or very close friends. I've been all around the island and prefer Maho for its nightlife and easy access to all amenities which eliminates the need for a car. It's only an $6-8 cab ride to an from the airport or you can catch the shuttle for $2 a person only taking about 5 minutes to arrive at La Terrasse. Maho Beach is only a 3 minute walk down the street while Mullet Bay Beach is about 15 minutes walk up the road. Simpson Bay is another nice beach but catching the shuttle or cab is probably your best bet for that.
The overall facilities of La Terrasse is wonderful, the pool deck is a wonderful place to relax, people watch, enjoy a drink or just soak up the sun. The building is was very clean and property well maintained. With the market, various restaurants, and shops within walking distance and resort personnel always willing help you flag a cab you don't need a car unless you want to go out on an excursion by yourself to explore the island. My only disappointment with La Terrasse is how few washing machines there were, it is a large building so if it's busy you may find it hard to get some laundry done if you stay for 10+ days like I did.
The condo itself is furnished very well with comfortable seating and bedding. I spent many days on the balcony that overlooks the pool deck and Maho Beach (where the planes land), watching the planes come in or the people getting jet blasted by them taking off. The kitchen has modern appliances and is well stocked with dishware, glasses, and utensils. The living room area furniture was clean, comfortable, and perfect to sit down and have a drink or two before strolling up Rhine Rd during the evening. Bedroom furniture was nice and new, the mattress was a memory foam which was very comfortable and makes for a good nights rest. The owners did very well to make this a convenient location, the only thing you need to bring is yourself, clothes, and some personal hygiene items.
So overall a wonderful stay with many thanks going to the owners who were very hospitable and went out of their way to ensure you had a good trip by providing a wealth of information about the condo and surrounding areas. If traveling alone or with just 1-2 people I highly recommend this location.
