“Great place if you don't need luxury”
The owner and personnel are really nice people, explaining everything, good sense of humour (at least I thought so as a Dutchman), the accommodation is on top of a hill, so it's quiet with lots of wildlife around and provides great ocean and mountain views from the cabin. Because it's on a hill, you automatically get some decent excersise after having dinner or drinks in town. I felt quite fit after a few days. You take drinks from the fridge based on trust and the location near Windwardside is very convenient. The owner checks after booking that you know what kind of accommodation you have booked, because it's not the right fit for people who want luxury. The shower was surprisingly good though, and it's the back to basic hostel like atmosphere and the setting of the place that also make it good.

“Outstanding place with a view”
Outstanding place in all aspects. Got the highest possible chalet with the view. Couple more steps (actually a few more couples) to reach it gave us perfect view (and a bit stronger legs). Friendly personal and Saba all around. Suggest definitely.

“My stay in Saba was peaceful and scenic, with breathtaking views and unique charm”
I really loved the stunning view and the charm of the small cottages, which offer a unique sense of privacy. It’s refreshing not to feel like we’re all in a crowded, standardized setup—such individuality is so important during a vacation. The peaceful silence was incredibly soothing and relaxing.

The view is breathtaking and the room is big and comfortable. There's a wonderful balcony (at least in my room), and the pool view is almost the same. The pictures are accurate, and the hotel is in a quiet location. The bathroom is outside but that didn't make any difference to me, even in the night. There was a completely equipped kitchen in the room I was. stay here if you love hiking and don't mind the stairs. if you have any accessibility issues, don't.

“An idealistic romantic getaway”
Picturesque and quaint. The view is breathtaking. The quiet from nature during the day was numbing, but during the night, the jungle came alive. You come close to nature and a lot of privacy, even from the other guests.

“Terrible hotel on a beautiful island”
After a long climb, the first thing you see of the hotel is a squalid open space that looks like a construction site. My wooden cabin was very sad and had dirty walls. Even though it was August, it was as if the hotel was undergoing renovation. Saba is really beautiful and almost all the buildings on the island are nice and well-kept, so the difference with El Momo Cottages is even more striking. In conclusion, I left after the first night of stay.

“Enjoyed the stay, l would return.”
Breakfast was simple and enjoyable. Sitting, listening, looking at the birds and being able to look at the sea was a pleasure for me. I like the name of the Bar, "honesty Bar". I still smile whenever l think about it.
