I like the location for dinning options as well as grocery shopping easily within walking distance. Even more are being built right now. Jewels tries very hard to make your stay a good one. Would definitely stay there again. We stayed 2 weeks.

Great stay! Jules is very friendly and the room was clean and comfortable with all you need. We especially appreciated the convenience of the location, which has parking, and its proximity to carrefour and many of the activities we wanted to do. The kitchen is a nice feature, bed is comfortable, AC strong and the shower pressure is good. We certainly hope to return soon! It was excellent!

The property was very nice and clean. Jules the host was very nice and accommodating. Everything you need was accounted for. We didn’t want to drive for dinner and only found two options that were walkable.

My room was lovely. The road leading from main road to property needs major repairing.

Very clean and modern. Comfortable. No dining or other amenities nearby. Best to have a rental car if you stay here.

The owner/manager who lives on the premises is always readily available and helpful. The real advantage of Diamond Gem, so long as you have a room with a kitchenette, is the super well stocked Carrefour just across the road. For a supermarket it has great food, much of it imported from France. Expensive but very good.
Very clean, low-key and convenient room. Owner is on-site and was very accommodating.

The unit we stayed in was very clean and spacious and so comfortable. The inn’s location was quiet but with only a short drive you will arrive at many restaurants, shopping and beaches. The host was so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Would highly recommend and we would definitely return.

Property and room were impeccable. Jules (property management and owner) is amazing, accessible, very helpful and accommodating.
Room was very clean, everything is working as expected. Comfortable huge king size bed.
Property location is very close to amanitas and easy access to either side of the island.
My only take on the room, is that space to move around is very tight. A queen bed instead of king would create more space to move around.

Good location to get around the island. Need a car though, limited food options nearby but 5-10 minute drive away. Main road very busy during morning and evening rush hours. If looking for a beach and dining a short walk away this is not it. Jules the owner or manager was excellent with getting anything you need and accommodate you any way he could. Thanks Jules

Well priced property. We had booked a single room but we switched to a 1 bedroom. Be careful in choosing this property. This is near town and grocery stores but beach and recreation is far and traffic in this area is very bad most of the time. No pool or other services are available.

This is a hidden gem c!ose to the airport. Jules is #1 on pre-arrival communication, friendliness, and helpfulness when you arrive. I wish we had time to stay there longer; definitely will next trip.

I booked last minute and I didn't get the instructions to enter the property but the owner was very nice and he helped me with everything I asked. Even though the beach is not close, the property was one block from a main road where you could easily pick up a taxi or the public bus either to Marigot (french part) or Philipsburg (dutch part) and move around from there. Nice and confortable room, also near a supermarket. Would definitely stay there again!

Our stay was wonderful. I was the most happy with the fact that we were able to upgrade the room once we got here. However, the room didn't have time to be cleaned, but we managed. The laundry system was down which meant we couldn't wash our clothes. This is the second time we stayed here, but was far better than the first.
