central and safe


The staff were wonderful and try to make me comfortable. It is a very convenient place to get two shops and even more important to take local transportation to and from the airport and just about anywhere. Nadia was wonderful. She loves to hear about you as a guest and truly makes you feel comfortable. I recommend it to everyone who wants a very convenient and economical place to rest

The real adventure: Josuhua Rose Guest House


In the nineteen eighties, it was common to see the average tourist, genuinely interacting with islanders. Then came all-inclusives (and the fear and coercion inspired by ubiquitous news networks), and we all stampeded to sterile resorts. Today, if you want to plan your own vacation, wake up on your own time, manage your diet, catch a bus to Marigot, for the St. Bart's ferry, or to Maho for a beautiful walk on the beach, if you want to sample the best St. Maarten barbecue, Joshua Rose Guest House is the place for you. If you want to stay around people who look, think, and consume exactly what you do, if you want to be waited on hand and foot, only to return home without having seen the authentic St. Maarten, by public transit--then you're missing the Joshua Rose experience. I highly recommend this guest house. My children experienced the 'working man's vacation,' and the 'Back Street posse,' was extremely helpful, very friendly. As one resident insisted, "You're in St. Maarten! Never a problem." Nadia at the Joshua Rose front desk is very friendly. Please extend thanks.

Decent place to stay


Rooms and bathroom are dated, but everything works and is clean. Wifi worked great, and so did the air conditioner. Good location to stay if you want to be down town Philipsburg.

I will would stay there any time I go to SXM


I stayed there to times and I felt the same, its close to all the shopping complex and very confortable for a getaway, Me and my friends stayed there for one week and the second time I went for the Christmas holiday and I felt welcome by everyone. One of the nights I got in there at 9:00 pm and my room was left for me and the rates are good for what you get in the room, most hotels you have to request a mini bar but there everything is there for you.

Friendly staff & excellent location


A 2 minute walk from the beach and boardwalk, Joshua Rose Guesthouse is perfectly placed at the entrance to Back Street, an easy place to catch a bus or a taxi. Unlike most luxury resorts, this guesthouse is family run and has the charm of a Florida beach hotel from the 1980's in the heart of the Carribean. There is nothing to complain about, the price is decent, rooms are air conditionned with free Wifi and the location is perfect. One of the great secret places in SXM.

Best Vacation I’ve ever had


I went on my first solo vacation . I had an amazing time . Nadia , George & Julian Gumbs, owners of the Guesthouse as well as the mini super market / liquor store located underneath the guesthouse , make you feel like you are right at home. I have stayed here before in the past with my family. It’s right smack dab in the middle of Philipsburg . One minute walk to the beach and boardwalk. Surrounded by delicious local food as well as bigger restaurants . Grab a beer at the Guesthouse and have a chat with locals to see about any events or parties. Extremely helpful with how to get places and what buses to take . This place is very special to me . It’s not fancy by any means but if you want an affordable place to sleep and be out at the beach and exploring the island everyday - this is it .
