Saba Arawak Hotel

It was ok.

The location was great! It is right next to the entry to Mt. Scenery and the quaint town of Winwardside. Our hotel room was super clean and had everything we needed. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great Hotel, close to main town for tourists purposes. Helpful staff! Because our ferry was in the evening, and we had a child, they allowed us a late check out, free of charge! Thanks a lot for that!

The kitchenette had no sink washing dishes in the bathroom sink proved difficult. You cannot use the balcony unless you turn the air conditioner off because the big air conditioner unit on the balconies blows hot air. The bathroom sink was plugged up the first day, but it was corrected promptly by removing the drain stopper apparently by using one of the kitchen knives, which was then left, bent and dirty On the bathroom sink.

Travelling to Saba was on our "bucket list". We knew where it was but not much else. This is a small island and not a resort experience. If you like to hike then this is the place. Same with diving. Leave your expectations at home. We stayed at the Arawak Hotel for 4 nights in late October. We had a one bedroom with a partial kitchen. The location was great, the view fantastic, and the Hotel quaint. The Arawak is being upgraded constantly but supplies are hard to get on Saba, so be patient. The owner is doing a great job, helpful, and very pleasant. If you are missing anything in the kitchen or your room, just ask. Yes, it is a 2 star hotel but a 5 star experience. The main hiking trail is about 300metres for the Hotel. Getting to the top of the mountain in the cloud forest is well worth it. Take a picnic, you won't be disappointed. The nearest town is a 1km walk, and has 2 grocery stores, restaurants and bars. You can get to the Arawak by ferry or plane. The thrill of landing on the shortest commercial runway in the world is a must. Taking off is exceptional, especially when Hurricane Tammy was arriving the next day!!!! If you are going to Saint Maarten, then don't miss out on Saba.

Good location, walking distance to town, with a nice pool and views. It’s definitely being run on a shoestring which really drags it down. Linens are threadbare and outdated, water went out (and when we had water it wasn’t always hot) and wifi was spotty.

Quite clean, short walk to windward, bedding could stand upgrading
