Papaya Inn

Sint Eustatius


Juliette's little oasis of charm is a rambling villa near the airport where rooms pair homey flair, tiled floors and cooking facilities with distinctive assets. Room 1, for example, has a secluded patio, while room 4 comes with its own deck. The communal garden is nice for chilling and meeting fellow travelers. Rates include a big breakfast served alfresco.
