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.
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.
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.
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
The property is nice and quiet and close to airport, shopping and dining options.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
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.
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.
Diamond Gem is a local apt-hotel in a residential area. No swanky lobby or grounds if you’re looking for that but it carries the charm of St Maarten. Clean room with kitchenette area and separate shower/bathroom. Air-conditioning worked nicely. Very comfy King-size bed. Fluffy towels. (Bring own personal toiletries like soap & shampoo.)
Arrival - communicated via Expedia app. Host - Jules James - arrived shortly after we messaged our arrival to let us in our room and get us sorted with WiFi, etc. Lovely warm welcome. Gave us information about local Carrefour supermarket and eateries (Bamboo House is a MUST … thanks for the suggestion, Jules!), as well as his direct contact info in case of any other needs. Would stay again.
Great location, great price, friendly and helpful owner/manager, clean, comfortable, easy access to airport, French side of SXM and a great restaurant up the hill.
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!
The room we stayed in was super clean and it was in a great location. It was close to everything you needed. A walk to the grocery store, and a couple minute car ride to the beach. But the owner, Jules, is what made our stay the best! He is so kind and is always making sure you’re having a good time and happy with how everything is going. If you need to know anything about the island, he is a wealth of knowledge. We will definitely be staying here again!
