Sint Eustatius inn - accommodation at quality standards
Imagine Caribbean life in the 17th Century. Tall ships anchoring in Gallows Bay bringing out and loading all kinds of cargo brought in from throughout the West Indies and the New World, like rum, spices, cotton, indigo, silver and gold. Merchant's bustling and hassling in the narrow street of Lower Town amidst the warehouses that were build from cobblestones and lime. The Planters in their houses overlooking the sugar and tobacco fields on the upper town and sipping chilled gin in the late afternoon. For years the premier resort of Statia, The Old Gin House is a historic landmark. The inn is a faithful reconstruction of an 18th-century building that once housed a cotton gin. The bricks that went into the construction were once used by sailing ships as ballast. Surrounded by tropical gardens, including palms and bougainvillea, the hotel enjoys a central but tranquil location. All the good-size bedrooms are comfortably furnished, with queen-size beds, direct-dial phones, and restored shower-only bathrooms. Facilities include 2 restaurants; 2 bars; outdoor pool; dive shop (across the street); babysitting; laundry service. It's all about you. From the minute you arrive from the Airport you will feel at home. The Gin House is a luxury Inn within an informal setting in which you decide what and when to do. The staff is there to assist you and arrange excursions or make that perfect Pina Colada for when you're relaxing at our fresh water pool or ocean front Patio. The Lobby features comfortable chairs and is an elegant place to relax, have a drink or read a favorite book out of the midday sun. Around the Pool we have teak furniture and hammocks to relax and work on your tan. Fourteen Garden View rooms have a view on the Pool and are styled with 17 Century robust furniture that represent colonial times. Of course equipped with modern day amenities such as cable TV, direct dial phones and bathrooms with large walk in showers. All rooms offer the choice of Air-conditioning or a ceiling fan and tropical breeze to comfort you while dreaming of all the beautiful things you encounter in life. Two Ocean view rooms are available for those enjoying being nearest to the water. From the balcony you can literally see the fish swimming in the waters. These rooms are housed in a renovated building and feature the same amenities as the Garden View rooms. Two One bedroom suites offer superb Caribbean luxury. Located at the waterfront these suites are extensively decorated with fine furniture and feature a separate living room, bedroom, large bathroom with bath and separate walk in shower, study, large balcony, fridge, air-conditioning, cable TV, DVD and direct dial cordless phones.
