Your adventure begins here. Explore one of the last hidden secrets in the Caribbean! Combining comfort, fun and relaxation, Golden Rock Resort offers guests an authentic experience with a touch of adventure. 32 rooms and suites range from 40- 80 sq meters (130 - 260sqft) including modern finishes and unparalleled ocean views. Beyond the stunning accommodations, the hotel offers an oasis of immaculate gardens beaming with colorful flowers that allow guests to enjoy a relaxing stroll and explore the hotel’s 40-acres (16 hectares) of oceanfront land. The Island One of the last hidden secrets in the Caribbean, St. Eustatius, is a tiny Dutch island dominated by the Quill, a dormant volcano providing breathtaking hiking trails along the ocean, through local rainforest and around it’s crater. Offshore, St. Eustatius National Marine Park's dive sites are considered as one of the best five diving spots in the Caribbean offering a vast range of coral reefs and shipwrecks. Discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493, the island was then claimed 22 times by different European empires over the following 150 years before remaining in Dutch territory. In 1756, the port town of Oranjestad was claimed as a free port with no customs duties, making it a major point for the transshipment of goods and earning the island the nickname of the ‘Golden Rock’. The island played an important role in the American War of Independence, and, in 1776, the dutch Commander of St Eustatius chose to salute the Andrew Doria merchant ship and thus recognize the independence for the newly formed American nation. Canons were ceremoniously fired from Fort Oranje to show respect to the visiting Americans. This historic event is now known as the ‘first salute.' The importance of the act was recognized 150 years later in 1939 by the visiting U.S. President F.D. Roosevelt, who had ancestral links to The Netherlands. Todays, St. Eustatius enjoys an open-air museum-like feel with artifacts from the 18th century weapon sales and colonial architecture.
Brand new spectacular resort in Statia, the staff is so welcoming and made me feel at home. Everything is designed so beautifully with care, the food is divine and the people are so caring. I loved the shuttle service and local tour (included in rate). Thank you Hildo, Shanarda and all of the staff for making my vacation so sweet! I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Statia, it's modern, elegant, relaxing, everything you need in a vacation !

Splendidly located on the south side of the Island, in a tropical garden with a panoramic view of the Caribbean Sea. For your peace and convenience, Statia Lodge has just 8 Hibiscus bungalows for dual occupancy and 2 Bougainvilla bungalows for four people, great for families. Our beautiful fresh water swimming pool & club house overlook the ocean. Each well appointed bungalow has a private terrace with ocean view, bedroom with a fan and a fully equipped bathroom.
Stayed for six nights in the bungalow called Venus Bay. The bungalows are cleaned every day, the floors swept and dirty towels replaced Included in the rate is breakfast which is done at the pool area and over our time included scrambled eggs, bacon, omelettes, thick pancakes / flapjacks, toast and coffee. The cooking facilities in the bungalow includes an electric two ring hob but no oven or microwave. There is BBQ and hot plate at eh pool kitchen that you can use. We found that we ate a lot of salads and fried a piece of steak or chicken. Nice pool to cool off in and lots of comfortable chairs, loungers and sofa’s to use. Lots of shade for those who do not want too much sun. There is good quality WiFi access throughout the property. Also hired a car through Statia Lodge which was waiting at the airport - made all our arrangements through booking.com.

Beautifully located on Orange Bay, Lower Town, Oranjestad and a hike away from the Quill Volcano, the highest point on Statia with panoramic views over the entire island and neighboring islands, the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. The intimate hotel convinces with its charming, elegant and cozy ambiance, where guests can find peace and pure relaxation without any unnecessary additions. The restaurant offers a diversified gastronomic experience accompanied by stunning ocean views. The Old Gin House is conveniently located on Orange Bay, right next to Scubaqua Dive Center in a quiet and historical area.
The Old Gin House is wonderful. It is convenient to the 2 dive shops on the island and has a friendly helpful staff that makes things right. The restaurant servers more meat that I would like but there is always a catch of the day. We shall return. Remember it is small island and everyone need to make a living from the taxi drivers to the dive shop operators.
