Nature lovers who enjoy priceless amenities of tropical flowers, palm trees and hammocks overlooking a deep blue sea and warm hospitality will find El Momo to be the perfect retreat. It's small, quiet, charming and a little "Robinson Crusoe like"; A little piece of paradise where time moves slowly and attention is paid to details. We have breathtaking sea views and fantastic ocean sunsets from October to March. more » « less

Saba is a real treasure of an island and our stay at El Momo with Andries and Marieke was super. The atmosphere around El Momo is relaxed, inviting and friendly. We had the pleasure of spending our honeymoon in the "cottage in the sky" and loved it. Privacy and solitude were abundant, yet local shops and restaurants are a short... more

We have been traveling around the Caribbean for the past two months, and El Momo is by far the best place we have stayed. The rooms are comfortable with breathtaking views, and Saba is an incredible island. There is a wonderful breeze up on the hill, and sometimes we even got chilly at night. By far the best part of... more

Hey there, we really enjoyed the cottage we had at El Momo our cottage was the Iguana cottage, and guess what, we had a couple of iguanas sharing our sun deck Andries (the owner) is really a man to know on the island, everything he arranged for us (like finding a restaurant) was perfect, he was a great help and... more

Searching for a rustic Caribbean experience seemed daunting to us. We didn't want a vacation where we languished on the beach sipping Pina Coladas. No fear. The volcanic Island of Saba has no beaches--but plenty of rugged hiking, diving & snorkeling, breathtaking scenery, delicious food, and peaceful people. No hawking of beads & braids here. And when my husband became... more

I stayed at El Momo for a five-day visit in mid-January. The owners were very obliging and prompt to book my stay over email, including a (somewhat overpriced) airport transport from a friendly man named George. The property is as advertised- secluded, peaceful, beautiful, with rather spartan rooms and healthy breakfasts. I thought the prices were fair given the generally... more

We were absolutely enchanted by the charming tropical and secluded feel of the life at El Momo. It was simple living but completely adequate and extremely relaxing. Great hiking up and down Saba's steep roads and trails. No need for a rented car, just use taxis and walk. The extreme walking is the best part, very renewing, and very relaxing... more

El Momo cottages are perfect for anyone wanting an escape from the trappings of modern life. Go there and you will always want to go back. Make sure you attend one of their communal dinners. more

El Momo Cottages was my first stop on the breath-taking island of Saba. Although very few people have heard of Saba it is well known among divers as being one of the best dive destinations in the world. I believe Saba is truly one of the Caribbean’s best kept secrets and would rate the island as number one for anyone... more

The view, the frogs singing at night, the cool breeze through the windows, the peace, comfort, and safety. This is what we enjoyed so much about El Momo on Saba. Oliver and Angelica are the best! The kids are great, their pets are well behaved. What a special family to allow others a peek into their perfect peacful island lives!... more

We had a wonderful 3 days on the green rock. After a week in St. Maarten, Saba felt like an enormous departure from so called "friendly island". Saba was far more friendly and stunningly beautiful. Visiting Saba was like visiting the neighborhood that your parents and grandparents lived in for 80+ years. Everyone treats you like family, you can leave... more
