El Momo Cottages

Beautiful views, rustic cottages, unplugged from everything. Lots of stairs, that was expected and added to the adventure. Beautiful pool. No mosquitos for us which was great. We stated in Cottage in the sky, great little kitchen, we cooked every day. But breakfast and the honor bar were really nice. Very romantic visit, occasionally accompanied by the neighbors dogs barkig. , but Andries is working out a compromise with them to keep that down. The owners are really nice, Andries is a natural and hardworking innkeeper. Make sure to pick his brain for places to eat (all were good), and use taxis, the drivers are great tourguides.

We loved our time at El Momo!! Andries is an absolute hoot and he and his partner took such good care of us! The views from the cottages (even from our shower!) are absolutely breathtaking. The breakfasts they provide are delicious. Everyone we met staying there was friendly. Definitely for the bit more adventurous type because of the outdoor feel and the climb to get there, but it's worth it! And they come in and clean your cottages which was such a nice treat! 10/10 recommend staying at El Momo!

Fantastic spot that lives up to the advertised peace and silence. The breakfast is delicious and homemade to order with local ingredients, and the hotel owners' service was attentive and easy. Just a heads up you should be comfortable with about 50 stairs to get to the hotel if you're going to stay here.

Basic but clean cabinets. Friendly and welcome atmosphere. The hosts Andries and Eva are helpful. The stairs up to El Momo are not a con but a plus. This will give you to a fantastic panorama view and a change to see beautiful sunsets. Tip: order scrambled eggs for breakfast.

We wanted to visit Saba as part of a month long trip in this part of the Caribbean but weren’t sure we could do it affordably. However, our cottage accommodation at El Momo did the trick. Within our price range and allowed us to cook our own meals. OK, we almost died lugging our way too heavy suitcases up the 67 steps but WoW, the view alone is totally worth it. The property is lovely. We stayed in ‘Turtle’ and it felt almost like camping. Deck has a million dollar view, there are comfy beds, loads of places to hang your belongings, bedside tables with reading lights & a mosquito net (we didn’t need). The kitchen is rustic but fully equipped. Pool is little but so refreshing. We will miss the outdoor shower with sunset view. Wifi worked perfectly! We drank the water, after it being filtered by the Brita. There is a lending library, honesty bar and breakfast is available if you wish. We appreciated the loan of the hiking guide and poles while we were there for the week. Also, the cat is friendly:-) Hikes are awesome! The owners work REALLY hard and it shows. Thanks Andries! Our only suggestions are: add a ceiling fan in the bedroom and some hammocks on the property. Also, as you will have the windows open for the lovely be aware that there is a LOT of neighbourhood barking dogs and crowing roosters at ALL hours. It’s definitely not always peaceful. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend.

So much adventure! El Momo was awesome. So friendly and helpful. Felt like I was friends with the cab driver after the week. Hiking, snorkeling, food, rum and scenery were all great. Best trip I ever had. Thank you Andries and El Momo.
