Very quiet spa hotel. Good for relaxing I suppose but not much else. Not much going on on the hotel grounds. The beach is subpar.
The on-site restaurants are decent (there are only a few - 1 open full time, 2 bars, and 1 open only part time) but not great. I wasn’t impressed with the food. The service was great, though. My biggest gripe was the fact that the local birds are allowed to hop all over the outdoor tables (on the silverware!!) which is so unsanitary!
The on-site store is also quite bare. You can’t even buy a beach towel.
Lastly, the power went out for 30 minutes on our last night there. It was not acknowledged, nor was compensation offered, until we asked and pushed for it.
Overall, 3/5 stars, I most likely won’t be coming back to this hotel, although I will certainly be back to the island, as St Maarten is BEAUTIFUL and I enjoyed my time.
(The Marriott location in St Kitts is a MUCH better experience. I also liked the Negril location in Jamaica. )
