"Good customer service. Excellent restaurants."
A verified traveler stayed at Sonesta Maho Beach All Inclusive Resort Casino & Spa
"We had wonderful stay at Simpson Bay. Everyone was friendly, the resort is clean, there are many dining options, night life, and activities on the resort, and a short walking distance. They have a shuttle service that will take you a bit farther, if you need. "

"I enjoyed my stay at Oyster Bay. The staff was super friendly and the facilities were clean. There were great dining options and good daily activities. I was able to get a driver thru the front desk who became our driver the entire stay. Check out the restaurant Big Fish nearby. It was amazing."
A verified traveler stayed at Oyster Bay Beach Resort
"The staff was so friendly and helpful. All the people at the Holland House and the Dutch side of St Martaan are the same-friendly. You can feel safe while shopping and walking the boardwalk along side of the ocean. Quit spectacular."
A verified traveler stayed at Holland House Beach Hotel
"Hôtel bien entretenue. La cuisinette est complète avec la vaisselle nécessaire pour se faire de bons repas. Chambre très spacieuse. Accès facile à la plage. Bonne sélection de palapas sur la plage. Pas nécessaire de réserver des chaises longues à la plage ou à la piscine, il y en avait toujours de disponibles. Très belle vue sur la mer à partir de notre balcon. La navette est pratique pour revenir des épiceries, car très montagneux. Les chambres en montagne ne sont pas idéal pour personnes à mobilité réduite."
A verified traveler stayed at Simpson Bay Resort, Marina & Spa
"We had an awesome stay here. We stayed on the adult side, food was good, drinks were awesome, music was always good. Basically I have nothing negative to say. There’s also a ton to do around the resort "
A verified traveler stayed at Sonesta Ocean Point All Inclusive, Adults Only Resort
"From my room I could hear the music from the bar, it didn’t bother me but maybe it would other people.
The area mostly shuts down at 4/5 pm when the cruise ships leave. There are still a few restaurants and stores open.
My bed was noisy but comfy. "
