Will not go back to this Hotel
I have been to ST. Maarten several times. I will go back but will chose to stay at Sonesta Maho instead. Much better Hotel. More Restaraunt selections. Closer to Simpson bay. Great Bay Sonesta phones didn’t work properly. TV cable was very poor when you just wanted to Relax in the evening. There wasn’t much night activity. We were told it wasn’t safe in Phillipsburgh at night. Only 2 Restaraunts to chose from and one was only open Friday,saturday & Sunday. You were pretty much confined. At lest get better TV stations.

They were overwhelmed at high season
Nice hotel but they charge for almost every additonal service. Simpson’s Bay or Maho would be a better choice on the Dutch side. The french side is more quaint. Love St. Maarten/St. Martin though.
