St. Marie Vacations from $807

Clean room and staff are friendly.

The property was very nice and clean. The rooms are spacious, clean and stylish. I do wish the room had a balcony. The food at the restaurant and the cocktails were some of the best I’ve ever had. The gym facility was small and the equipment a bit worn with not many free weights. I didn’t get to take a dip in the pool but it looked like a very nice area to relax. The proximity to the beach was the highlight of this accomodation, just a quick walk through the parking lot. The entrance fee and lounge chair rental are included in the lodging fee so that saves quite a bit of money (about $20USD per person)! The beach was beautiful and bar/restaurant attached also has great food and drink. The water is a little brown/less clear closest to the beach but turns the usual brilliant aqua green about 20 meters out. Overall, this is as a great place to stay for the money and would highly recommend to anyone - I would come back!

Hotel is nice and friendly

Susan was very helpful at our arrival and with responding to questions throughout our trip. There's been recent construction on a beach club that has changed the view of the ocean from the advertising in the pictures. Less open ocean and rock and more palm trees, still pretty and tropical. Swimming in the ocean at this property was not something we did during our trip as the ocean was very choppy and turbulent from the weather. You absolutely need to rent a car if staying at this location if you want to go beyond Mambo beach. I would advise this property is best for adults rather than children unless you upgrade to the VIP balcony suites or the Villas. You have to communicate with them in advance that you will need twin beds instead of King size. The villas are at a different location. Make sure to carefully review the description of what is included in the room type you are reserving. The pictures are a mix of all the properties: standard room, balcony room and villa.
