    One thing I did not like at all was that my sheets were not changed for TWO days. On day two I had to go to the front desk and ask them to take care of it. Also, I liked the bathroom but the shower .. if you didn’t position the shower head properly all of the water would end up on the floor (there’s no shower door, I’m not complaining but people should know).

    Breakfast was actually really good no issues there. The staff was very polite and welcoming. Drinks on drinks on drinks , of course I liked that. The excursions on the island was for sure my favorite part about it. The nightlife was fun too .

    I know it may not be associated with the resort, but going on the beach and being pressured to get SPA treatment is annoying, it kept repeating itself and made My wife and I decided not to go back on the beach. It was actually the same person doing it all the time.

    The breakfast situated perfectly, I have no complaints about the breakfast.

    The pool smelled like my turtle's aquarium when its extremely dirty i.e. like a sewer. The drinks were weak and proportions were terribly off.

    Food options were great! Nice variety and tasty. Housekeeping refreshed the room daily. Daily activities are plentiful and exciting for adults and kids. Staff were all very pleasant, accommodating and resourceful. Proximity to the airport to view plane landings was fascinating.

    The other restaurants didn't have very good food, the service there was just okay. The dress restrictions also were annoying, Why do I need a button down shirt when I just came from the beach?

    Nicole was amazing in the buffet restaurant, each and every time. She had a smile, was quick and very attentive. Just AMAZING!

    The friendliness of the staff was lacking. It wasn't a welcoming vibe. I would have liked a hotel shuttle to and from the airport since it's literally steps away.

    I liked that it was all inclusive. The fresh smoothie station during breakfast was a hit. The staff at the Italian restaurant did a great job making my son's birthday special with a birthday dessert with a candle and sang for him. The shower pressure in the room was great.

    The room was not that clean, the shower leaked water all over the bathroom.

    They are one of the few hotels near the airport with 24hr front desk, which was great when Frontier cancelled our flight at 11:45 pm after waiting at the airport for 9 hours. Antonio at the front desk, was super helpful, and friendly, and really worked hard to get us a room, in a fully booked hotel. Thanks Antonio!

    A little outdated, especially the pool and quite often the lines to be seated at restaurants were excessive even though there were tables available. Personnel is generally competent, but most of them not particularly welcoming when you required assistance.

    The location in one of the best beaches in St Marteen; the wide food choices and the room that was spacious and comfortable. The drinks at the different bars were very good and varied. The extended hours of the fitness center were also a plus

    I typically do not write reviews but this was a must - Some of the staff were extremely rude - I traveled with my spouse and my extended family, total 6 people ( 4 adults + 2 toddlers) to celebrate my husband and I’s graduation for a week. We went to Palms grill for lunch the waitress looked bothered, she just looked at us and said go to the buffet, I can’t sit 6 people, meanwhile I am starting at a table of 10 people. My sister-in-law tried - I ate something from the buffet for breakfast that upsets that stomach, I spent the day in bed cause I could not hold anything down. At 10 PM ish I was so hungry I told my spouse to get me a snack from the restaurant he was already dining at, management refused. I called the front desk asking to ask them to speak the supervisor on duty to make an exception, they refused. I had to be on the phone for at least 1 hour of back and forth before they finally decided to give him the green light to do so. - Have more entertainment at night, not just karaoke - Have more food options for breakfast - Have a better DJ, as a fellow Caribbean myself, I was expecting more from the DJ, he was putting me to sleep most days. Play some hot soca, reggae-ton, dancehall, kompa or Afrobreats.

    - Property was close to the airport (15 min walk), locals bus takes you to the airport for $2 - Rooms were big and spacious - Property was beautiful, the beach was beautiful as well - We like the Pizza place “ Lucas” was great, the veggie pizza is a must, try it! - We liked learning the dollar dance from Caribbean night. - we were served drinks by the beach which was great because it was HOT - Take plenty of pictures as the planes land

    TV channel not a lot of choices (not even US or France) and no Chromecast, the breakfast was not good quality and staff seems to be taking care more of groups or couple. I alone, did not feel very welcomed on my arrival at breakfast. The fact that the swimming pool close at 8:00pm is unfortunate.

    I only stayed here for one night but it was a special occasion for me. The room was very nice and big. Very positive point over the view (upgraded) that I really appreciated on the balcony. The reception staff was very welcoming. Italien restaurant was very nice for dinner, my waiter was amazing and mindful and the sound of the waves near the table was enjoyable. Thanks again

    Waiting untill afternoon for check-in, a bit crowded breakfast.

    My stay in St. Maarten was a dream come true. As a aviation lover, this hotel was a choice number one. I appreciated all inclusive option, you can visit several a la carte restaurants or buffet. The place is located just a few minutes from SXM airport and has much to offer including with the view to Maho Beach with the famous aircraft landing. Don’t worry about the noice, you will love the planes and there is no traffic at nights. Hotel staff also made my stay special, thank you for that. I will be back.
