Laidback

My wife and I had a pleasant and relaxing time in April at Oceans Divi Little Bay in Sint Maarten. Having stayed at more than a dozen 4 and 5 star resorts throughout the Caribbean, I can safely say this resort is a solid 3 star for quality. The more expensive Oceans all-inclusive is totally integrated with the rest of the resort, timeshare owners and day visitors. Highlights: Friendly, though overworked, staff. Excellent made-to-order pizza at the "Slice" pizza shack and shrimp taco from "Th [... read more]e Shack". Excellent three level infinity pool with plenty of loungers. Likewise at the sargassum-free expansive soft sandy beach. On the other hand the entertainment was mediocre and our room had several issues. A bonus from Air Canada vacations was that their bus, that shuttled us to and from the airport, also provided us with a 4 hour tour of the entire island (with 1 hour stops to discover Marigot and Philipsburg) for only $25 US each.

Great Resort!

The staff truly made this vacation special. I believe people treat you the way you treat them, and everyone at the Divi was warm and welcoming. A special thank you to the ladies at reception, and to Edrick and Felix for helping us get to our rooms. We travelled with our mothers, who had some mobility issues, but the golf cart service made getting around easy, especially with the stairs and longer walks. The food was fantastic! We found the Premium option, which you can pay for when you arr [... read more]ive, was worth it because it gave us access to all the restaurants and cafés on site and in turn offered more dinner options. Mimi and Caron at the breakfast buffet were lovely, and Laurel at the pizza place was a friendly face we were happy to see each day. Booking dinner reservations was easy, and we were never limited when reserving. The property was clean, and the view from our third-floor Oceans room was amazing. Fort Amsterdam was also worth the short walk. We went every day to see the baby pelicans and iguanas and enjoy the beautiful views. The ocean and beach were beautiful, and getting beach chairs and umbrellas was never a problem. Every vacation is what you make of it. Things move on island time, so it may feel a little slower than what you are used to at home, but with the right attitude, you will have a wonderful time!

Amazing resort!

Oceans by Divi Bay Resorts in St Marteen exceeded our expectations! Views, setting, pools, beaches were all absolutely beautiful! Resort was clean, fun, rooms in Oceans offered stunning views of Caribbean and resort grounds! All staff friendly, professional and kind!

It was a very nice resort with a variety of restaurants, beach is beautiful!

Nice resort with their own bay, very clean everywhere! Good assortment of restaurants! Hotel room was well laid out and lots of space. Approximately 20 min. walk from Philipsburg, bit hilly but very doable. Only thing I'd like to mention is that the flight with WestJet was operated by Swoop and that was very basic. No screen availability. Luckily we didn't have someone sitting beside us but my husband could not sit straight with his legs

Paradise on earth!

Great location, close to the pools and restaurants. Super courteous staff. Excellent food morning. lunch and dinner. Short walk to the lobby. The market is equal to a super market. Great selection of wine and beer. I could even find distilled water! Cabs at the door will drive you anywhere. The best resort we have been to. We will probably return.
