Sonesta Maho Beach: Great resort

From the moment we arrived we were treated very very well. The resort is beatiful and clean, the food is very good, especially breakfast and the pizza. Pool area is nice to relax and lounge around, the beach is very nice and water is gorgeous. The ability to see the planes coming in is the highlight in my opinion, the noise isnt really a bother as they dont run early or late. Buffet dinners were always good with a lot of selection, bbq night was a hit. Directly outside the hotel are Restaurants, [... read more] shops, a grocery store, Tantra night club which is a good party place a lot of locals go there. Sky beach was the more fun of the two clubs though with its open air rooftop bar along with nice booths on sand with bottle service. Casino royale is directly across, as a casino regular I wasnt impressed though it was quite all the time and lacked atmosphere, black jack was also resort rules which limits your ability to win. Overall though its a great resort in a great location. Room Tip: Request a renovated premium room facing maho bay 6th floor or higher

Sonesta Maho Beach: Sonesta maho beach=Awesome Holiday

We booked another week through Jack Gentile and TripCentral for St. Maarten and what an amazing holiday. The service, food, rooms were amazing and of course the friendly Island lived up to it's name. We will be going back again and again!

Sonesta Maho Beach: fantastic resort

This is my second time at Sonesta Maho and again just a fantastic resort. the staff very friendly,grounds well kept, great food and drinks and close to the airport. They are doing some updating and renovations but not a big issue.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Changed for the Worst

In August 2010 we stayed at this resort and we were more than satisfied. It seemed to be a nice in respectful age averaging around 35. Good music, good food, good vibe and a unbelievable view of the ocean and sunsets as we had told all of our friends and family. In September 2016 we returned to this resort only to be met with much disappointment. The view of the ocean is now obstructed by another hotel that has been built since, plopped right down in the middle of the property blocking any su [... read more]nset which may have existed. The food and restaurant choices have changed and have now become bland and more like a chore just to sustain. Most of all though, visibly, the mature, professional clientele has been replaced by a new wave of late teens and early 20 year old's that have absolutely no respect for anyone else vacationing other than themselves as you could hear them screaming in the hallways at 3am and yahooing around the pool all day. In fact this appears to be supported by the management as all day and night the heavy base around the pool area was none other than a rap type yo, yo, yo style of music. Maybe I'm getting old, I'm 45. Also, to our surprise but in the end not really, just the icing on the cake the hotel was under heavy, heavy construction. There were concrete saws and drills running all day everyday including Sunday. The Sonesta Maho is adding an additional building on the property and has gutted the entire 9th floor of the existing hotel including windows and balconies and this will be going on for some time. In fact, we were so disappointed and upset that we were unable to disconnect from the big city in which we live in, that we left the resort for 3 days and stayed at the Westin Hotel which clearly has maintained the respect of the clientele as to maturity and professionalism. I guess the price of the Westin is indicative of that. Unfortunately we had to return to the chaos at the Sonesta Maho for the last night before our flight home only to call hotel security at 4am as some cream of the crop couple were blaring their music in their hotel room which you could hear all the way down the hall. We would go back to St. Maarten for a vacation in a heartbeat but wouldn't go back to the Sonesta Maho if it was free.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Good Value

The Sonesta Maho Beach is a good value. We have certainly been to higher end resorts but like anything in life you pay for what you get. The resort grounds, rooms and staff were are well worth the money. The food was for the most part good. The stone oven pizza was fantastic. You can't beat cold cans of Heineken versus warm draft beer. Try and get to The Point restaurant as it was by far the best place to dine. You couldn't ask for a better location as everything you needed was simply steps [... read more] away. As always the island itself is really fantastic and for those of you who have not been there you should make the trip.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Average Hotel

I had this trip from 04-12 Aug 2016, we had 2 rooms for 3 adults and 1 kid located at 7 floor. We arrived at 3 P.M and there was Champagne upon our arrival from the hotel but things was not organized because there were more than 70 people waiting for check in and there was a mess in the lobby, no one knows where should go, what is next, where to line up. Staff were so slow, not willing to work, you spent 35 minutes even though it is your turn for check in. The next day I complained to the front  [... read more]desk manager about this and he seemed he know this efficiency issue, he just smiled. Normally spending an hour for checking in was unacceptable, after that the staff told me that both rooms would not be ready until 4 P.M, then I had a question, why people check out at 11 A.M and rooms still not available until 4:30 P.M ? At night there were disco and club at the street close to the hotel, it won't be quiet and calm until 4 A.M in the morning so the first day was a disaster. Again the same situation happened in the dining room, we had been waiting for server to order drinks but no one cares, some of them pretended not seeing you waved to them. You asked for toothpick after dinner and they will pointed to the location so that you can get it by your own, very poor services. Staff seemed to work in a very unhappy environment. Despite of poor services, the food was so delicious and quality picked material, you will have fish everyday and night in your buffet, steak and lamb stew were also tried in this trip as well. Menu were changed every single meal from lunch to dinner everyday. If you got tire of buffet you can also go to the Ascot Bar and Grill for their steak and fish, also thumb up !! Beach was wavy there everyday as I noticed but it did not bother me much because I was excited in taking photograph of airplane landing and takeoff day after days. My wife and my daughter traveled to Philipsburg by bus for shopping, swimming and water activities. It cost only 2 U.S for person in each trip compare to 20 U.S for taxi, you can catch buses right in front of the street from the hotel. Special thanks to the front desk manager Kevin and Shaquille, they were really helpful to us, conclusively this hotel was not as great as it advertised but honestly the food was so great and above the other local restaurant, no matter appetizer, main course and dessert were well made to the order flawlessly. I will ell my friend about this hotel despite of some bad services.

Sonesta Ocean Point Resort: Amazing Resort!

This was our second visit to Sonesta Ocean Point and love this place. We had a swim out suite located next to the "beach" area and it was amazing, we never had to leave our room. The resort is very quiet, great food at Azul and you couldn't ask for a better view. The staff were very friendly and made every attempt to please their guests.

Sonesta Ocean Point Resort: Very Nice Resort, Great Vacation!

Overall, we were extremely pleased with our stay at the Sonesta Ocean Point in St. Maarten. Stories about being 'under construction' from other reviews were overblown. Proximity to the airport isn't for everyone...if you're looking for a completely quiet place this probably isn't the right choice. Food was great, staff were good, weather was incredible!

Sonesta Ocean Point Resort: Will be an Amaxing Resort

The views from the pool are picturesque. Watched the planes come in all day long in amazement. We had a swim out which was a bonus. Since the rooms are new, they were modern and very clean. The staff was friendly. Believe that this hotel will be great when all is completed which will probably not be for months.
