Sonesta Maho Beach: Great friendly resort

The food was great in the buffet but the restaurant that should have served the steak on lava rock was on first day closed and then was turned into a Mexican restaurant. They said it was now to be a Mexican restaurant. Also they stated on website that the beach was right there. That’s not so you have to walk about a mile to the beach. I think the resort should offer a shuttle bus to the beach for guests. The hotel should provide a paper map of the grounds and location of the restaurants and the [... read more] events. The people were very friendly and helpful.A great place for kids. The weather was superb. The space for the karaoke should have been better as was very limited space to sit.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Over priced

Great location, nice staff and food. Resort is dated,needs a lot of updating. Bathrooms mouldy and rooms are old and dark looking with sunk in matresses. Pool area too small to accommodate the amount of guests and needs a lot of repairs

Sonesta Ocean Point Resort: Great Location / Great Resort

#1 is the service, smiles and thank you go a long way with the staff. #2 location, minutes from airport, right in town #3 food is similar to 5 star resorts Only downfall is the airport, we got very lucky going through but other travellers waited for over 2.5 hours (mostly issues with luggage, to many planes for the what they can handle)

Sonesta Maho Beach: Disappointing

The room booked was an Island view. This room turned out to be street-side. The rooftop bar and club opened at 10pm and ran until 4:30am or later every night. The music pounded and blared so that no sleeping was possible. The resort was not only not helpful but disrespectful. They said that was the room you booked and handed us earplugs. There was no notice on the website about the noise nor any warning from our travel agent. Clearly this is known to the resort. Other couple were in the s [... read more]ame situation. There is also almost no beach. The current is too strong to swim and it is too narrow to enjoy. As such it becomes a pool resort. Pool gets the two stars. There is very little to no entertainment unless you want to go to the all night roof top club or the little casino. The island is beautiful and there are many other locations that would have been much better. The food was overall good but not sufficient to make up for the other negatives.

Secrets St. Martin: Such a special resort!

I've just returned from a week at Secrets St. Martin and I would head right back tomorrow. After reading some reviews I was wary, but Secrets exceeded ALL my expectations. We traveled for my partner's 40th birthday and the resort went out of their way to help celebrate his special day. Our room was lovely and the cleaning staff did a thorough job each day cleaning and restocking anything we needed. The staff were all warm and friendly, going above and beyond to help with anything we needed, espe [... read more]cially the lobby staff. Alicia, the bartender at the lobby bar made great drinks and was a pleasure to chat with each day. The pool is outstanding with space for everyone. And the beach is beautiful, private and wonderful for daily swims. Lots of tropical fish to enjoy. All of the a la carte restaurants were a nice experience with no reservations needed (aside from the Teppanyaki restaurant, which is well worth it), tasty food and great ambiance. The buffet was a little underwhelming, but we only ate there at breakfast. We enjoyed the pool side buffet at lunch much more. The location is removed from some of the other bigger towns and cities on the island, which can be a positive if you're looking for relaxing. There's hiking trails close by as well as jet ski rentals (recommend renting from the marina at Island Jet rather than from the beach), and many excursions from the resort. A taxi to Grand Case cost about $13/person. There's also a number of shops just beside the resort that were fun to wander through. I could go on, but overall, I would highly recommend a trip to Secrets St Martin.

Sonesta Maho Beach: SADLY WONT RETURN!

Second time at this resort as loved it 1st time. Found staff quite unfriendly and not helpful it was actually hard to get their attention if you had a question! I understand that tourism is the only game in town for employment but for goodness sake at least acknowledge people and pretend you like your job especially given that tips are involved! There was a norovirus at resort the week we were there soooo many sick guests (probably 70%) based on Facebook posts and general talk at the resort. A  [... read more]great number of guests ate off site as a little concerned about food heigene at the resort as virus was revving up during the week. Not the point of going to an all-inclusive to feel safer eating off site! Not sure if resort took this as seriously as they could for eg. Hand sanitizer stations often empty. Know many people who in good faith won't return or recommend.

La Plantation: Lovely Resort

The hotel was perfect. Friendly staff and close to Orient Beach. We enjoyed it because it had a deck with a table and chairs. We ate our lunch on the deck. Breakfast was fabulous. Fruit, coffee, cereal, croissants and hot food.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Beautiful resort

The resort was great. A terrific hotel and staff. The room cleaning staff was thorough and friendly. The restaurants were conveniently located and served delicious food. I’m really hoping to return to this fine resort in the next couple of years!

Sonesta Maho Beach: Strongly Recommend for Pool People

Most of the staff are very friendly and do their best to accommodate you. We first came here in 2022 and again in January 2024. We are beach people and learned on our most recent vacation, this year, that the beach had eroded since our last visit in 2022. Therefore our all-inclusive became not so much of an all inclusive as we spent most of our time on other beaches. On the bright side we divided our days between Mullet Bay and Anguilla beaches. This resort is very clean and I would strongl [... read more]y recommend it for pool people. If you are a beach person, you can still go to Maho Beach but you have to walk up past the other resorts, which is fine, but it is quite busy, especially if several cruise ships come in and be prepared to be sand blasted from the airplanes.

Secrets St. Martin: Secrets St Martin

Very nice, chill resort, excellent food, beautiful breach, attentive and friendly staff. Alcohol selection was better than a lot of resorts we have been to. Only complaint was that the evening entertainment was lame.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Sonesta Maho Resort review

Trip date Sept 28 to October 5th -2023 Overall a very good resort. Sunwing lost my bag so had no luggage for 4 days. Main Oasis pool was closed down for renovations on day #4 of our trip. The alternate pool provided for guests was to small to accommodate everyone at the resort, so timers were used at lounge chairs which seating to begin with was very limited due to minimal chairs. Unfortunately, due to the construction repairs on the grounds, the resort did not have a beautiful vacation vibe as [... read more] it would most presumably would have. It was disappointing that we were not notified of the pool closure prior to booking. The waves in the ocean due to hurricane Phillipe were very high and strong - so beach use during pool reconstruction was not an option for my elder husband with hip and shoulder issues. The Oasis main pool for this resort -we were told will not be open for possibly 2 more months- this will be determined depending on the extent of repairs required to fix once it is diagnosed. Some guests were very disappointed as they paid more for pool/ocean views without warning either of this construction on site. Food on resort was very good. Resort staff were terrific. Friendly island. Dealing with Sunwing was not a good experience at all. Lack of communication from Sunwing staff regarding lost luggage. I spent the first 4 days trying to track down my own luggage with very little assistance from Sunwing. Hotel, room and restaurant cleanliness was very good. I would recommend this hotel once pool renos are completed and avoid booking with Sunwing and rather go with WestJet..

Sonesta Maho Beach: Ok resort

Staff were very helpful and nice. Pool needs a lot of help. Facilities were no frills. Food was respectable but lacked variety. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssdddddddd

Sonesta Maho Beach: A great getaway

Excellent. Courteous and professional staff and servers. The pool wasn’t that inviting, but the beach was a blast. Could do with a few more umbrellas. The food is excellent in all the restaurants. Spacious and comfortable rooms. Great entertainment at all the venues on the resort.

Secrets St. Martin: Ita a nice resort that has a lot of potential

Resort is nice unfortunately the service and restaurants are lacking even the front desk It seems like there is not enough workers working. if you purchase preferred club its not worth it your really not getting anything different so save your money.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Great 4 star resort in a perfect location

We’ve stayed at this resort twice now and had a great time. The location is great, right on the Maho strip on the Dutch side. Multiple beach options close by Maho on resort, mullet bay 7-10 min walk and cupecoy maybe 15 min. The food was all great, rooms were super clean and the resort is constantly being cleaned. The pool has a fun energy with entertainment. It’s a great home base for your trip to St. Maarten! Be sure to venture off the resort, the island is safe and friendly no need to sta [... read more]y on resort the island has so much to see and is easy to navigate by bus, taxi or rental car. A true 4 star! Not as luxurious as some 5 stars but the price reflects. Great value! Fun for the whole family, couples, young or old.

Sonesta Maho Beach: amazing resort

Sonesta Maho Beach: Great Location !! Outstanding service!!

The hotel is nice, not too big which was good for me. Food was very good with lots of variety. Location very good nice pools, beach not that great but the're lots of nice beaches on the island where you can go by taxi to spend the day. I booked the oasis poolview room in which I got a beautiful view of the pool and Ocean. The room is spacious with a round table and three chairs. My cleaning lady was Marie who did a good job cleaning my room daily. All the staff were very nice. This was not my fi [... read more]rst trip to this beautiful small island and it's certainlly not my last.

Secrets St. Martin: This place needs a lot of work

The staff at this hotel, every single one of them was amazing. Their hospitality, attention to detail is something you would enjoy and expect from a resort. The rooms are updated and very clean. The grounds are in good shape, and the beach is beautiful. The problem with this hotel, is its food. It is one of the worst food experiences in my life. Basic 3-5 ingredient food would taste better than what I was given, which is why i'm absolutely shocked by how bad it was. The most edible plates [... read more] come from the buffet. My first night I got food poisoning from "FRESH" red snapper, which is a total lie. It was rubbery and raw at the same time = flash frozen. But I couldn't see how it was cooked, because there is no light to inspect anything that you're eating. That lead to 2 days of nibbling on processed foods to become well again. The next time i tried a restaurant dish was a pad thai, that had a pool of straight oil and black and burned peanuts, which I became sick from again. The sushi rice was like eating glue. The next day in the buffet the sushi rice was cooked correctly and was edible, I must add. Many other items my wife and I ate were just technically prepared wrong, and didn't taste anything like what it was supposed to. She had a putanesca once, that was like dog food placed on top of linguini or tagliatelle (pasta was horrible texture). On that dog food, was thick cut pieces of serrano ham that had gone RANCID. Okay... RANCID, I put it in my mouth and tasted the rottenness and acidity of meat gone bad. The juices in the morning were fermented! Bubbles of fermentation on the sides of its glass, the taste of kombucha in apple juice? orange juice? pinapple juice? I'm the least picky person when it comes to food, I eat everything. I barely ate here. They need to fix this ASAP.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Maho beach is amazing

This place is great! Nice hotel, helpful staff, beautiful rooms, great atmosphere and with lots of fun during the day. The beach was clean, lots of sun chairs, not crowdy. All restaurants and buffets have great food selection.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Maho beach
