Sonesta Maho Beach: Very nice resort

Looks new, modern, very clean, friendly staff, good food. Lot of historic/ touristic places to explore around. Lots of extra activities offered to you by a friendly and helpful Sunwing girls. e.g. (sunset cruises, deep sea fishing, snorkeling, sail around the island cruises etc.). A-la carte restaurants/pub/bar available to you inside/outside the Resort without extra charge!. (without limitation or booking in advance). ATV/buggy rental available just meters from the hotel (SXM Rally Tours). We'v [... read more]e had a terrific stay. Thanks.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Great resort!

The resort was amazing, clean, and service was great. People were friendly and there were a variety of cuisines. I will be visiting Sint Maarten again since there are a lot more places to see. Such a beautiful island and resort!

Sonesta Maho Beach: Fantastic!

Hotel was clean and easy to navigate. Elevators were quick and lots of room with three of them. Food and Service was great at all restaurants we visited. Lots of choices with multiple locations. Location of hotel was awesome being located right beside the small downtown area including Casino.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Beautiful resort; location could be better

The resort was beautiful, the food was fantastic, but the location could have been better. Our first room overlooked a local night club, and after two nights of pounding bass until 3am, we requested a room change. They moved us to a pool view room which was much quieter at night. The resort is located on Maho Beach, known for its proximity to the airport runway and the unique experience of literally standing under planes as they are landing and taking off. While there were only 4-5 large p [... read more]lanes landing each day, there were numerous commuter flights so you had the noise of planes landing and taking off for most of the day. Mullett Bay Beach was just a short walk away and was much quieter and calmer, except on cruise ship days when the beach was lined with chairs and umbrellas and people.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Best Vacation Ever

This was truly paradise. The hotel was clean and very beautiful. The meals were 5 star and the food selection was abundant and very very fresh. The most impressive thing about the resort were the people. I have never met such happy helpful staff. Shout out to Jardin (the exercise leader), Beatrice (who looked after our room), All the wait staff in the restaurants, too many to call out but all great....Thanks guys

Sonesta Maho Beach: Awesome Hotel

Like hotel very much, clean room, ac working very well ,greens nice and cut/trim People working for; hotel,restaurants,bars, good hard working people make thinks happen My wife loves it if wasn't Fiona hurricane would have perfect holiday lost 3 days of sunshine

Sonesta Maho Beach: Super clean resort!

Food was awesome at every restaurant. Service was slow especially at the buffet. Covid protocols are still in place at the buffet meaning you are not able to serve yourself. Unfortunately they don’t have enough staff to accommodate these protocols. One person is serving 3 stations. So it takes forever for breakfast. Omelet station was the worst so was toast station. Beach is very small. Can’t walk the beach. The airport is right on the beach but the airplanes don’t bother you. Every once i [... read more]n awhile they go by and it’s actually cool to look at. Rooms are modern and clean. The moon bar is next to the hotel. Our room was directly behind the night club. We heard music after 3am but it didn’t bother us because the AC is loud on the room and muffled the noise. Sunwing checkin was the worst I’ve ever encountered. Sunwing staff were great Great food clean hotel and the ocean was wonderful.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Sonesta Maho Beach Resort

Food very good but clearly imported and not locally grown. No Guava for instance. Nice beach but some would find it wavy. You can walk 10 minutes to Mullet Bay Beach which has calmer water and rent a deck chair for $10 U.S. We would have preferred to pay less for this all inclusive resort. People crowded elevators and talked excitedly, not good practices for Covid.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Awesome

Exceptional food for an all inclusive resort. Very friendly staff. Perfect location for someone looking for activity and night life and an excellent spot to base island tours and activities from. Variety of shopping nearby, walk to three separate beaches within 15 min.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Best vacation yet.

The Sonesta Maho Beach Resort was the best hotel that i have so far stayed at. The staff were friendly, helpful when needed, the food was amazing. On top of that the beach was fantastic. You couldnt find a complaint even if you wanted to. The drinks were fantastic. Walking in town and any excursions taken, always felt safe. Amazing vacation.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Beautiful Trip

A nice hotel, with a small foot print, however it was fast to go around to the two level beach and to the restaurants. Very good COVID measures in place. Very clean hotel and grounds. A small beach with sufficient chairs (it was not very full between March 24 and April 7, 2022). Amazing ocean colours, clear water, no rocks, a pleasure to swim. Quality of food was above the average of four star hotels. More expensive than other islands, but we greatly enjoyed our vacation.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Very beautiful!

This hotel was nice and everyone was friendly, we had a nice time. The dinner service was slow two times but all the other times was great. I will definitely want to go back in the future one day to explore more of the island. The water at maho beach was rough but was fun and so clean and clear.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Wonderful Resort

Just returned from the Sonesta Maho in Saint Maarten traveling with Sunwing vacations. This was our first trip Covid style and I can tell you We felt completely at ease at this resort. The resort was kept clean the food was great and the staff that works there were amazing. Sunwing and the local lab across the street do an amazing job for your return PCR Covid test it takes all of 10 minutes out of your day with the procedures they have in place …well done Sunwing.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Great resort

The resort was clean. The staff was very friendly. The best bartender name was Eddie great person and made awesome drinks.You had to wear your mask in the common areas and that was fine. Some people did not but the security indices it witch was great. The Sunwing staff was very good so recommend to go to the meeting gave you the info you need to get back home as for Canadian you need the PCR test. The food was a 5 star every thin was fresh the buffet they serve the food for you. There is to  [... read more]pp that do the eggs and are very good. We tipped the waitress and the cooks. There house wine is great. To find out what restaurants are open they have a barcode you can scan very easy to do and give you what what’s open. Do take a walk and go to the other beach called Mullet bay it’s a 10 min walk worth every min. If you want to go to phillisburg just go out to the street and there is public vans that reads philisburg that will take you to the town only 2 US dollars and coming back use Moha drop you right off to the hotel. Jewelry’s stores in Moha go to the Rissan it’s on the right nice pp and not pushy Andy is one of the guys that will help you.also in phillisburg go to the Kay’s jewelry they too are a good jewelry store and guarantee for life if anything break.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Excellent vacation

Our week vacation at sonesta Maho beach was amazing! We came for the airplanes and the view but everything else was wonderful! Food, service, accommodations, casino etc. Very modern and clean! The beach can be a little rough at times to go in but the water is beautiful and blue. The pool is big and very clean. The buffet is a little small but there are plenty of food options on the resort. The pizza was excellent, the palms grill was great and the point a la carte Italian was very very good. A [... read more]nd the cafe with coffee and snacks was the best. We felt very very safe, walking to near by beaches and would highly recommend the excursion to Anguilla by speed boat. I have no idea how anyone could possibly complain about this place. We didn’t rent a car but most people we spoke to rented a car for the week to get around the island. I would come back here 100%. And if you are an avid aviation lover like myself, the Maho beach experience watching the planes fly in is one of my favourite things I’ve ever done.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Very nice resort

We had a great time, very nice resort. Very clean all around and took extra precautions for corona virus by asking everyone to use hand sanitizer before entering any restaurant areas plus the staff served us our food. Nobody touched anything related to the food. The only draw back for me was that there are no places to walk to as there are not many stores or things to see unless we went by bus or taxi. Overall we are pretty pleased with the resort. Staff always helpful and food was great everywh [... read more]ere we went on the resort.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Great Resort

I visited this resort with my friend and we stayed here from Feb 20 to 27. Prior to leaving for our trip I read all the recent reviews and was well aware of the virus outbreak. We arrived very prepared and noticed all the precautions posted around the resort. I only heard of one instance where 2 family members of a bigger party were effected and this was on our first day there. After that I did not come across anyone else effected so it's safe to say that this is under control. This was th [... read more]e smallest resort that I ever stayed at and you don't get a big variety of restaurants that you typically get at big resorts. I was fine with this. We were most impressed with The Point and ate there twice. The Palms was pretty good as well. I typically avoid eating dinners at buffet restaurants but this one impressed me and had 3 dinners here. The buffet is not big and may lack some variety that people in other reviews have mentioned but I found their quality to be good and food was fresh. The grounds and rooms are modern. Our A/C was functioning properly, the rooms were clean and showers worked well with constant pressure and hot water. Two thumbs up on this. I felt the workers were mostly polite, friendly and did their best to attend to everyone. I don't understand some of the complaints posted here. Maybe I don't let the little things bother me or I'm not some snobby, demanding, full of himself type of a person. Even though there is no true beach on the resort there is a man-made beach overlooking Maho Beach and the ocean. You literally just have to get up from your chair and walk 50 meters and you're on the beach and in the water. If you walk another 200 meters you reach the airport and get yourself some postcard moment pictures of the planes landing. It's spectacular if you're into that. The big planes land and take-off between 1:00 and 6:00 pm so they won't wake you up or prevent you from falling asleep. It's a silly complaint if you claim it's loud all day long. You should already have known that this resort is near an airport and avoided coming here if it bothers you. Finally, you're doing yourself disservice if you don't get off the resort and explore the island a bit. Maho Beach is on the west side of the island so you'll need to use a taxi or rental car if you want the flexibility to be mobile. Taxis here are a little expensive. From Maho Beach to Orient Beach or Cul-de-Sac (opposite end of the island) taxi costs $40 USD one-way for 2 people. It's an extra $5 for each additional passenger. Taxi from Maho to Philipsburg or Marigot is $20-25 one-way. We took a bus from Maho to Philipsburg and it cost each of us $2 one-way and the bus ride was 25-30 minutes long which was not bad. We visited Philipsburg on a Sunday which was one of their off-days for cruises coming in so we had the beach all to ourselves. We paid $25 for an umbrella, 2 chairs and 5 drinks. Another trip we made was to Pinel Island on the French side. The ferry pick-up is from Cul-de-Sac, it costs $12 return ferry and it's a 10 minute ride to get there. The island is small but the water is super shallow, clear and very safe to swim. I recommend you consider it. I looked into taking a ferry to Anguilla, the cost of the ferry is $90 return. I think it's the same cost to go to St Barth's. St Maarten is known for their Guavaberry Coladas as well as BBC's. Try those drink. I definitely recommend this resort and visiting St Maarten.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Loved It

Resort is not too big..safe for single females..can walk to shops, pubs, grocery, pharmacy if needed and casino. New and very clean. Airplanes come in over Maho beach unbelievable. I had no complaints about the food except the quality of the sandwiches in Cafe and NO sugar free drinks at bars for mix.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Wonderful Resort and Amazing People!

Once again I would like to thank Linda Lavoie for planning an amazing holiday. The resort was clean and decorated nicely. The resort staff were very helpful and did there best to make your stay great. The a la carte restaurants were all good except Jin's. It could use some improvement. The only downside was there were no chairs to sit on the beach because the sand was washed away from the hurricane. The ocean water was a beautiful blue and the beach was soft sand that you could still walk up and [... read more] down on. The planes were interesting to watch flying in over the beach to land at the airport. The Norovirus was affecting people at the resort and the staff took all precautions to stop the spread. We booked an island tour with Sunwing and also a trip to St Barths. Both tours were amazing. Al in all we enjoyed our trip to St Maarten. Thanks again Linda for taking care of all our travel plans.
