Excellent resort

We had a wonderful stay at Divi Little Bay Beach Resort. The location and beach are specular. Rooms were modern, well maintained, and offered better charging options than many business hotels. Pools around the resort are plentiful and refreshing. The resort is close proximity to Philipsburg, Simpson Bay, and not too far from Marigot. The food and bar service were excellent, especially the lobster dinner and prime rib night. The only small quibbles are that restaurant service could be slow, espec [... read more]ially at dinner. Also, we were required to check-out at 10 am and lost access to the All Inclusive Plan at that time, despite having not arrived at the hotel until nearly 4 the prior week and having a later airport pickup than check-out time. Most All-inclusive resorts don't skimp on a couple extra hours of day service in this way. Also, the Nespresso machine in our room never worked and was never repaired, despite several requests. These are small details relative to the overall quality of the resort.

3* ? Hah! Maybe 1 1/2 *

The Sunwing Rep was not in the airport terminal with the other reps, she was outside on the sidewalk. No contact information was provided and she did not appear at any other time even though she was sorely needed later. See below. We were placed on the second floor of what must be the original hotel. Since Dorothy has a disability we asked to be moved to the ground floor, which was granted. This room was beautifully situated directly on the beach. It was close to the Office and a short distance [... read more] to the restaurants. The furniture was nice but the bathroom badly needed a complete renovation. Water pressure was low and there was always a long wait for any warm, not hot, water to appear. The tub was a dated design and posed a hazard since it's side was dangerously high. When the shower was used water poured from the tiles, We were forced to pack facecloths and towels on the tug sill to prevent major flooding of the bathroom floor. Several restaurants did not provide coffee at lunch time and the machine in our room did not work. When Westjet cancelled the return flight at the last moment, a Sunwing should have been available to help us find accomodation for that night. No such aid was provided! The beach is not private and is often overcrouded. We paid huge money for this holiday and it was NOT WORTH IT!

We will return!

Very quaint and relaxing resort. We will return. One troubling situation is the small space two parrots are living in. The space is so small they fought and it needs to be at least two or three times the size.

Amazing Vacation

This was the best vacation resort we have visited. The room was spacious, and clean. Our room was at the opposite end of the resort as the bar and restaurants, which was perfect as we like it quieter. Even though it was close to the Infinity pool, it was tranquil, with little noise. This pool was perfect for us, as it was not very busy. There were other pools, but they seemed busier, which might be perfect for some people. The restaurants offered a variety of choices. Our plan only included brea [... read more]kfast, which was exactly what we wanted. The choices were plentiful and well prepared. The beach area was amazing. Snorkelling was great right there, and the beach was clean, and not too crowded. We cannot say enough good words about the staff. Everyone we met was friendly, very competent, and went out of their way to provide excellent client services. It was our favourite vacation location so far and we plan to return.

Divi-ne!!!

Best beach in all of #sxm! Great food, and friendly staff. Would definitely come back in a heartbeat. 🍤🍤🍤. Would like to see a bit quicker service at times during busy times, but they are always willing to try harder next meal. If you go anywhere in st. maarten, you must consider this place first! 🥂

Clean

Small resort. 5 min taxi to Phillipsburg. No other restaurants within safe walking distance other than the ones on the resort. So budget for taxi or rental car. The beach and water at resort below average.

Good times

The hotel older, in maintenance mode, and they stuggle to keep up. The odd thing is "not perfect", but the place is comfortable, clean and functional. It is monitored by Timeshare sales people. They can be annoying, but handled. You are told that tips are included in your normal price for things, but Tip jars are everywhere on the resort. The wind always blows, the surf always roars, nice beach, but not lit after dark. Beach walks after dark are risky due to the sand flys and the holes in the sa [... read more]nd left by umbrella poles. Nightly entertainment was good. There are party's hosted by the resort, designed to convince you to buy Timeshare after filling you with free alcohol. Bar prices fluctuate based in time of day. Beer at 1 US penny per milliliter suddenly becomes twice that after sun down.

Great resort

Loved the resort ,clean,great views, nice pools (small) relaxing not too busy which we really liked. 20 min walk to town would be a problem if you had mobility issues. Great views of the cruise ships We would stay again
