Top Downtown Philipsburg Hotel Reviews

Simpson Bay Resort, Marina & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Simpson Bay Resort is a great place to stayt, the breakfast buffet is very good, we recommend that you include it in your reservation. The beaches are beautiful, comfortable to swing. The pools are very clean and warm. Overal, we liked it and we would stay here again in our next trip to St. Marteen."

Hilton Vacation Club Flamingo Beach St. Maarten

6/10 Okay

"Excellent location with beautiful views and excellent access to Simpson Bay activities. The staff were all friendly and helpful.The restaurants were poor. The amenities were landing. The basics like you would expect like water in the room was not there. There were no ice machines on the floor. The 4pm and 10 am check out is robbery."

The Villas at Simpson Bay Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything about our stay at Simpson Bay Resort. The beaches were spectacular. The buffet breakfast was amazing!! We really enjoyed all the restaurants and the awesome Pelican Deli grocery store!! The Red Piano was a great place to enjoy live music and drinks. We will definitely be back!!!!"

Sonesta Ocean Point All Inclusive, Adults Only Resort

4/10 Poor

"We recently stayed at Sonesta and while the hotel itself is beautiful with amazing views and a great location, our experience was unfortunately very frustrating. Upon check-in, we specifically booked an ocean view room but were initially given Room 101, which had a parking lot/front entrance view instead. After having to make a fuss, we were finally moved to Room 311, which was much better. However, on days 2 and 3, the AC stopped working. On top of that, there was heavy construction going on directly below our room. The noise and vibrations were constant and made it very difficult to relax or enjoy the vacation. Thankfully, one of the managers was understanding and agreed the situation was not right, and eventually moved us again to Room 420. We appreciated that effort. Overall, the hotel itself is nice, the property is beautiful, and the ocean views are great — but guests should not have to deal with multiple room issues, broken AC, and ongoing construction disruptions during their stay. We hope management improves communication and guest accommodations moving forward."

Holland House Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Holland House in St. Martin was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The location is perfect right on the beach with breathtaking views, beautiful rooms, and an atmosphere that makes you never want to leave. The staff was incredibly welcoming, professional, and made every moment feel special. The food, drinks, and overall vibe were top tier. Whether you’re looking to relax, celebrate, or just enjoy the island, this is definitely the place to stay. Can’t wait to come back!"
