Sonesta Maho Beach All Inclusive Resort Casino & Spa
Staffs are friendly, room is clean , pools are a little small, buffet doesn’t have much variety , beach is amazing, the burger stand is delicious, liked the capuchino at the cafe, tried the Italian restaurant and it’s good, the tavern wings were a little dry, we didn’t get a chance to try other places ...

Simpson Bay Resort, Marina & Spa
The room was clean, the location quiet, the pool was clean and not overly busy, and staff regularly cleaned the room and changed the towels. Although the location is hilly, the resort operates an internal shuttle bus on request.

Fourteen at Mullet Bay
The property was exactly what the pictures showed. The view was ok was able to see the pool and the ocean from the room. Over all I would recommend. Please look into cleaning prices prior to arrival they charge you as soon as you arrive depending on your room and the room damage fees as well.
