Top Downtown Philipsburg Hotel Reviews

The Morgan Resort Spa Village

10/10 Excellent

"Pool was beautiful and location perfect for plane spotting. All employees were friendly and helpful. The free airport pickup and drop-off was a nice amenity"

Divi Little Bay Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Divi little Bay resort did not fail my husband and I on our first time to St Maarten. The rooms were nice and clean and comfortable, the staff were all friendly and very knowledgeable. We felt like family after the first night. Our faces were remembered by the staff and that made us feel welcomed."

Simpson Bay Resort, Marina & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I went to St. Maarten with my kids for a week and we absolutely loved this resort. I booked a two bedroom suite and received two units with fully equipped kitchens which we loved. The beds were comfortable. Housekeeping came everyday and did a great job with cleaning and restocking. The resort is not brand new but it’s well kept. People are cleaning each day, trimming bushes, pools etc. The bars at the pools were great as well. The beaches and pools were clean and beautiful!! We went for a night swim and had the music from the restaurant playing by the water - so amazing! The restaurants were fantastic especially Juliette’s Bistro. We loved our girl Shantel!! Walking around the resort was easy. There are golf carts and shuttles but we honestly enjoyed walking (lots of hills). There is a strip of restaurants, bars, lounges, hookah spots within walking distance from the resort. Super accessible to nightlife. Taxis are always available but just be aware that a 10 minute ride can cost you $30-40. This resorts location is perfect. It was great for our family. Thank you all!!!"
