We spent 2 nights here on our recent visit to St. Maarten. We loved the location as it is a 5 minute ride from the airport. This also allows for some awesome views of the planes landing over Maho Beach. The hotel itself is in need of some renovations as the lobby is dated and so was our room. Speaking of the room make sure you ask for an Ocean view as all the rooms on the back of the hotel overlook their sewage treatment plant, not very pretty. We found alot of the staff here to be lacking in good customer service skills. Their were some exceptions such as Sharon the day manager at the Palm Grille, several times she went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed to enjoy our dining there. Do yourself a favor and make the trek over to Mullett Bay beach for the day to enjoy the view, the ocean and the chicken and ribs from Rosies beach bar. We spent 3 more days at Ocean Point which is on the same property and would suggest that over this property as it is much more modern and private and better staffed by folks who will go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your visit.
