A Little Piece of Paradise!

Don’t think twice, JUST GO! I coordinated a trip for 20 people which we all know how difficult that can be and Sabrina in reservations was just amazing! She was always available and helped me coordinate everything over the past few months, I can’t thank her enough and she is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. The ENTIRE staff at The Morgan was amazing, from the second we arrived at the airport, we had a shuttle service waiting for us, quick and easy check in and the hotel is just beautiful. Not having a beach onsite was not an issue at all. Maho beach is a 2 minute walk, Mullet Bay Beach is about a 15 minute walk or 5 minute car/cab ride and we went to Grand Case which was really nice and easy to get to as well. Just ask for Alpha, one of the nicest guys you will meet and will take anywhere you would like to go. The rooms were spotless and had nice terraces with amazing views, the pool is beautiful, there is a hot tub, comfy lounge chairs, the list goes on. I saw in a different review that some people decided not to eat at the hotel because they heard bad things about the food, we did not have one complaint. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were excellent and the menu has a nice variety of options. Definitely the best hotel staff I’ve ever encountered, Ravi, Asha, Ernell and of course Sabrina. I can’t remember everyone’s name but it doesn’t matter because everyone at The Morgan treats you like family with a smile on their face and couldn't be more accommodating. I met the owner as well and he was very kind. Thank you for the hospitality, we will definitely be back! ?

Mosquitoes!

Reviewed By Jen P

We stayed here on our last night of our trip and I much preferred grand case and Nettle Beach Bay club. The room here was nice, relatively large and had a comfortable bed. It was very clean and I appreciated that, but as soon as the sun went down we could no longer use our tiny balcony on the first floor because there were so many mosquitoes, it was insane. The front desk staff were absolutely lovely, as were all of the stuff at the hotel. I thought it was so interesting that so many people from the Dutch side don’t ever visit the French side and vice versa! Overall not a bad place to stay on a cool beach with all the amenities nearby, but for someone who’s allergic to mosquitoes this is my worst nightmare so I’ll be heading back to the French side on my next trip for sure. No bugs!

Perfect!!

Reviewed By ramurer

I had a Mothers Day trip myself and my adult daughter. We were blown away by the view, staff, location. We walked to everything. Our room was immaculate. We stayed in the Villas and had everything we needed. I read other reviews about music from the bars on Kim Sha beach. We shut the door and pulled the black out shades and was a non issue. Metal was our guy at the beach bar, was lovely and took great care of us. His opening line… “ladies, you can’t say you drank all day if you don’t start in the morning.” Aquamania sports is on the resort. We did two trips with them, both were great. We also included the buffet breakfast, well worth the money.

Location, character, and friendliness

Reviewed By Susan D

This hotel got amazing reviews, so I figured I couldn't go wrong. It does have a fabulous location - right on a gorgeous beach that doesn't get crowded, with a couple of beach bars up the beach that are just far enough that the people and noise don't interfere with relaxing on the hotel's beach, lots of good restaurants nearby (we drove but you could walk). The place was very clean and the staff were attentive, pleasant, and thorough. The owner was a super-friendly nice guy living on the premises with his family. They even have a turtle habitat in the beautiful little courtyard garden! And one of their cats adopted us and even stayed the night. I happened to walk through one of the resorts down the bay and felt it was sterile and impersonal by comparison. However, this is a 3 star hotel. It is not fancy. It meets your needs and the owner and staff are happy to help you with anything you need. And the majority of the rooms do not look out on the beach: only 2 have a beach view. That was disappointing for me, but fortunately the beach was so wonderful and easy to get to, and there's wifi on the beach, so it was easy to just go sit under an umbrella and still get a little work done if I needed to.

Great food on the beach!

Reviewed By MelWood817

Unfortunately my family did not have the pleasure of staying here, we were staying nearby. But we were close enough to stop by for some food on the beach. The food and atmosphere was great!! We would definitely stay here if we every get back to SXM. We also had the good fortune of being introduced to Ricky "The Legend" and hired him as our personal driver for a day and we are so glad we did!! He is so knowledgeable about the island and showed us many parts of the island that we would have never seen on our own. Definitely recommend staying here and recommend Ricky "The Legend"! He is truly a blessing!!

Atrium Beach Resort and Spa St Maarten a Ramada by Wyndham

Atrium Resort & Spa is your getaway in paradise. The smallest island in the world to be shared by two sovereign powers (The Netherlands and France), St. Maarten provides a winning blend of Caribbean hospitality and European sophistication. Rolling hillsides, blue lagoons, and breathtaking views are just a few reasons why so many visitors return every year to this island. With its half-mile of natural beach and an array of nearby water sports, the Atrium is practically paradise. This quiet, beachfront resort overlooks the calm Caribbean Sea and is minutes from the glamorous nightlife and duty-free shopping of both the Dutch and French sides of the island. Adjoining the resort's pool area is a Spanish tapas bar, Picante. In addition to light and delicious fare, Picante also features a jazz club. If tranquility, luxury, and a full-service staff are what you want, then Atrium is the place for you.

Short walk to Restaurants, shopping etc. Love the small intimate beach. Rooms are a bit dated but very clean. Kyle on the beach took good care of us as did the resort staff. If you are looking for quiet this may not be the place for you but if you want to be in the heart of Simpson Bay this is perfect. We will be back.

Beyond Expectations!

Reviewed By Hinze1965

This tucked in and buttoned down property is an amazingly beautiful and quaint find. Our crew rented the bottom 4 rooms and were delighted in all aspects of the property and location. The pictures found on the web do not do this place justice it's 100X times more beautiful once you get there! You will not be disappointed:) Amazing views and the guests host owners are the sweetest nicest people. Walk down the beach and enjoy the famous Karakter's Bar and Grill with really good food...Coconut Shrimp are awesome...Sunday dance party is the best! The view of the harbor and mountains on the other side with the clear turquoise waters makes it a top notch experience. When you go and you definitely should give a hug to the island dog we fell in love with that lives next door "Botchie" he will greet you with a warm friendly tail wag that compliments the entire friendly island vibe and makes you want tome back in another life just like him. Cheers and 5 Stars to the Horny Toads Guest House!

Wow what a great experience we had at the commodor suites.

Reviewed By jessicabentata

We had a wonderful stay at the commodor suites. What a beautiful and luxury place. We rented the penthouse, what felt like a movie entourage. We slept like a rose in the XXL bed and the bathroom has the wow factor. Everything is very clean and the staff member are lovely. They brought a smile to my face. An extra suprise was the jucci on the rooftop, so we could look at the stars while enjoying the warm water. You can also enjoy the view at sunset on the lounge set. The strange thing is that although Commodor suites is nearby a busy road, inside the apartment you don't hear any noise whatsoever. The view is great and its nearby the harbour. What's also great about this place is that the super market is just down stairs. So if you don't feel like going out for a bite (breakfast or dinner) you can help yourself at the deli with delicious food, fresh made everyday. I really recommend the commodor suites to everyone who's staying at the friendly eiland. So don't hesitate if you want to have a great experience. Thank you commodor suites Love Jessica
