I visited for my Birthday in May and I was very impressed with everything!! The check- in process, the staff, my suite was a 1.bedroom on the Oceans side and it was beautiful. The property was maintained very well and I would see the staff working hard to do so daily!! I must say my stay was extra special because of the manager Tina!!! She was spectacular and so resourceful. Tina is genuinely friendly and caring and always made sure my party and I were always happy. I recommend this hotel for sure. I will be back this year!!!

Flamingo Beach Resort by Diamond Resorts

Beautiful white sand, sparkling blue waters, sunny skies - where else can you find all of this but in Saint Martin/Saint Maarten in the Caribbean? When you stay at Flamingo Beach Resort, you will have all of this, and more. Here you can have the most relaxing vacation of your life, or enjoy some of the many outdoor adventures in the area. If you love water sports, you can go windsurfing, swimming and snorkeling. See the scenery on horseback, or go for a hike along the many trails. You will never be bored while you are staying here, unless of course you simply want to sit back and do nothing, which you are more than welcome to do. Just imagine spending a week or longer just lying around on the beautiful beaches.

Beautiful well kept property.

A Little Piece of Paradise!

Reviewed By Jspecs79

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! ?

Phenomenal team treated us like family; excellent food; nice rooms with full ocean view; suboptimal beach

Reviewed By crosvs

This was our first trip in 2+ years; our first with our new baby; and my wife's birthday celebration, too. Unfortunately, due to a room mixup at La Playa Orient Bay (review forthcoming pending a dispute), we had to change hotels after our first night, and Naomi and the rest of the front desk staff literally saved our vacation by getting us into a spectacular full ocean view room on Day 2 of our vacation. So first things first, a *HUGE* shout out to Anissa, Davia, Latoya, John, Kelly, and Mathilda! You guys totally treated us like family; and we miss you all. Thank you for your kindness, your sincerity, your helpfulness. Our little one says hi! :) As for the hotel itself: - Vibe: 5/5. Very modern/chill Southern California vibe but without a crazy party ambience; the perfect balance of "cool" yet "relaxing" - Food: 5/5: By far the best food around SXM - Service: 5/5. Everyone from the front desk, restaurants, beach bar, and even the room cleaning team, is second to none (though room service is not provided). - Comfort/quiet: 5/5. Exceptionally quiet and comfortable rooms. The upgraded rooms are awesomely modern, but the non-upgraded rooms actually offer a few benefits like a ceiling-mounted fan so you can turn off the AC at night and leave the window open to hear the waves outside. (We experienced both rooms due to limited availability necessitating a room change.) - Beach: 3/5. It's calm and pretty, so good for families with babies in the sense that it's not rough waters; unfortunately however, the sand is full of debris including broken glass that made for an unpleasant feel. Also, frequent cruise ship passengers spike the beach crowd from several 10s of people to several 100s (or more). Fortunately, Divi Beach is just a 5-10 minute tax ride away and is one of the finest beaches on the island with no crowds, great casual food, and beach chairs/umbrellas and cabanas available ($15-$30). A huge thank you again to the entire team at Holland House. You guys rock. We'll miss you! *hugs*

Private stay

Reviewed By O8101KUsarar

Our room was clean and had all of the basic items we needed. Great AC for those that need a cool room in the heat. Amazing view of the ocean! The front desk staff was attentive and responsive for questions or requests that we had. Not to mention, we were set up with a private COVID19 test at the front desk (required for our return flight home) which was very convenient for us! If we find ourselves back on the island, we’ll be back to Princess Heights
