Divi Little Bay - All Suites

Divi Little Bay was a beautiful and relaxing resort, however they tended to cater towards the time share owners on the resort. The food was VERY expensive and the waitstaff service was slow/unfriendly. We were not aware that the dinner restaurant (Toucan) only offered an overpriced bbq buffet for $33pp on Thursdays and you weren't able to order anything else. We were starved and had to eat a sad ham and cheese sandwich from the deli ($8). If I were to go back, I wouldn't choose Divi Little Bay because it was more for time share owners and far away from nightlife/casinos. Plus, the dining options were poor. Very unhappy about the dining options. Since the resort is a good drive to the airport area, and that you have to take an expensive taxi into town at night, we were left unsatisfied with the restaurants on the resort as noted above. This resort is great for relaxing on the beach, and the property is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! But if you want dining/nightlife, this resort is not for you.

It was more than what I expected..... ...I must say I did enjoy Divi Little Bay; it was more than what I expected. The room was exactly what I wanted down to the pictures online. The only issue I had was that the phone in our room, wouldn't allow you to dial out and we called the front desk to ask for any suggestion and they were unhelpful and short (an I don't care attitude). The T.V also had about 5 channels that only came in clear half the time. To me the staff (Maintenance, cleaning staff, waitress, and hostess) was the BEST. For me they get 5 stars. Nice, helpful, friendly, courteous...Front desk gets about 2 1/2 Stars. I don't think I should have to ask the maintenance staff where the restaurants are located on the resort or where the fitness center is? I believe that is what the front desk does when you check in? Hmm..Maybe I am mistaken. Overall we enjoyed our stay, and would stay there again. But next time would try other restaurants outside the hotel.

Best location on the island, close to shopping and everything. Fantastic beach, not the best sand, but still a very nice beach. Can snorkel right off the beach as snorkel trips are being dropped off continuously right at our spot. We were placed on the hill in a time-share which was really nice, had a full kitchen, large refrigerator and terrific view. Our friends were in a hotel room right off the beach which was nice but the rooms were small.

I have heard so many great things about the hotel but unfortunately didnt get there due to Hurricane Erica

The hotel's location was great. You will see some wonderful views as only in post cards. Staff is not so friendly except the few that was very nice. Rooms are priced pretty reasonably but food there was not so good and very pricey. Breakfast is the worst and i recommend a very good restaurant also very close called Chesterfieds, All the cab drivers knows this place. Go there for breakfast. You wont regret it. The rooms are OK but the suites are great, walk in closet, jacuzzi, nice balcony, kitchen and even washer and dryer and some even have big 40 inch flat screen tv's. I liked the place so much that i even bought a time share there. Trust me if you go there ask for the suites. You wont be disappointed. Over all i strongly recommend this place.

Had a great and restful time. Beach service was excellent. Taxi service overcharged the normal rate during normal hours. Shops and food facilities were very good and reasonably priced for the islands.

The hotel was near (walking distance) Philipsburg the capital of the Dutch side. The exterior of the hotel is beautiful, nice location with room viewing the beach. Rooms were nice, although we had some trouble with the hot water. The hotel restaurant was really nice, good price, excellent food and service. Overall, for the price it is nice. But if I have the chance to go back to St. Maarten (which I will do) I would try to find another hotel. If you are traveling on a budget this is nice place to stay.

THE LOCATION OF THE DIVI IS GREAT. CHECK IN WAS A PROBLEM, HOTEL COULDN'T FIND MY RESERVATION. CHECK IN WAS VERY LATE. BEACH TOWELS WERE ALSO A PROBLEM, NOT ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN A EMPTY RESORT. OVER PRICED DRINKS,AMAZING HOW THE PRICES CHANGED DAILY.I'VE STAYED IN ST.MARTIN 5 TIMES BEFORE THIS TRIP.I WOULD ONLY GO BACK TO DIVI FOR THE LOCATION OF PROPERTY. I THINK I'LL TRY THE RADISSON NEXT TIME.

The Divi resort has a quiet beach overlooked by the standard rooms. Rooms are basic but clean and adequate. The resort has two places to eat, one for lunch, another for dinner. Food was comparatively priced to restaurants outside the resort. Wait staff were friendly on the whole, which was more can be said for those working the front desk. A small shop and supermarket are on site but prices are ridiculous. We walked out of the resort to nearby Philipsburg, the capital of the Dutch side. The walk is approximately 20-25 mins and takes you to a variety of places to eat/drink and shops. However, here is the word of warning for venturing outside the resort: be aware that after dark you should consider the town unsafe. There is little police presence and theft, prostitution, drug and alcohol abuse are common. Our one major complaint was the lack of warning about the situation outside of the resort. After having our hire car broken into and another guest being held-up at knife point we suggested that the resort staff warn guests to take appropriate precautions. The resort staff said they were unaware of any problems. I considered this to be a dangerous level of denial as the problems and potential dangers were made obvious to us in the five days we were there. The lack of acknowledgment by the staff was simply irresponsible, and the denial of any problems clearly a lie given that uniformed security staff patrol the resort's grounds. Otherwise, despite being robbed the stay on the island was great and the resort's location ideal with a family friendly beach with good snorkeling and swimming. The island is beautiful, just take sensible precautions and care if you go exploring.

Everything was good except for the housekeeping. Service related to housekeeping was very bad.
