Wonderful property. Parking was convenient. The view was beautiful and had plenty of space. We could have benefited from an additional key fob. Only having two made it difficult if our group was doing different things at different times.

relaxing at the beach
The experience overall was good. Great being steps away from the beach and having chairs/umbrella set up every day for us. Also enjoyed having direct access from the elevator to our condo which was very convenient. Had just the four of us being my wife, daughter, grandson and me so there was plenty of room. The view from the condo was awesome overlooking the resport and ocean. Would say the condo itself needed some TLC.. New paint, pictures missing off of walls, refrigerator missing holding bin and the other was broken, ceilings in couple rooms needed attention as they were cracked and water stained. One of the toilets were clogged but was able to resolve since there was a plunger in the bathroom. Charis and couch were stained/soiled. Condo had ample number of towels and provided soap in each bathroom along with a starter of dishwashing soap, paper towels and pods for the dishwasher. Great location and will visit the resort again.

Great Unit/Resort
We really enjoyed our stay in St Maarten #1204! It is very spacious with 3bed/3 full baths corner unit. Plenty of space for everyone! We spent a lot of time on the extra large balcony taking in the beautiful water views- doesn’t get much better! Just steps to the beach and daily beach service was great! The condo comes with all the essentials. There is a Walmart across the street which is very convenient. The private elevator is a real bonus too. The complex itself is beautiful and very well maintained. We were disappointed that the tennis court, basketball court, some of the smaller pools and the Sand Bar were closed due to some kind of dispute with the owners/homeowners association. All in all a great place and we hope to visit again soon!
