Resort is very modern and well appointed. The spa was wonderful. Great location right on Dawn Beach. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Seems they just recently reopened after renovations which means it’s like new but also needs to work a few kinks out. Overall still would highly recommend.

September 2025. The accommodation was clean, with comfortable beds and a well-maintained bathroom. The staff at the JW Marriott St. Maarten Beach Resort & Spa provided exemplary service. The resort offered a luxurious atmosphere, with notable features including the fitness centers, spa and more... The only minor issue encountered was the lack of clear communication regarding the closure of some on-site restaurants during check-in and Beach Seaweed. Overall, a stay at the JW Marriott Resort & Spa in St. Maarten delivers a premium and comfortable experience, particularly for guests seeking upscale amenities and high-quality service. I highly recommended JW Marriott St Maarten Beach Resort & Spa. I would like to thank Marla Joseph-A (Concierge Manager), Arnaldo Phelipa (Front Office Manager) and Tiana for all your help.

Very quiet spa hotel. Good for relaxing I suppose but not much else. Not much going on on the hotel grounds. The beach is subpar. The on-site restaurants are decent (there are only a few - 1 open full time, 2 bars, and 1 open only part time) but not great. I wasn’t impressed with the food. The service was great, though. My biggest gripe was the fact that the local birds are allowed to hop all over the outdoor tables (on the silverware!!) which is so unsanitary! The on-site store is also quite bare. You can’t even buy a beach towel. Lastly, the power went out for 30 minutes on our last night there. It was not acknowledged, nor was compensation offered, until we asked and pushed for it. Overall, 3/5 stars, I most likely won’t be coming back to this hotel, although I will certainly be back to the island, as St Maarten is BEAUTIFUL and I enjoyed my time. (The Marriott location in St Kitts is a MUCH better experience. I also liked the Negril location in Jamaica. )

The JW Marriott is nice, the rooms were clean and the customer service was great. It is on the east side of the Dutch island (~30 min ride), so it’s best to rent a car to get around (they have free self parking in a covered garage). I got a free upgrade to my room and had an early check in. The dining options are limited, so be prepared to venture outside. My only drawback was reception calling me the night before checkout w/ a fake survey to ask what time I’d be checking out the following day. I thought that was tacky to ask considering checkout is at 12. She proceeded to clean it up and say that they’d be happy to extend my stay.

We had a wonderful stay at the Marriot from 7/23-7/27. The staff were extremely friendly and nice. The hotel is gorgeous. We loved our room. Our only complaint is that they need to move the breakfast. The lunch and dinner menu was very good. The dinner menu choice were excellent and the food was soooooo good. However, we was very disappointed with the breakfast.

From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and impeccable service. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and were incredibly efficient during check-in. My room was not only spotless but also beautifully designed, offering a serene space to unwind after a long day. The attention to detail was evident, from the high-quality linens to the thoughtfully curated amenities. What truly set this hotel apart was the exceptional level of care provided by the staff. Every request was met with enthusiasm and a willingness to go above and beyond. The concierge was a treasure. My stay at this hotel was nothing short of perfect. It's rare to find a place that so seamlessly combines luxury with genuine hospitality. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking an unforgettable experience. It’s not just a place to stay; it’s a destination in itself.
