The property was very nice. The staff was fantastic. The concerns about noise are very much overblown (to us). The beach is good and we loved the location because we could easily walk over to Captains Rib Shack and some of the other jerk spots. We would definitely stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was very spacious and the view was superb. Everyone that we spoke with during our stay were very courteous and helpful. The happy hour menu at the pool bar was great as was all of the included amenities. The resort was conveniently located close to the airport and there were many restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again on our next visit and recommend it others looking to visit Sint Maarten.

The pool was too shallow. The pool was great, if you like to stand in water. But if your desire is to swim it is horrible. Simpson Bay Villas and Resorts have better pools
