St. Maarten is a beautiful destination, and this resort is perfect for families and couples alike. The beach access right at our doorstep was breathtaking, and the pool, while lively with kids, added to the fun atmosphere. However, the dining experience was hit or miss, and the internet access could be improved. Overall, I would happily return to enjoy the island and its charm again.

The hotel has a nice beachfront location with clean rooms and a full kitchen, making it convenient for cooking during our stay.
