Panorama Residences at Monte Vista
The only improvement we would recommend is softer pillows. The pillows we had seemed like staging pillows and not comfortable.

Hilton Vacation Club Flamingo Beach St. Maarten
Cheapest big hotel available in St Marten but a bit dark and depressing. Staff seemed very different and less well trained than in a normal Hilton. Only one small restaurant and bar with limited choice.

Oyster Bay Beach Resort
The resort was beautiful! The rooms were spacious and well equipped. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside was the seaweed at the beach.
