Simpson Bay Resort, Marina & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We had an incredible time at this resort. The location was fantastic, and I appreciated the resort’s bus service for convenient transportation. The staff was friendly and helpful. However, I found the pool by the bar to be too deep for my liking, which prevented me from fully enjoying it. We also made some adorable cat friends, haha. I love it!"

"I only have great things to say about our stay at the Hilton Royal Palm in SXM! My husband and I stayed there last week, and we truly enjoyed every moment. Our room was exceptionally clean and had everything we could possibly need. It honestly felt like we had our own little apartment or Airbnb. We had an incredible ocean view from our private balcony, which was absolutely breathtaking! The staff was polite, friendly, and very responsive whenever we had questions or needed assistance. The location was also perfect—very centralized, convenient, and within walking distance of everything along the strip. It’s also very close to the airport, which made getting there and back incredibly easy. I would highly recommend the Hilton Royal Palm to anyone visiting SXM. Our stay was comfortable, relaxing, and truly enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again!"
