Top Downtown Philipsburg Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Maho Beach All Inclusive Resort Casino & Spa

8/10 Good

"Great location, family friendly, in walking distance to many restaurants and shops."

Fourteen at Mullet Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic experience. We arrived early and were pleased that we could check in ahead of schedule. The location is excellent—just a short 200-yard walk to the beach. Our unit was spotless and offered a beautiful ocean view. There is a casino with several dining options right across the street, and there is always transportation readily available. I would definitely stay here again."

Sonesta Ocean Point All Inclusive, Adults Only Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Despite other reviews I have seen, I was very impressed with the service we received. All the staff were great and personable. The rooms were cleaned daily and the view from the room was amazing. The food was delicious. Azul was our favorite. The sunset was spectacular. I definitely recommend the Ocean Point."

The Atrium Beach Resort and Spa, an Ascend Collection Resort

8/10 Good

"The bathroom didn't look totally clean, but the rest of the room was. From check-in to check-out the staff was helpful and friendly. Kitchen had all of the amenities needed. Although, one hiccup was that the coffee mugs were on the highest shelf in the cabinet. I stood on a chair to get one down, but it isn't convenient when the cups are unreachable. It was a quiet room, and I enjoyed my stay overall."

Hommage Hotel & Residences

8/10 Good

"The staff was very friendly and approachable. The room was clean but I did not understand why the refrigerator was outside on the porch. The property was well manicured. The food was excellent but why it did not have a soup on the menu. Although an iron was available, why aren't irons in each room?"

Seaview Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"September is the perfect time to visit Seaview Beach Hotel. The pace of Sint Maarten slows down, allowing you to enjoy a truly “local” experience. The Seaview team has really embraced the legacy of this historic hotel while adding modern amenities, making it a perfect blend of old and new. Added bonus: Seaview’s flexible cancellation policy gives peace of mind, if an unexpected situation arises 🌀. Many thanks to the whole team for an amazing stay!"
