Philipsburg Hotel Guide - Great Bay Beach hotels in Philipsburg, Sint Maarten.

"Everything was perfect"

"My birthday vacation was one for the books! The resort is nice the ocean view and location of my room was spectacular! I would recommend giving Divi Little Bay Resort a try. Don’t get talked into a timeshare seminar of 90 minutes that the only drawback. Vee and Lou the bartenders at Gizmo’s were kind and attentive and please be sure the ask about Gizmo the more than 40 year old parrot name for the place that roams and rules the place."

"Freindly atmosphere, clean rooms"

"This will be my GO TO hotel each year going forward. I have always stayed at Maho but WOW!!!! This hotel room 601 was breathtaking. You have a separate bedroom with a washer / dryer and they supply the soap. There are (2) full bathrooms and (2) couches that pull out to beds. There is a full kitchen and the patio in this room is as large as the room with beach chairs and a table. The AC was ice cold, the water was hot. There ic coffee in the lobby and the restaurant on location, Pink Pearl was so good we ate there twice at a great price. (2) people $37. They have pool noodles and rafts for your use and a gated parking lot directly across the street with a clicker you can use to access any time of night. They give you a code to get in front door after hours and your room so no digging for the access key. You are directly on the boardwalk of Phillipsburg where the cruise ships come in and 15 minutes from Maho (at night) daytime traffic in Maho is horrible especially during November and December. You are walking distance to the ferry to go to St Barts or Sabar. DEFINITELY STAY HERE!!!!"

"This hotel is truly an incredible experience! From its prime location to the delicious food and stunning views, every aspect is impressive. The beds are exceptionally comfortable, and the rooms are spotless, modern, and inviting. The staff members are welcoming and friendly, adding to the warm atmosphere. Plus, the nearby restaurants offer fantastic options, making this a stay you won't forget!"

"The perfect place to stay"

"Cozy is indeed the word. A neat little apartment with the possibility to drive your car inside the property. Very clean with the necessities l needed to feel comfortable while staying there. If you intend to cook there is no stove but there are restaurants closeby in driving distance. There is however a fridge, microwave and toastie. I really appreciated to hospitality of the host and the bottle of wine. There is also a mini bar available if you forgot to buy drinks in the apartment. 5 nights in a comfortable bed and pillows. Recommended! "

"The view was amazing! Every morning was peaceful, sitting outside with coffee. To the left, we caught a bit of the sunrise, and to the right, a stunning sunset over Fort Amsterdam.The condo was spotless, on the 2nd floor with a small elevator (and wide stairs). The fully equipped kitchen had both a Keurig and a drip coffee maker. Body soap and hand soap in bathrooms. Hair dryer. The washer and dryer worked great. Bath towels were high-quality, and beach towels, chairs, and an umbrella were provided. Beds were very comfortable. Individual AC in each room kept everyone comfy!The front balcony faced a quiet street at night, while the back balcony was oceanfront. This location is at the far end of the beach, away from cruise ships. They arrive around 8 AM, but most people don’t come this far, so the beach remained peaceful.We rented a car to explore the island but found we loved Great Bay Beach the most—it was the calmest.Matthew was attentive, communicated well, and responded quickly to questions. Parking was easy, with a reserved spot behind the condo gates. The building had a locked keypad entry, and we always felt very safe—both at the condo and throughout the island.A short boardwalk leads to the cruise ship area, where vendors are open during the day but close by 5 PM. The area is quiet at night, with only a few restaurants open. Double Dutch Café on the boardwalk has essentials, and Sunny Foods, a larger grocery store, is just a 5-minute drive (open 8 AM–8 PM, "
