Finde Hotels in Simpson Bay

The place was clean. Staff was so kind. We had a great time here. Will definitely be back. Walking distance to many amenities and restaurants. Locals are so helpful and nice. I will say there was only 1 major downside. The night before we left the room across the hall from us were cooking at 10:30-11pm at night with the door open and set off the smoke detector approximately 20 times in their room. I called the front desk because at that point it was 11pm and security came by to see what they were doing but didn't tell them anything and they continued to cook and be loud and set off the smoke detectors even after security came by at 11pm. They were definately frying something. I would not be complaining if this was at 8p or 9pm. But 11pm? That's a little late for all this noise. I would suggest there be a better way to handle this in the future as other guests should not have to listen to smoke detectors going off so late at night. Also would hope that next time security would kindly ask them to close the door. Just a suggestion, would not be a bad idea to have some type of ground rules for guests cooking. Thank you!

This was my first time coming to Sint Maartin and I didn’t know what to expect. I had heard good things about the place so I was excited. Arriving in the country I noticed that the hotel doesn’t have an airport shuttle even though the hotel was 10-15 mins away. They did offer a suggestion for a driver and it was $25 to the hotel, ok not a big deal. When I arrived to the hotel which was situated up a hill I didn’t realize the scale of the property. It’s huge! The staff provided a map which outlined the restaurants,pools, beach, etc. The property is designed as an all inclusive but it was definitely not. All the food and drinks were separate and very expensive. Also the menu was very “Americanized” which I know might be someone’s taste but I prefer local dishes. Room: The room was very much outdated but clean. My AC kept going out but each time I called maintenance they responded immediately. Staff: Great staff very friendly. But they could provide more details about the property, internet and also taxis available to take people around. Perhaps work out a deal for them to be waiting and provide daily rates. Walkability: The property provides a shuttle down to the hill but couldn’t go far due to local taxi complaints. There is no uber and walking places, to me weren’t actually that convenient. Positives: The views were amazing, the beach was clean and the water was beautiful. Takeaways: I would plan in advance to hire a driver daily so that you can get to places and find other dining/shopping spots. Also I would plan to have more cash and expect to pay a lot for food. All in all I would recommend this place if they did renovations and you have children.

Our last stay at Baker’s Suites was in 2018. This year we stayed in a Hibiscus Suite for 1 night before a cruise. Hotel is close to the airport ($18 by taxi) and within walking distance of restaurants and food markets. All hotel staff members were friendly and helpful. Room was tastefully decorated, clean, and comfortable with a good bed and pillows. Excellent AC. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Good high speed wifi. Kitchenette was well equipped with refrigerator, cook top, coffee maker, dishes, and utensils. Beach towels were provided in the room. Continental breakfast is no longer provided. Elevator available for access to higher floors, but one might still need to negotiate some steps for room access. Location is just across the street from Kim Sha beach, where sun chair and umbrella rentals are available. Hotel is located on a busy street, so earplugs might be necessary for sleeping. Baker’s Suites was perfect for our short visit, and we would stay there again.

This is on a nice part of the beach in Simpson Bay. It has been here awhile and has been updated some but still has more to do and could use some minor maintenance. It is about 2/3 of the way down the runway and it is interesting to see the planes fly over - but luckily the noise never bothered us at all. Food was varied and very good. Service on the beach both for food and for umbrellas and such was not really up to par and their dogs often created a distraction.
