Simpson Bay Resort, Marina & Spa

I stayed here many times before and used to love it. The breakfast used to be great because here i could get a wide variety of stuff without pork, however this time my breakfast was just like staying in many hotels almost everything is filled with pork which i don't eat.. I know pork is cheaper, but don't expect satisfied guests when it comes to breakfast. I wished they had jacuzzi for late night relaxing with ur partner instead of only in certain rooms. My refrigerator was rusted terribly on one whole side, front door was not closing properly and the tiles in the bathroom weren't cleaned properly, the grout was very dirty as if they only mop the floor, floor was also missing a tile. Not too satisfied this time and it's pitty cause I loved staying here. It is a beautiful hotel kind of big so we had to walk from B rooms to get breakfast and that was a distance. Front desk staff were friendly that i have no complains about. Overall i would give them a 7. Not sure if this is the difference in using booking or trip, cause while using booking things were different. Just saying.

We finally returned to St. Maarten, our first time since 2010, and stayed at the Simpson Bay Resort and we had a wonderful stay for eight days. Resort was wonderful, staff was great and we cant wait to go back. We ate at the Replay sports bar, La Patrona and Juliette's Bistro, all of which were very good. Also had dinner had Pineapple Pete's, NOLA, The Greenhouse, Lee's Roadside Grill (Lee was great, a real nice guy), Skipjack's, and Zee Best and the Yacht Club for breakfast, all delicious. Spent a day in Phillipsburg, went to Parrotville Park (very cool and I recommend it), went to Maho Beach to watch the planes land, stopped at Topper's for some rum tasting, had lunch at Kontiki on Orient Beach, went to Fort Louis, and hit a bunch of casinos. Overall, it was a great trip and we are looking forward to returning soon. Also, a special shout out to Ziggy, the best bartender at the resort.

We spent a week at the Simpson Bay resort. It seems everyone checks in on Saturday or Sunday, it was extremely busy but we were able to get a room right away. The one bedroom unit was spacious, with a living room, kitchen and balcony. We had a room with a partial ocean view. The bedroom faced the back of the resort near the entrance door. The bedroom window had a view of the walkway so you cannot open the curtains or people walking by can see inside. The table on our balcony had an ashtray with ashes in it so it is clear no one cleaned that area after the last guests checked-out. The kitchen was well stocked with quality appliances, pots and dinnerware. Housekeeping only comes twice a week and will not replace towels if they are hanging up. Flushing the toilet was obnoxiously loud, flush suctioned like an airplane toilet but much louder. The power went out at the resort three times while we were there but not for an extended period. The resort is close to lots of restaurants in Simpson Bay and entertainment. There are also 4 restaurants on property. Many excursions depart from the resorts dock, which is very convenient. You have to sign for beach chairs, which I think is genius, this prevents people from reserving beach lounges in the morning and leaving. You can also view a gorgeous sunsets from the resort. I enjoyed my stay at the Simpson Bay resort, it is a large property. There is signage stating they offer resort shuttles but we did not take advantage of them. Overall a great trip to St Martin.

We had a wonderful stay. We stayed in a deluxe studio. It had a fully equipped kitchen including a coffee maker & blender. Housekeeping came daily & our room was more than comfortable with a king bed. We had the breakfast buffet included at La Patronia. There was a great selection and the food was always fresh whether we went at 8:30 or 10:30. We also ate at Juliette’s, Bivon & again La Patronia for dinner. Every meal was great and the service was exceptional. We visited pools (3) and the beach. The bartenders Sophia & Ramon get a special shout out. They were friendly and thoughtful. We enjoyed both of them very much! My husband feels that Sophia was extra special and I can’t say I disagree. The resort is “hilly” but there are shuttles provided if it’s too much for you. Every single staff member we met was friendly, polite and very helpful. We will definitely return.

Loved this hotel! Everyone was very friendly. The hotel itself is very pretty, love the lobby. I enjoyed the coffee shop until 11pm with snacks and good caramel cappuccino. The pool was lovely and I had a good time at the pool bar. I had some delicious pasta at Bovin and a great breakfast and the Mexican restaurant next to it. Both on the property. Lived the location, my room view was gorgeous. They accommodated me with late check out as well. I had no issues getting a taxi very quickly with the help of front desk. My only complaint was that a couple of staff members gave me some misinformation a couple times, just wish they knew about their property or at least said they didn’t know. Nonetheless, I would still definitely return!l

The room was very clean and I had the best sleep ever, so very peaceful. The staff was so friendly and my view was spectacular! This was my first solo trip to the island, but definitely not my last! This is just what the doctir ordered..exhaling!

Definitely stay again Only the bathrooms need ventilation fan The cleaners were very nice. The bartenders was very nice and the people at the front desk. and they had a lot of activities that you can do every day so you will never feel bored and different excursions.

Beautiful view and lots of amenities. The buildings have some age on them (ie our sliding door didn't close all the way and wouldn't lock) but it makes up in friendly staff. Everyone was very helpful. Aniek was especially amazing to work with. We had lots of questions and she was patient, helpful, and pleasant each and every time. Would recommend.
