This hotel was a nightmare from the start. We arrived at the hotel and was greeted by numerous cats lurking in and around the front lobby. When we finally got our room (rather quickly) we were escorted to the very back of the property. It seemed deserted. We passed the pool, there were no chairs out, no pool attendants and... more

This resort is a disgrace. It is in need of complete renovation. The Spa manager tried to scam us stating that the brochure she handed to us had incorrect price (Even though the brochure was on the countertops of the spa). The sink faucets leaked. The room needs painting. Walls chipped and stained everywhere. The tub was clogged. After 4... more

We stayed there for 5 nights as guests of friends who booked a 2BR, 2 BA suite. The location was good, but to go anyplace on SM, it is a long drive, especialy in the busy times. The roads are awful, mostly potholes and speed bumps. The hotel itself looked good on the outside, with a guard at the bridge... more

Rooms - Old, musty smell with little updates. Service - Terrible they either took their time showing up or not at all. Our fan didn't work, we never had washcloths, our cable TV got 3 channels. Zee Best Breakfast-need more than 1 serving staff and watch out the danish trap, you think they are complimentary but they aren't $10 usd,... more

We were immediately concerned and walked around facility it was dirty and in complete disrepair. We immediately went to front office and tried to call RCI to see if we could... more

I just returned from 9 days at the Princess Port de Plaisance Resort. After reading many previous reviews, I was really concerned that it would be a mistake, but it was a RCI exchange and I have not been disappointed in the past. This was low season, the resort was very quiet - not all was open. The pools were... more

We traveled to the PDP on a timeshare exchange. Based on the reviews I read before we left, I was very worried about the conditions we would find. We've been to St Maarten twice before (Royal Islander and Flamingo) and knew that we would have preferred a beach location, but needed 2 bedrooms and PDP was the only offering that... more

We have a timeshare in Olando through RCI so we trade every year to go to St. Maarten. This year we were unable to stay at Sapphire Beach or the Pelican and Port de Plaisance was offered. From the minute we got there til we left it was awful! The rooms are old and not clean, bathrooms old, cracked mirrors,... more

We recently returned for the pdp and we were shocked at the condition of the resort. The amenities that were written in the brochure and the RCI book were there but they were not open. The pool was missing hundreds of tiles, The bars were not open, the marina store was not open and the mini-market was closed and empty.... more

We stayed at PDP this year in May after a year's absence. We were quite pleased with the changes that have been made. We normally have a Studio unit, but our unit was being used as a model, so we were upgraded to a one-bedroom. The unit was quite clean and had been upgraded since our last visit. New upholstery... more
