“Great week away!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013 via mobile

As usual the staff at Divi Little Bay were wonderful. Thank you Leroy, Rudy, Juan, Guillam, Roxanne, Vernon and Walter! One of the new bartenders(Nigel) was a bit disrespectful, i won't be talking to him any time soon!

The resort looks great, could use a little better cleaning of the rooms. Cabinets were sticky and lampshades could use a good dusting. Other than that, everything was wonderful

“Divi is great!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 11, 2013 via mobile

Right on the ocean, facing west, great sunsets! Staff is very friendly, fun tiki bar, good restaurant and convenient store on the property. We rented a car and drove around the island. The French side where the Westin is located is a beautiful property but isolated. The Dutch side where Divi is located is a short ride, $15.00 including tip, to Philipsburg. Sunset beach bar and the best casinos are closer to the airport. Philipsburg is slow at night, active during the day. If you are driving expect the unexpected from other drivers. They will stop to talk to friends along the road, pull out or turn in front of you and scooters zip down the middle of the road, very exciting! The Divi property is great, I hate to leave I two days but I know that I will be back next year.

“Don't Even Try to Check in Early, But Nice Place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 10, 2013

Little Divi has a four PM check in time. Don't expect any earlier, and you might not even get in at that time either. Now, I understand, this is policy, but for a resort that is recommended by a cruise company, and knowing some guests get in early, there HAS to be a better way. They are nice about letting you check your bags in the back and it appears they stay safe there, so you can enjoy the beach. However, it is disconcerting to try to manage all the bags with a husband using a cane, and staff watching as I tried to negotiate all my bags down the ramp. We stayed for two separate nights, before and after our cruise. The place is very pretty, very photogenic. The beach is lovely. ON the second stay, check in was a horror, and it took four phone calls and a publc appearance to get towels, after our room was "ready" at four PM. When we got there, the housekeeper was still sweeping and mopping. She too forgot the towels. Elvis finally managed, but not after we were told by the front desk that housekeeping hung up on them. The dinner buffet outdoors was mediocre, worsened by some rain, nobody's fault there. The resort covers a large area and shuttle transport was very good back and forth. Nice bar, nice parrot. Good drinks. Room assignments seem very strange. It's almost like they are on a first come,first served basis and not preassigned. Odd.

Room Tip: If you don't get around well, ask for a room closer to the lobby, but dont expect a guarantee, a...

“Divi Little Bay Resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 6, 2013

Divi Little Bay Resort has to be the prettiest resort on the island. The location and landscaping is exquisite, and you are within walking distance (or a short cab ride) to the capital, Phillipsburg, on the Dutch side. We had a casita directly across from the capital and were delighted to see the various cruise ships dock and leave each day. We loved the size and the accommodations - a bedroom, living room, kitchen and one and a half baths. The people were very friendly and helpful. A major complaint - the water took quite some time to get hot, and we were told that had been reported by others. Some amenities which are available at other resorts were missing - couldn't find a pen or a pad, no dishtowels or dishcloths, beach umbrellas are in very poor shape and you are limited to one towel per person, the robes at the spa should be replaced and some of the plumbing fixtures are corroded and are difficult to work. But these things can easily be corrected. Wifi cost "extra". Prices of food and other items at the little store are quite a bit higher than a supermarket - but that is to be expected. After touring the island we realized we had chosen wisely - we thought too many other resorts appeared to be on top of each other, were in poor locations and just didn't have the picturesque "personality" of the island we found at Divi Little Bay Resort. We recommend.
