We loved it so much and can’t wait to go back! We were a little apprehensive about being so close the airport, but that ended up being part of the fun. We enjoyed all of the restaurants at this resort and the sister resort. The views are spectacular, the staff was nice and accommodating for the most part, and the grounds are nicely kept. Big shout out to Sheryl at the pool bar, she had the best attitude and gave us advice on things to do. All and all, we wouldn’t hesitate going back and doing it all over again. Highly recommend if you want a relaxing vacation in a beautiful spot!

Hotel's Favorite
Decided to go to Sint Maarten for my bday and chose this hotel. The hotel was very clean upon arrival and check in was easy! We chose the swim out room which is amazing! Who doesn’t want to be in their personal looking at the ocean. The room was clean our sliding doors didn’t locked but the fixed it after a fews calls to the front desk! Room is a little smaller than usual hotels with the swim out but who cares! The hotel staff was very nice well some of them! First Sharon @ the Ocean Terrace is amazing ! We had an issue with one of the waiters the first night and from then on out Sharon made sure we were taken care of! The bartender at the Oasis Bar is a sweetheart ! As far as food it’s ehhh! I don’t want to give it bad review because I’m vegan so my options were limited. It had its days ! The vegan burger and Margarita Pizza was amazing tho! All I’m all I will be back and I will be here! They made the Covid crisis easy . Thank Sonesta for the best bday!!!!…

Where do I even begin?! My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. We decide to splurge and go with the swim up junior suite. That was the BEST decision! We loved being able to come back to our room and unwind with just the 2 of us for the majority of the week in our pool! The staff on the adult only side is TOP NOTCH! Specifically Niel, Mat, Shingai, and Kadesha! They really made our trip so memorable by making our experience special every time we we interacted with them! Definitely go to the tour desk to book any excursions! We did the rhum distillery tour and going through them, the package included transportation and lunch! We also rented a car from the lobby and it was super simple and convenient! This was our first time at an all inclusive and I can say, they absolutely set the bar high!…

Everyone there was friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were top notch. The view of the ocean from my room was amazing. The beach was gorgeous. I felt completely safe as a woman walking around and exploring the sites. I would definitely go again.

Most beautiful views and friendliest staff! We have stayed at a ritz not as nice as this. We have a local sonesta where we live and this was so far above what we expected! Excellent food, staff and clean- and I am picky. We couldn’t believe the value. The planes landing add to the experience and don’t bother you! Maho beach is beautiful and even though a little eroded, easy and pleasant to swim from. 10/10 experience

Just returned 5 days ago and wish I was still there. What a wonderful resort and staff. Kudos to Sheryl at the adult pool and Jean at the lobby bar ( Ocean Point ). The entire staff except 1 bartender were all exceptional. Room was clean and water pressure was excellent. Food was average. We had lasagna at the buffet and it was the best meal we had. Wonderful. Pool is awesome for watching the planes and from 3-5p they have musicians there playing light music, nothing to blow your ears out. The Planes , the planes the planes. Excellent viewing and the main reason we went. You can wander down to Tortuga and rent 2 chairs and 2 drinks for 30.00 and watch the planes right over your head. No need to go to the Sunset bar unless you want to. The ocean is a bit rough but beautiful. Book a spa on the cliff at Serendipity with Flores, you wont be disappointed. Most all inclusive I have been too do not encourage or accept tips. At Ocean Point it seems to be the norm and is accepted. Beware that the buffet is shared by both resorts. For quieter meals use the Ocean Point restaurants. Choices seemed limited though. There are a few shops outside the hotel for any souvenir shopping and high end jewelry. Great margaritas at 3 amigos ( not included ) Overall you will not be disappointed in this resort. I'd go back again and again…

We stayed at Sonesta Ocean Point the adults only side but what was great you still have access to the entire resort. Highly would recommend this resort. The staff, food, cleanliness and ocean view is absolutely top notch. The view from our room was breathtaking. We were lucky enough to be able to see the planes fly in and that is something everyone must see. The view of Maho Beach was priceless. Sherryl at the Point Pool is awesome. We loved getting to know her and see her daily. Eddie at the lounge in Sonesta Gambling bar, is great!! Shingai at Azul, was the best. So accommodating and friendly and loved our conversations. The food on this resort was excellent. The Italian restaurant Portofino was incredible. Chicken parmesan was amazing and the seafood dish my husband got he said was phenomenal. Azul is top notch when you want a variety of food. We ate their many times for breakfast, lunch and supper. The calamari was spot!!! Jabiola, took care of our room daily and it was always turned down at night and always a fresh and clean feeling. I would go back to this place in heartbeat!! Everything about it we loved and you are close to be able to go off the resort and still do things ands feel safe. We will be back. …

A group of 4 adults enjoyed our 11th All-inclusive vacation together at Sonesta Ocean Point on the beautiful island of Sint Maarten. We had a super quick 5-minute drive to the resort from the airport. Our check in was very fast. We had booked the 2 rooms 10 months previously, booking a Deluxe Junior Suite hoping to get an upper floor with amazing views. About a month before arrival our travel agent contacting the resort to verify a great view. Our original 2 rooms were 302, and 405. Our friends in 405 were happy with their view. We were over the roof, and did not have a good view at all. We immediately returned to the front desk, and Saunny and Shaneya said that after 2 nights we would be able to “downgrade with no refund” to a regular Junior Suite with the view we wished. We were totally fine with that-views are important to us. The 3rd day we moved to room 514 which had an incredible view of the beach, the runway, and the sea. Fabulous!! We were pleased that it was handled so well by the front desk. The Junior Suite rooms are a bit smaller, less furniture, and only 1 sink in the bathroom, but the Deluxe Rooms are not necessarily the best views-just a larger room. Obviously, it all comes down to what you are looking for in a room-we love views!! In our original room they had decorated for hubby’s birthday, with balloons, a card, and cookies. It was super special-and we were pleased that he was honored in this way! There are 2 pools-the Edge Pool with a clever man-made beach, and the Point Pool with amazing views of Maho Beach. Planes can be observed from both pools-and we were super entertained every day from the resort, as well as from Maho Beach proper, watching the planes take off and land. We used both pools, and enjoyed the different experiences at each pool. The Edge Pool is quieter. The Point Pool had a gentleman walking around with cold, scented cloths-which was so nice because the real feel temperature was 104 each day that we were there!!! The dining at this upscale, adult-only resort is the best we have ever experienced in an all-inclusive. Azul was amazing! We had most breakfasts here-which are buffet style. Lunch and dinner are both 5 course meals-and the menus change every single day. The service was amazing-with warm scented cloths brought out by the server before both lunch and dinner. Jenneal was our server a few times-and remembered our names! We also had a few meals at the buffet (shared between the resorts) when we were a bit short on time. It was pretty traditional buffet fare. Portofino is that Italian restaurant for Ocean Point guests only. We did dine here-but the night before we had accidently gone to La Fontana, which is the Italian for both properties. Children were there, and it is a much louder experience. Our server at La Fontana was not very good-and actually the only staff member at the resort that was not 100% happy to be there working in paradise. The rest of the staff went above and beyond every single day with a smile on their faces! We had a couple lunches at The Palms Grill, which was shared between the 2 resorts and very good. The Spa was located at Sonesta Maho for both resorts. Our last full day we always do a spa treatment. We both had a 90 minute massage, (Warm Stone and Serenity Blend) and added on hydrotherapy bath. Although not included in our package, we were given a bottle of champagne and a plate of fruit. The massages were great, and we appreciated the generous extra gifts! Besides being entertained by the planes, we absolutely loved seeing amazing sunsets every single night, and a few sunrises over the mountains from our balcony. The first night we went to the Sunset Bar (which actually opens at 8PM??), but after that we saw every sunset from Bluefin Restaurant Bar. Each night the sunset was absolutely gorgeous!!! There was entertainment every night-but because we were up early enjoying sunrise and coffee out on our balcony, we never made it to the entertainment!!! When we first arrived the sargassum was pretty bad. Our taxi driver told us it was the worst that she had ever seen. Obviously, that is Mother Nature, and has zero to do with the hotel. As the week went on it was much less. It did not really bother us-but Maho Beach was affected, and it was sad to watch the workers unsuccessfully trying to rake it away. Generally, this side of the island has no trouble with sargassum-but there was a wind shift and the sargassum was everywhere. Sonesta Ocean Point does not exactly have “a designated beach area”-Maho Beach is a couple minute walk. Maho is a great beach to enjoy the planes-but can be very busy in the afternoons as the cruise ship passengers arrive. In the morning the beach is serene and quiet. Housekeeping was spectacular in both of our rooms. Janeeza was the housekeeper in 514, where we spent most of our nights. Daily, we left her a little note with our tip. On our last morning she handed us a written note telling us how appreciative she was of our daily notes. That brought a tear to our eyes. Before leaving home we contacted a taxi driver who took us out for 4 different days touring the island and visiting attractions. We enjoyed our time with her! We absolutely loved our stay at Sonesta Ocean Point, and would highly recommend it. We had an amazing week!…
