Was a pleasant surprise

Pros: Quiet, walking distance too food/bars
Have been going to Sint Maarten for 7 years now. Stayed at a few places, next door at Divi twice. Last year, Divi changed exchange rules.Would not let us exchange.(3-5 yr rule?) We loved that area/the employees at Divi.Knew Belair was next door. I was very tentative about how our unit at Belair was going to compare. I can now tell you-I have already booked my exchange for this year back at Belair!! The fact that all unit are RIGHT ON THE BEACH is great. Even if you don't like being in the water, you can still enjoy it. The units may not be as updated as some, but very comfortable and clean. Staff friendly. Not bothered with sales. Was so comfortable and relaxing. We were still able to walk to Divi and visit friends staying there, but all ended up back at our place at Belair after dinner or bars closed due to our unit being directly on the beach. If you are looking for 5 star - don't stay here. Those of us that do stay here don't want you to... If you want a laid back vacation with no pressures from sales or staff, this is a great place to get away!! The lack of "attitude", (which attitude can be so prevalent at some resorts) is refreshing.

Probably best swimming beach on St. Maarten

I was startled to see posted a couple less than great reviews, so I am motivated to respond with our experience of 20 years at the Belair. We became timeshare owners after our first visit, and have found the Belair over these many years to be wonderful, friendly, responsive, unpretentious, with low staff turnover (you know that means good management). It was great when our kids were with us, and now in our retirement with friends. Probably the most knowledgable activities advisor and best beach on the island. EVERY room has a great beach view as they all have balconies onto the beach; we cook in most of the time and the kitchen works great for us. We arrive, pick a spot on the beach and our chaises are labeled w/our names for the duration of our stay...always available and shaded by umbrellas. From the Belair, you can walk into Phillipsburg or stroll to the top of the peninsula that separates Belair on Little Bay from Phillipsburg.. and view Great Bay Harbor from the old Fort at the top. You'd have to have a pretty negative, entitled attitude not to enjoy this resort
