Located so close to shops, beach, and dining. Rooms were stocked with only 2 towels, 2 coffee pods, you could have only 2 beach towels a day, etc. Feels like these stipulations remove the luxury feel a bit.

We have been to St Martin many times and this was the best place we have stayed, by far. The staff was amazing, the room was spacious and included a small kitchen. The location, on the beach, was also amazing. We can't say enough about the staff to include the reception, the maid service and the dining staff. You couldn't ask for better service from the gals in the dining are.
