HOTELS AND RESORTS
St. Maarten/St. Martin is an island that has accommodations to suit almost everybody’s budget or dream, right across the spectrum. She boasts everything from 5 star, first class, world-renowned hotels to charming little guesthouses, all-inclusive resorts and time-share properties.
Many hotels are located close to or directly on the beach or have swimming pools, or both!
A number of larger resorts on the Dutch side have their own casinos, restaurants and nightclubs right on the premises. On some resorts, you’d never have to leave except to go sightseeing.
The Horizon View Beach Front Hotel
recently underwent a complete make-over, now featuring modern apartment suites and above average amenities, such as free Internet access. Located in the heart of the Philipsburg shopping district and also directly on the beach, the Horizon View Beach Front Hotel offers the best view of Great Bay from some of the most spacious rooms in the island’s charming capital.

Summit Hotel
One of St. Maarten’s best kept secrets is going to be spoiled: we are telling you now about the Summit Hotel, a resort that opened its doors at a time vacationers were just discovering the island as a destination. Overlooking the most beautiful part of the expansive Simpson Bay Lagoon, with further vistas over the French side’s capital of Marigot and the neighboring island of Anguilla, the Summit Resort Hotel’s several low-rise, cottage-style buildings are standing on a bluff in St. Maarten’s Gold Coast area, close to the Cupecoy region.

VACATION RENTALS
Spending a vacation in one of St. Martin’s glamorous villas is a popular alternative to booking a room in a resort. The unbeatable comfort and privacy of a private home can also be an amazingly economical solution for larger families or groups, splitting the cost per bedrooms amongst themselves and thus paying less per bedroom than they would in a luxury resort.
Both the Dutch and the French side have an amazing selection of villas and rental apartments; there are modest studio apartments and cottages for the budget minded visitors and ultra-luxury million-dollar estate homes for the ones who can afford to indulge themselves. In recent years, the island’s Dutch side has seen many new developments come up, with a broad choice of luxury apartments now available as vacation rentals. The French side, and here especially the region called Terres Basses (Lowlands) is traditionally well positioned to capture the market for luxury vacation villas.
A service industry has developed around vacation rentals: several brokerage offices with decades of experience are accustomed to handle the most discriminating clients. As the renowned gourmet island of the Caribbean, St. Martin has the catering talents and resources to create gala dinners far away from restaurants. For high-profile clients, there are personal security services and limousine services available.
Jennifer’s Vacation Villas
is offering villas and condominiums on both the Dutch and the French side of the island. The company’s founder Jennifer left New York over 30 years ago and settled on Sint Maarten. Over the decades, she has build up one of the most recognized vacation villa rental agencies. Jennifer’s Vacation Villas has a loyal following of guests, who return to the island year after year.

TIMESHARE
For decades, St. Maarten/St. Martin has been one of the world’s leading timeshare destinations with very high owner satisfaction being the key to the industry’s success. For a long time the larger resorts have been sold out and only recently have the industry’s leaders added more capacity to their properties.
The owners of timeshare properties have become an integral part of St. Maarten’s community; they are remembered by local residents and welcomed with open arms.
You should take the time and visit one of our sparkling resorts! Maybe the idea of having the possibility to return to the island year after year at reasonable cost is as appealing to you as to the other tens of thousands of couples who own their piece of paradise.
