2 Best Hotels in St. Martin and St. Maarten

Background Illustration for Hotels

St. Maarten/St. Martin accommodations range from modern megaresorts such as the Radisson and the Westin St. Maarten to condos and small inns. On the Dutch side many hotels cater to groups, and although that's also true to some extent on the French side, you can find a larger collection of intimate accommodations there. Off-season rates (April through the beginning of December) can be as little as half the high-season rates.

Bleu Emeraude

$$$ | 240 bd. de Grand Case, Grand Case, 97150, St. Martin

Be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the ocean in one of the spacious units of this tidy complex set on a sliver of Grand Case Beach. Studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments (the biggest accommodates six people) all have great views—with big sliding-glass doors to showcase them—and are beautifully furnished with blue or green accents. Apartments are accessible to those in wheelchairs by elevator, and there is both outdoor and indoor parking. You can request a crib or high chair, but availability is limited.

Pros

  • Modern and updated
  • Walk to restaurants
  • Attractive decor

Cons

  • Neighborhood can be noisy
  • Family-friendly but not much for kids to do
  • Can be an hour or more from the airport on busy days

The Cliff at Cupecoy Beach

$$$ | 7 Rhine Rd., Cupecoy, St. Maarten

Some of the privately owned units available to rent at this luxurious, high-rise condo complex are downright fabulous, and all have sweeping vistas, large living and dining rooms, and fully-equipped kitchens with stainless-steel appliances. For extra privacy, separate elevators serve only two units on every floor. On-site amenities include the chic Mario Bistrot, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pools, and a fitness center with a sauna and a whirlpool tub. 

Pros

  • Porto Cupecoy and Maho restaurants are nearby
  • Good for families
  • Close to SXM airport

Cons

  • Limited hotel-style services
  • Traffic and some nearby construction
  • Reaching Baie Orientale or Philipsburg is a chore
