  Divi bay

  The resort was great however st. Maarten wasn't that great. The beaches and snorkeling is awesome. Locals don't like tourists. They tolerate us. We were rear ended in a rental car and had to pay 7k damages before we could leave the island. We are still waiting for travel insurance to reimburse us 3 months later. We couldn't get a police report. They don't return calls or answer phones. Locals choose to live like a third world country. We will not go back to the island and won't recommend it to our friends and family.

  More good than bad.

  We are time share owners in Barbados but have traveled to St Maarten 3 of our last 4 vacations. We have run out of weeks and have to consider what’s next. We like Little Bay for its location, its beach and 2 of the 3 rooms we have stayed. This year, our room in building #12 was a big disappointment. We had to keep the temperature on 22 degrees Celsius which made the one bedroom too cold. Increasing the temp by just 2 degrees caused condensation on the floors throughout the unit. We had to sleep with a blanket the entire time. We also did not know that we could dictate when and how often the room would get cleaned of which days we would receive just new towels and the garbage would be emptied. Because we weren’t told there were 2-days our towels were changed. Because the unit was so cold, our towels wouldn’t dry after use. The good news is that the resort is in the process of remodeling its property. We will return next year to evaluate changes and see if customer service improves before investing in Divi

  Won’t be returning.

  Divi Aruba is where we purchased originally. When we first arrived we couldn’t access our room for an hour, Then 2 hours later I accidentally bumped into Anne Marie, She immediately went into action to square us away. She was actually going home for the evening and I appreciate that she tried to help. But the moment Anne Marie left so did everyone’s desire to help us. ( Anne Marie I had to re write my review because of you and how well you treated my wife and I Thank you. You truly love your job and your resort). But in saying that No one really cares about this place but a select few. I am a huge Divi fanatic. I personally have had 7 friends and family members purchase Divi Vacations. Divi in the beautiful island of Sint Maarten leaves a lot to be desired. The resort isn’t really clean. The hot tub looked like a swirling grease pond, The pool is beautiful but not maintained properly. We first got into the room we were hanging our clothing and putting things in there place. My wife pulled back the bed sheets to take a quick nap after our flight she found blood on the bed sheets. We went to the phone to call…. The phone was dead. I walked to concierge again… “ Ok we will have someone come over…. Never happened. We saw a woman cleaning rooms and we explained about the sheets, She Immediately came over changed the sheets I of course tipped her well. We went to the presentation and again mentioned the phone This was day 3 of our vacation and late that night someone came and fixed it… But the TV’s remained dead. Day 4 the TV’s worked. I was considering bumping up to the next to platinum but all the things we were not having really made me and my wife look at each other and said No not here not now. To be honest I am on the verge of purchasing a car. But I was willing to wait another couple of years so we could become platinum members. And because of how unimpressed with the staff and how the phones were more important that we were we both decided no . It breaks my heart to see such a beautiful place go to pot . We won’t be returning to Divi St. Maarten we were sadly disappointed. And we travel every 4 months just to recharge our batteries. Sorry but we are done there.

  Disappointing based on what the pictures suggest

  The pictures of the hotel pool are deceptive. It looks like there is one big pool, but instead it has three tiers of relatively small pools. I went during low season, so I can’t imagine how busy the pools would be if it were high season. There are also very few chairs poolside. The restaurants are tiny. Even the buffet has few tables—12 in the main dining room, probably 12 in another room, which was closed when I was there. The food is mediocre. Moreover, there are few choices especially if you want to eat healthy food. This is especially true at lunch. The food is also expensive if you’re not staying on the all-inclusive plan. My breakfast would have cost $38 if I were not all-inclusive. I ate a couple pastries, some fruit, and two small yogurts. I also had a bottle of water. The size of the restaurants and pools might be okay if this were a boutique hotel, but there are many buildings at the resort. My building has thirty rooms on its own, and I am in one of the smaller buildings. My room is in the 300’s and I see a building with rooms in the 2,000’s. There are also no public areas that are in the shade. There are no easy chairs or sofas. The two bars that are available for all-inclusive customers are by the pools and have little shade. The same is true for most of the restaurants that serve lunch. There is no water in the rooms. You have to pick it up at the bars. If you are not on the all-inclusive plan, bottles of water cost three dollars. The water is supposed to be cleaner than on many Caribbean islands, but the hotel staff recommend bottled water. The only major plus is that pools do not close at night. There is a rooftop bar, but all guests, except those on the premium plan need to pay. Reservations are also recommended, so it is likely that there is little space there. Finally, while some staff are friendly, others are not. Some of the staff also argue loudly in front of the guests. I would have given the resort fewer stars if I had been here during high season.
