  A very nice place

  We just returned from this resort. We were with a group celebrating a friend’s Birthday. We were all on the all inclusive plan and we had a nice time. We stayed in the newer building and had a room that was very modern and clean. My only complaint about the room would be that because we were on the first floor, we had very little view of the water from our room. Also, even though we were all inclusive, they would not re stock our room with water or soda. The food was good ish. Not amazing but for sure not bad. The service at most if the places was good but not great. They seemed a little under staffed but not to the point that we ever had a bad experience, just not particularly service oriented. Beach was beautiful and the pools were nice. We also had a couples massage at the spa and it was great!!! Best service we had was at the rooftop bar. Great food and service there. Devin on the beach was also great!! He kept up with all of our drink orders and also food at lunch.

  Friends Trip

  The resort was overall great experience. Rooms were nice, food was great, views were amazing. Jay at the pool bar was the bomb. There were 12 of us and we felt like we were the only people there when he took care of us. Only feedback is when you’re all inclusive there, don’t like having to sign for everything.

  St Maarten is well worth a trip

  So to start at the beginning....Booked through Air Canada Vacations without any issues...We arrived at the airport and there was no air canada vacations rep to be found so we took a cab to the resort...$27 USD for the 3 of us and that what we expected based on researching things prior to booking. Arrived at the hotel and ck in was a simple process...got upgraded to the Oceans section which is newer and most if not all room look out south over the water...we were in room 1222 and had great views of the cruise ship terminal, great bay and Phillipsburg. We didnt get the AI plan and now after tallying up the credit card statement we saved $400 CAD compared to what it would have cost for the AI option. However we had a car and travelled each day so if you prefer to stay on site and just eat and drink from sunup to sundown then maybe the AI plan is a better option...but we were 2 adults and a child (8)...also to note for those that do want to start drinking there was no bar services until 1100 or 1200 some days. The resort is cashless with the exception of the little store on site for sundries...all meals and DIVI related expenses are either CC or add to you room...the hotel applies a $400 USD security/cover for expenses on your card at ck in. Also at ck in you were given tickets for free drinks and a draw for an activity that was scheduled for an hour the day after arrival...this was primarily to discuss condo/time share options but we didnt attend...and TBH we werent bothered at all during our stay to buy into the resort...maybe because we were off site quite a bit...There are a variety of restaurants but we only ate at Gizmos (beach) The Shack (mexican) and the Pizza place....a great option for eating is at the Gingerbread Cafe which is a short 300 m walk up the beach. The beach is great, always lots of chairs and calm water...note that when he cruise ships come in some passengers will come to Divi for a day pass. The Fort Amsterdam historic site , end the south end of the resort is a great place to walk to and explore. The pools are open all the time and have lighting at night...and theres also a hot tub and yes its hot...but why would you sit in a hot tub for hours slurping rum drinks when its 33 to 38C out....strikes me as a wee bit Bat S**T crazy IMHO lol....towels are provided on arrival if they have any and are normally delivered/avail at the reception area at 9 am...one thing about our room location was that we could dry everything very easily on the balcony....The day of departure ck out is 10 although the website says 11, but just went to the desk and asked and 11 wasnt a problem...there is a baggage room and hospitality room for changing for later departure...Of note there was no air canada rep at the hotel the entire time nor were there any transfers arranged for travel back to the airport but there are cabs...this issue isnt resort caused this falls on Air Canada Vacations.... shout out to Janry on the cleaning/maintenance staff team and thanks to all the other members who kept it running.

  Amazing people make this resort

  People are amazing. Want to start with recognizing the amazing team that made our stay incredible; Pureocean Restaurant- Amanda, Mimi, Caron. Your smiles started our day out. Pierre @ Gizmos- you are always on point with a smile . Outlet Supervisor Melissa- thank you Housekeeping - Juliet and Janry, Gustave- best pizza maker Sea breeze - Madeline & Rufino, after a long flight wonderful way to start our vacation Guest Services- Sandrine- first smile we seen when we arrived The property is beautiful and the beach outstanding. Lots of chairs, umbrellas and shady areas . The pools are nice and big however, small adult only pool that unfortunately always had kids splashing around. The bars open at 11 am and close at 11pm, there is little to nothing to do after 11pm. The nightly entertainment was good but ended by 10pm, definitely need a little nightlife, maybe till midnight . Food is varied and good however note all restaurants, except Pureocean is open air dining. We had no problems getting reservations but would recommend doing them for the week to ensure you get the seating time you want. Rooms are large with good working A/C and large shower. Note sometime hot water is not available. Found letting the water run for 5 mins worked or early morning. Property is very large with lots of walking and stairs. There are shuttles that bring you around the resort however would not recommend for limited mobility . Would definitely return, if the price is right. Would not pay more than $5000 for a week for 2 people. This based on the limited entertainment, Absolute and Corona ran out everyday by 4pm, bottled water only available during bar hours and NO adult section at all.
