Just Back from Sint Maarten

We just returned from five days in Sint Maarten! We'll be bringing you updates from the island where we enjoyed some beautiful weather (luckily just missing the rain that had been caused during the development of Hurricane Noel). We spent two nights at Sonesta Great Bay, a property we'd visited before it became a Sonesta a year ago; in fact, we were on hand for the cutting of the one-year celebration cake.


The cake cutting was followed by a special anniversary party at poolside:


Sonesta Great Bay has a wonderful location on a big stretch of beach that extends all the way into Philipsburg; just a few minutes from Great Bay there's a boardwalk to make strolls (even those with strollers) into town easy. We spent a morning walking around Philipsburg then returned for a snorkel trip just minutes from the resort.

After two nights at Sonesta Great Bay, we moved to Sonesta Maho, located near the airport. We stayed on the eighth floor, one of the renovated floors at the resort; our room had teak furniture and a great view of the pool and the sea beyond.

We'll be bringing you a full review of all our stops in Sint Maarten...stay tuned!
