Top Downtown Philipsburg Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Maho Beach All Inclusive Resort Casino & Spa

8/10 Good

"Affordable , clean, good amenities"

Oyster Bay Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"the property is secluded, very clean and the staff so helpful and kind. Very beautiful people all around. The hotel room very clean, it was not what I was expecting as far as a hotel room, it was an apartment. Bathroom with double sink, so you have space for that significant other. A nice king size bed waking up to a view, a wrap around balcony from the bedroom to the living room. Kitchen and dinning room to to fill all your personal needs. A home away from home, you feel you belong here, you even have a dishwasher and laundry machine. What else do you need? The grounds have a beautiful infinity pool, laundry mat, gift shop, a market store on the property, spa and gym. Two great restaurants. The only down part was the beach with the frequent storms have been washing up some seaweed waste covering the beach but its just a phase mother nature. There is so many places to go and do. Or you can stay at the resort and be pampered. The staff really go out of their way to take care of their guests. I will miss my favorite Bartender Jeffery and his colorful tasty cocktails. Thank you."
