Simpson Bay is the hub of St Maarten's beach resort scene, with options ranging from the beachfront Cocovaa Beach Boutique Hotel to the expansive Simpson Bay Resort Marina & Spa. The Villas At Simpson Bay Resort & Marina stands out for its 6 pools and private beach, while La Vista Resort in Pelican Key offers a more laid-back stay with kitchenettes. Rooms here typically cost between $200 and $500 per night, and most resorts include free Wi-Fi, pools, and easy access to Maho Beach and Simpson Bay Beach.
For families, The Morgan Resort Spa & Village provides family rooms with sea views and an infinity pool. Couples might prefer the spa facilities and swim-up bars at Simpson Bay Resort Marina & Spa, or the boutique intimacy of Cocovaa Beach Boutique Hotel. When booking, check whether the rate includes breakfast or parking-some resorts charge extra. Also, consider proximity to Princess Juliana International Airport if you want to minimize transfer time.
