Sonesta Maho Beach Resort - ST. Maarten

[myk249]

Hello Fellow Cruisers,

 

Did a search and could not find anything on this resort/excursion.  They have a day pass for $89pp.

 

We are considering it for our April cruise on Harmony.

 

Anyone done it?  Any feedback is appreciated.

I am following this post for reviews also.  We will be there in July.  Looking for an All Inclusive Beach Day.

I would love to hear a review of recent visits here.  We have booked a day pass for July 4th.  The resort reviews have been mixed since they reopened.

Can you update us on your experience? I am considering booking this for our cruise coming up in 2 weeks. My son is going to be about an inch to short for the water slides on our cruise ship. Was hoping that the slides at their pools my make up for that. We are planning to go to Maho Beach regardless. Just trying to decide if it is worth doing this resort for a day or if we should just hang out on the beach (would also go to Mullet Bay Beach as well).

We enjoyed the resort.... Very nice, friendly people and a beautiful pool with swim up bar. Resort has several restaurants and you could order lunch from a limited menu. This is an all inclusive resort so you fit right in along with the vacationers staying there. 2 slides... One straight into pool and other is a circling slide into pool. Says slides are for 10-15 yr Olds but there is no lifeguard and no enforcement. My 9 yr old Grandson is small as well and had no problems... We also saw younger children going down slide. Short walk to beach and great view of planes landing. We had a relaxing day and would do again. About a 25-30 min cab ride from pier... Cost us $30 with tip

Thanks so much for the feedback! Sounds like something that would be worthwhile for us to do.

Is the beach a good sand beach or is it rocky?
