Hotel was great, 30 years ago. Rooms are outdated. Hotel Staff was great, adjoining bar/resturant, some of staff was rude and didn’t seem like they were happy there. Location was great and surrounding atmosphere was good. I would stay there again if they would update it.

Hotel is old, but it makes up for it with a perfect beach, view and staff.
Everything works perfectly. It’s just dated.
Great size room. Great views. Beds are good.
Cleaning staff (3rd floor), gentleman at front desk and security guard (the one with 2 kids who left for Holland) are standouts within a great team.
Would recommend for anyone who’s not snobby.
Great staff except for the one beach lounger/towel attendant (not Ricardo he was good). The person left before 4 pm and gave us towels but asked us to sit on any empty loungers that were assigned to others. Then because he did not do his job properly we had the back row the next day as well as the front row was assigned before we came down. Other than this minor issue we had a great stay. Staff went above and beyond to keep our luggage after check out. Everyone smiling and helpful. Rooms are not updated but are clean and views are great with large balconies. Would recommend a vehicle in this location as restaurants are not close other than Gingerbread and the restaurants at Little Divi. No pizza restaurants would deliver except Dominoes. Short drive to Philipsburg. Great beach at this location!
Great beach, clean beach, Great view! Spacious condo with AC and good flowing water. Restaurant on site that serves all meals consistently. Very close to shopping in Phillsburg and the Bobby Marina for trips.
What stood out the most about this property was the staff. They were very accommodating and helpful throughout my entire stay. I would definitely come back to Belair Beach Hotel when visiting Sint Maarteen.
Check-in was easy, staff at the front desk were wonderful. And accommodating. The rooms were nice and location was spectacular right on the beach. Looks like all the rooms would’ve been very nice although I do recommend being on the ground floor if possible.
It was a great vacation, we stayed during holidays for a week. We were a big group of 21 people and we all enjoyed the stay, clean , friendly personal , right on the beach , mini market on the property was very convenient, we had fresh bakery almost every day. Will definitely come back.
This my 2nd visit to the property and it will be my next when visiting St Maarten. The staff is wonderful, I feel safe, the Gingerbread Cafe is excellent, everything about the resort is exceptional.
I absolutely loved the staff and the view. Bradley, Bri and Rodney were just some of the staff to make us feel like home at the holidays. I just arrived at the Palms Hilton, and wish we were back at Belaire Beach Hotel
