There is not a single ashtray to be found anywhere on the property. Not at the bar, not at the restaurants, not anywhere on the grounds, not in the rooms. Need an ashtray, go to the gift shop and buy one.

Stayed for a week with all inclusive. Restaurants aren't too bad, pure ocean is the best for dinner but very expensive without all inclusive to go every night ($100 per person). Some staff members were exceptional and added to the experience while others seemed grumpy and bothered to do their job - although they all did do their job mostly well. Beaches are beautiful and the resort has a lot of the equipment for checkout or rent to go out on the water.

This is a great resort. We went with a few other families and stayed at the Oceans side. The rooms were great with nice kitchens so we could keep some food on hand. The water and beach are perfection. We went at a busy time of year but there were still enough beach chairs at pools and beach. Fun live music many nights. Easy to rent a car and explore the island too. The mini mart on property is reasonably priced for a resort. St. Maarten is beautiful! Highly recommend

We recently stayed here and my family and I are still obsessing over our time on St Maarten. We loved everything about our stay-the room was great, the food was delicious, the entertainment was perfect-shout out to Tony! and the staff so friendly! We loved being greeted by Mimi each morning at PureOcean. The front desk helped rebook us a room after a canceled flight home. Definitely choose the AI plan! We cannot wait to be back!

Great time with my family. People were nice, property is clean and comfortable. Overall five stars. If I really really had to pick anything is the restaurant food variety. It all western style. Would be nice to experience some local culture. But as resort setup, it’s meeting my expectations.

This was my first time visiting this resort. The location is great. Short cab ride into downtown or you can walk to downtown. I did both. The walk took about 15 min (sidewalks the entier way) and I felt very safe making the walk (I did it during the day). I wouldn't recommend the walk at night due to traffic and narrow roads. The resort staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool area seemed to have plenty of room. Nice swim up bar area. I would stay here again.

We got a decision to visit The Friendly Island (Sint-Maarten or St-Martin, accordingly to Dutch or French sides!) in DEC 2023 to verify by ourselves are a high rates of a rest at this area correct or not. After a one week stay at Dutch side of this Island at Oceans at Divi Little Bay we'd like to confirm that it's a nice and a cozy place both for a silent rest or for an active one. We've chose the Oceans at Divi Little Bay Hotel after a couple weeks of a detail researches of a Hotel amenities, of a variety of a food, of a beach and sea cleanliness and tidiness. We also decided to rent a car to get a chance to issue some trips across this Island and check some other places except the Little Bay where we suggested to stay. Wouldn't like to waste your busy time and would only like to make a resume: Oceans at Divi Little Bay Hotel is a deliberated decision to have a good comfortable rest during a week or about, a great swimming in a clean sea with nothing huge waves, an enough good food and a cozy area to have an evening walk and also get a chance to visit both capitals of the Friendly Island by car. A weather at this side of the Island is a very windy one, one huge storm occurred during our stay but at another side a strong wind makes your stay a cooler one. We'd like to recommend this Hotel for a good stay and also can confirm that it was a good choice, we really had a good comfortable rest during a week, many thanks for Oceans at Divi Little Bay Hotel staff. Thank you!

Beach proximity but beach was not groomed. The amenities included in all inclusive were very limited and quality of food and drink was terrible. Very poor service. Staff was unable to provide basic amenities like plates and spoons. Linens were unavailable or unclean. Room was not available at check in and then room assigned was not clean. Hot tub was out of order. We paid far too much for a miserable experience. Lesson learned.
