Simpson Bay Resort & Marina was impacted by Hurricane Irma **in September 2017. The hotel is currently closed for repairs and hopes to reopen in Spring 2018. We will update our review as soon as we have more information. **This upper-middle-range resort in popular and beautiful Simpson Bay on the Dutch side is one of the best values on the island. It's enormous, especially for St. Maarten, with 342 rooms, six pools, four restaurants, and a long beach. The rooms are stylish and modern and have full kitchens, king beds, flat-screen TVs, and memory foam mattresses. Although the resort is huge, it doesn’t have a big-box, cheesy feel. There are a few small annoyances, including a fee to use the fitness center, a long check-in time, and lukewarm showers at certain times of the day. Those willing to trade in-room kitchens for the option of an all-inclusive package should consider the Divi Little Bay Beach Resort.

Simpson Bay Suites was impacted by Hurricane Irma in September 2017. The hotel is currently closed for repairs and hopes to reopen in spring 2018. We will update our review as soon as we have more information. This 18-unit condo hotel in Simpson Bay offers some of St. Maarten's most affordable and spacious rooms. And on that strength alone it's a great choice for families who want plenty of space to stretch out and a full kitchen for homemade meals. Still, this place is cheap for a reason: minimal service, no pool, no restaurant, no fitness center, and no beach access. For a beachfront and more amenities at comparable prices, head to Mary's Boon Beach Resort.

The Atrium Beach Resort & Spa did not sustain significant damage during Hurricane Irma **in September 2017 and has reopened to guests. Travelers should note that St. Martin/St. Maarten was **significantly impacted by the storm. For a medium-sized hotel, this 87-room beachfront property has a lot to offer: a beautiful beachfront with water sports and beach bars, a small pool, a lovely spa and salon, and a fitness center. Updated rooms are bright and colorful, and all have balconies and full kitchens. There is no on-site restaurant (though several are mere steps away) and the pool is tiny, but for a hotel with this many features, the rates are excellent.

Mary's Boon Beach Resort has reopened following the impact of Hurricane Irma **in September 2017, and is working to reinstate all features. Travelers should note that island was *significantly impacted by the storm*. **The 36-room Mary’s Boon Beach Resort is a homey, casual spot that overlooks Simpson Bay. Rooms at the two-and-a-half-pearl hotel range from small and dark to spacious and bright, with up to two bedrooms. All come with air-conditioning and kitchens or kitchenettes, though it's worth noting that some TVs are still tube-style units and Wi-Fi can be spotty. The restaurant serves casual grill fare overlooking the Caribbean, and there’s a tiny pool as well. A small spa offers massages, manicures, and facials, and there's live music in the bar in high season. Unfortunately, the hotel's location right next to the Princess Juliana Airport means planes can be heard during the day. Looking for more quiet? Flamingo Beach Resort offers more amenities and tranquility, though prices are generally higher.

The Villas at Simpson Bay Resort & Marina was impacted by Hurricane Irma in September 2017 and hopes to reopen to members in March 2018. We will update our review as soon as we have more information. The Villas at Simpson Bay Resort & Marina, located in popular and beautiful Simpson Bay on the south (Dutch) side of the island, has access to adjacent sister property Simpson Bay Resort’s many amenities. The 83 Two-Bedroom Villas (each can be split up into a One-Bedroom Suite and Junior Suite) are housed in a large and commanding oceanside building on the resort’s property; each villa has a scenic balcony or patio with ocean views and most units have a full kitchen. There are a few small annoyances, like a fee to use the fitness center and a long check-in time, and it's worth noting that the more stylish renovated rooms at the main resort also have full kitchens -- the ones here, however, typically have better ocean views.

The Azure Hotel has reopened to guests following the impact of Hurricane Irma in September 2017. Travelers should note that St. Martin/St. Maarten wassignificantly impacted by the storm. Located on Simpson Bay in a residential neighborhood just south of the airport, the Azure Hotel is a small, intimate property with only eight rooms and plenty of natural beauty. The property is located directly on beautiful and scenic Simpson Bay with white sand and turquoise water. The small size of the property means that the beach is quiet and never crowded. The friendly owners live on-site, are always accessible, and provide guests with plenty of advice about the area. The buildings are on the older side and the rooms are fairly basic but well-maintained. The very reasonable rates, beachfront location, and personalized service make Azure Hotel an excellent value. However, there's no pool here -- those seeking a bigger property with more features may prefer the similarly priced Mary's Boon Beach Resort or Simpson Bay Resort & Marina.
