Hotels Near Strand am Flughafen in Simpson Bay

There were 11 of us who stayed here. Can't say enough about the staff and facilities. Everyone was friendly and willing to help or lend a hand. Facilities were clean, plenty of food to choose from also. My only complaint is we would have liked to have another choice for breakfast instead of the buffet. Waiters and waitresses were quick and efficient in the Buffet. Absolutely one of the BEST family vacations ever-6 adults 4 children ages ranging from 10-13. Lasagna at the Italian restaurant was the best I've ever had. Sushi was also wonderful. I'd go back in a hot second.

Very disappointed in the amount of chairs and umbrellas on their very little beach

I stayed with friends at this resort for a few days during my visit to St. Maarten. The resort is beach front however, it felt man made. The sand was very much like quick sand if you stood in one spot too long. There was also a pool which was very nice and there often activities in the pool area. The rooms were nicely furnished but after speaking with others staying on site there were many rooms that had an issue with odor. My friends room had a strong odor and it took several complaints before someone actually came and addressed the issue. The staff that responded explained there was a ventilation issue causing the odor issue but to me it smelled like mildew. Despite the delay in a response to the smell complaint the staff members were always pleasant. Also, please note that if you chose this resort you should expect to be approached about attending a time share presentation. If you agree to attend beware of - Diane. She claimed to be a trainer in the time share presentation department - avoid her! She asked inappropriate questions throughout her so called presentation. Every time she asked where I had traveled in past and I told her she seemed jealous. She never actually showed me the property she wanted to buy into but was offended and interrogated me about why I didn't agree to purchase. She said “it’s Hilton”. When I told her again I wasn’t interested and explained that Hilton resorts outside the US don’t all live up to the Hilton name she became angry. I couldn’t believe she was a trainer because she was very unprofessional. She also insisted on signing me up for a Hilton AmEX card which I thought was so inappropriate. At one point I thought she might be intoxicated because she spoke in run on sentences and much of what she said was rambling and incoherent. Had I wanted to purchase, I definitely would NOT have done so with deranged Diane.

The staff was warm and friendly.A special shout out to Kelma at the front who made sure we were checked in quickly and made our stay enjoyable and comfortable, very warm and friendly. The rooms were extremely clean and well equipped. Beach is on the property. Food and grocery also. Loved it

The only thing that kept me from giving a stellar review for unit B262 at this resort is the fact that not one, but every single day, the workers parked their mop buckets and their utility carts with cleaning supplies on it on our patio, which blocked the view all the way to the beach and hindered us from using our patio table and lounge chair, one day, I spoke on it, and one of the carts was moved slightly down to open the view more but the next day they were right back in the original spots not sure why the locations couldn’t have been shared with all of the units. I must add on a positive note that the accommodations were great and the staff was awesome.

Our last stay at Baker’s Suites was in 2018. This year we stayed in a Hibiscus Suite for 1 night before a cruise. Hotel is close to the airport ($18 by taxi) and within walking distance of restaurants and food markets. All hotel staff members were friendly and helpful. Room was tastefully decorated, clean, and comfortable with a good bed and pillows. Excellent AC. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Good high speed wifi. Kitchenette was well equipped with refrigerator, cook top, coffee maker, dishes, and utensils. Beach towels were provided in the room. Continental breakfast is no longer provided. Elevator available for access to higher floors, but one might still need to negotiate some steps for room access. Location is just across the street from Kim Sha beach, where sun chair and umbrella rentals are available. Hotel is located on a busy street, so earplugs might be necessary for sleeping. Baker’s Suites was perfect for our short visit, and we would stay there again.

This hotel is actually local, an old resort, close to the prince **. The facilities are very shabby from the outside, but they have been renovated from the inside, in line with the latest aesthetic style. I give full marks for this interior. The environment is very good. There is a large area around the resort, with complete facilities, and various restaurants and bars. The pier fitness ** is all in the resort.

It was great fast check in bell boy was great and the room was just right

A new apartment with beautiful views over the lake and the cruise ships in the distance. Friendly and helpful staff. Everything looks neat and well cared for. You have to climb 3 flights of stairs to get to the floor. We got help from the staff with our suitcases.
