Two of the best-known options are Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino & Spa and Sonesta Ocean Point Resort, both located in the popular Maho area on the Dutch side of the island.
Sonesta Maho Beach is geared toward families, couples and groups, while Sonesta Ocean Point offers a more upscale adults-only experience. Both provide a convenient base for enjoying Maho Beach, nearby restaurants and St. Maarten's attractions.
