I really and truly enjoyed myself in St Maarten. I enjoyed myself so much I look forward to seeing this resort on the Getaways page on Groupon every time I open up the app. The resort isn't too far from the airport. The hotel staff, from the maids, to the security, to the men who work in the casino to the bingo person was amazing. Everyday I ate the jerk chicken wrap. LOVELY! Lovely! Lovely!

Tropical Beachfront Resort with All-Inclusive Dining and Casino Thrills

In the 17th century, the French, Dutch, and British all vied for control of tiny St. Maarten in hopes of getting their hands on the island's lucrative salt mines. Nowadays, the island's most enviable resource is not the Great Salt Pond, but the tropical shore across from it. Sonesta Great Bay Beach Resort & Casino straddles a land bridge between the two, linking it to both St. Maarten's storied past and the beachfront pleasures that typify the island today.

Situated on a deck dotted with ultramarine lounges, the resort's main pool area overlooks the sugar-sand shoreline. An infinity pool seems to meld with the Caribbean ocean stretching to the horizon, and a swim-up bar allows guests to sip chilled cocktails without ever getting out of the water. Nearby, the open-air Bay View Restaurant welcomes all-day diners in beach wraps, flip-flops, and starfish-encrusted wetsuits. As the waning sunlight paints the waves gold and bronze, visitors opt for more formal dining options such as Caribbean fare at the ocean-view Molasses Restaurant or Italian fare at La Cucina Eatery. At the onsite Golden Casino, 84 slot machines jingle as blackjack, roulette, and poker tables send adrenaline levels soaring.

When the party winds down, travelers retreat to ocean-view guest rooms whose modern teak furnishings and bright, turquoise accents create a cheerful, tropical ambiance. Drawing back a pair of coral-hued curtains reveals a private, glass-walled balcony overlooking the pools and seashore below.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten: Duty-Free Shopping and Relaxed Island Living

Although St. Maarten is divided between Dutch and French halves, relations between the two relaxed long ago, and travelers can wander across the small island at their leisure. The climate is near perfect, with year-round temperatures in the 70s and 80s. In fact, the winter months constitute the area's tranquil hurricane off-season.

A short distance from the resort lies Front Street, Philipsburg's main thoroughfare, where duty-free wine and fine jewelry sparkle from shops housed in West Indian and colonial structures. Nearby, the St. Maarten Museum chronicles the island's colonial past, including the harsh legacy of the slave trade. Simpson Bay, situated a 10-minute drive west, serves as a launch pad for sailing, fishing, and kraken-hunting tours. In the nearby Maho Beach area, nightclubs host steel-drum bands and oceanfront bonfire parties far into the night.
