JW Marriott St. Maarten Beach Resort & Spa

There was a swim up bar and food service available at the pool. The staff were friendly and very attentive. The overall experience was excellent.

Staff were excellent.

September 2025. The accommodation was clean, with comfortable beds and a well-maintained bathroom. The staff at the JW Marriott St. Maarten Beach Resort & Spa provided exemplary service. The resort offered a luxurious atmosphere, with notable features including the fitness centers, spa and more... The only minor issue encountered was the lack of clear communication regarding the closure of some on-site restaurants during check-in and Beach Seaweed. Overall, a stay at the JW Marriott Resort & Spa in St. Maarten delivers a premium and comfortable experience, particularly for guests seeking upscale amenities and high-quality service. I highly recommended JW Marriott St Maarten Beach Resort & Spa. I would like to thank Marla Joseph-A (Concierge Manager), Arnaldo Phelipa (Front Office Manager) and Tiana for all your help.

Very quiet spa hotel. Good for relaxing I suppose but not much else. Not much going on on the hotel grounds. The beach is subpar. The on-site restaurants are decent (there are only a few - 1 open full time, 2 bars, and 1 open only part time) but not great. I wasn’t impressed with the food. The service was great, though. My biggest gripe was the fact that the local birds are allowed to hop all over the outdoor tables (on the silverware!!) which is so unsanitary! The on-site store is also quite bare. You can’t even buy a beach towel. Lastly, the power went out for 30 minutes on our last night there. It was not acknowledged, nor was compensation offered, until we asked and pushed for it. Overall, 3/5 stars, I most likely won’t be coming back to this hotel, although I will certainly be back to the island, as St Maarten is BEAUTIFUL and I enjoyed my time. (The Marriott location in St Kitts is a MUCH better experience. I also liked the Negril location in Jamaica. )

Beautiful place

I had a great experience but didn’t like that the other restaurant was t open because it wasn’t peak season. Also, don’t like the fact that there is no microwave.

This is a beautiful property on a quiet part of the Island. The resort pool is world class. The hotel is modern and well cared for. The staff is top notch. We’ve stayed here twice and will again.

Spent 4 nights at the resort, which was a perfect length of time. Staff were very polite, friendly and accommodating. Pool area is very nice and relaxing. Food options were good. Overall a very pleasant experience.

The JW Marriott is nice, the rooms were clean and the customer service was great. It is on the east side of the Dutch island (~30 min ride), so it’s best to rent a car to get around (they have free self parking in a covered garage). I got a free upgrade to my room and had an early check in. The dining options are limited, so be prepared to venture outside. My only drawback was reception calling me the night before checkout w/ a fake survey to ask what time I’d be checking out the following day. I thought that was tacky to ask considering checkout is at 12. She proceeded to clean it up and say that they’d be happy to extend my stay.

Horrible female manager
