"Hi"

"The resort itself was amazing. I based my booking on reviews and they were quite accurate. Highlights: the beach is gorgeous, clear and clean, room and overall resort cleanliness, the pools are open 24/7, rooftop resto food on weekends. Not so highs: We chose not to do the all inclusive and I found we were taken advantage of. Check your bills. They charge you 15% gratuity on every single bill so you do NOT need to tip. I had to argue with a waiter for being over-charged during happy hour, to which I was told the ‘virgin drinks’ were not included in happy hour yet bartender charged 3x 8usd smoothies instead of 2.25usd virgin drinks. I then escalated to management where I was told the charge would be taken care of and it never was, so on my final night there I had to spend time requesting the to remove the over-charge again and I’m not even sure after receiving my credit card statement that it ever was (although the itemized copy I signed showed it had been removed). To be clear my final bill was 800usd so a 35usd charge isn’t a big deal but it’s just annoying to have to deal with this on vacation -signage hours are outdated -Some staff are very rude, others extremely sweet (hit or miss). -If you’re renting a car on site, note they will tell you that you can’t reserve ahead of time, you need to come morningof to see and they are always late which can be frustrating but you can go online and reserve ahead of time (the website is on the sign of the little car rental hut).

"Our condo was ready even though we were early arrivals. The bellman transported us and our gear to the condo, he verified that all keys worked properly before leaving. The housekeeping manager was just finishing her inspection when we arrived. The unit was clean, supplies plentiful, and everything worked as it should. Bonus, there was an ice maker in the fridge with the bin half full of cubes already. All staff on site were pleasant, polite and helpful during our stay. We will definitely be back, and promote it with family and friends "

"The location was favorable, offering immediate proximity to the waterfront and convenient pedestrian access to several retail establishments. However, the assigned room did not meet my expectations, as it provided a street view rather than the anticipated ocean view. Upon arrival, the room presented a minor odor, which was subsequently addressed and resolved within two days. Overall, the experience was satisfactory."

"I would stay again. Could use a few updates but for my purpose it was great"

"The Belair Beach hotel was a nice accommodation for our 4 night stay. The beach on the property is beautiful and always had chairs available. It is an older hotel so no bells and whistles, but the staff were all very friendly, the bar/restaurant was very good and has happy hour deals daily! The rooms are clean and spacious. The building itself could use updating for curb appeal but we still loved it and would consider staying here again."

"I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The property was clean and well maintained, and my room had a beautiful view overlooking the harbor. The room itself was spacious, and I especially loved the large porch where I could relax and enjoy the scenery. Overall, it was a comfortable and pleasant experience, and I would definitely stay there again."

"Lovely hotel , short drive to airport, walk to beach. The pool is amazing! As is the staff. "

"I had a wonderful stay at Panorama Residences in St. Maarten! The property itself is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views that truly elevate the entire experience. The space was clean, comfortable, and felt like the perfect blend of relaxation and luxury—exactly what I was looking for during my trip. A special thank you to Nickey, the host, who was incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful throughout my stay. Communication was smooth from start to finish, and any questions or needs I had were handled quickly and professionally, which made everything stress-free. The location was also a huge plus—conveniently situated on a private hill, however, with still access to nearby beaches, restaurants, and activities while still offering a peaceful and private atmosphere. Overall, I highly recommend Panorama Residences to anyone visiting St. Maarten. I would absolutely stay here again!"
