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. )

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.

We had a wonderful stay at the Marriot from 7/23-7/27. The staff were extremely friendly and nice. The hotel is gorgeous. We loved our room. Our only complaint is that they need to move the breakfast. The lunch and dinner menu was very good. The dinner menu choice were excellent and the food was soooooo good. However, we was very disappointed with the breakfast.

From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and impeccable service. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and were incredibly efficient during check-in. My room was not only spotless but also beautifully designed, offering a serene space to unwind after a long day. The attention to detail was evident, from the high-quality linens to the thoughtfully curated amenities. What truly set this hotel apart was the exceptional level of care provided by the staff. Every request was met with enthusiasm and a willingness to go above and beyond. The concierge was a treasure. My stay at this hotel was nothing short of perfect. It's rare to find a place that so seamlessly combines luxury with genuine hospitality. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking an unforgettable experience. It’s not just a place to stay; it’s a destination in itself.

The positive aspects of the property included standard Marriott amenities and satisfactory room accommodations. However, the property's beach maintenance presented significant issues, with improperly cleaned seaweed resulting in an offensive odor. Furthermore, the limited restaurant availability, with only one establishment open during the week-long stay and a restricted menu, detracted from the overall guest experience. The booking information should accurately reflect the property's current state, aligning with the advertisement. Currently, only one restaurant is operational. Furthermore, the property's proximity to the beach results in an unpleasant odor due to accumulated seaweed. The location is remote, necessitating a 35-45 minute drive to access suitable beaches or dining establishments. Do your self a favor and don't book here, also staff are not rude but very unhappy or just force to work personalities. You will be very lucky if you get a good morning or a smile around here.

I want to first and foremost state that the staff from the front doorman, to the front desk, waitstaff for the restaurant and by the pool and finally the cleaning staff were absolutely amazing so welcoming, kind and always willing to help. Two of my biggest disappointments were first the sargassum which didn’t give us any opportunity to enjoy the beach at our hotel. I know this is not your fault and I do appreciate the email advising me that we would not be able to use the beach which gave me an opportunity to look for other locations to go. My biggest upset was only having one restaurant open at night for dinner with the same menu every night. I was not made aware of the other restaurant being closed until I went to the front desk on the night it was supposed to be open. I was extremely disappointed there were a few days were we did day trips and came back to the hotel late in the day tired and we had to eat at the same restaurant with the same menu every night. I just wish if you are going to keep one restaurant open at least rotate the menu. Everything at the hotel is basically the same thing in all locations, even though the food was amazing it just gets boring when you are there for 7 days. The last thing I would also recommend would be to maybe have an atm machine especially when you are on that side of the island it’s very hard to find a location to get money and it would be very convenient to have an atm located at the hotel.
