Simpson Bay Resort, Marina & Spa

Simpson Bay Resort, Marina & Spa is a large Pelican Key address set around Simpson Bay on the Dutch side of the island. It works best for travelers who want a lively, easy base with beach access, marina services, restaurants, bars, watersports and quick access to Princess Juliana Airport.

Accommodation is well suited to independent stays: studios, spacious suites and villas with balcony or terrace depending on category, often with kitchenette or full kitchen. That setup is useful for families, groups and longer stays when you want to mix restaurants, simple in-room meals and island day trips.

On property, the resort focuses on services: direct access to Simpson Bay Beach, several pools, marina, watersports with Aqua Mania, spa, fitness, parking, Wi-Fi and multiple dining options. La Patrona, Bovin Steak House, Juliette's Bistro, Replay Sports Pub, Cafe Britt and Coco Beach Bar cover dinner, casual meals, coffee and drinks by the bay.

The area is one of Sint Maarten's most practical bases if you want to go out without driving much: restaurants, bars, casinos, supermarkets and boat-trip departures are close by. Maho Beach, Mullet Bay and the airport are also easy to reach, while Grand Case, Orient Bay and Terres Basses are better with a car.

Good to know: Simpson Bay Resort is a large property, more active and less intimate than a Grand Case or Orient Bay boutique hotel. Choose it for convenience, pools, marina access and nightlife, not for a secluded retreat.
