Divi Little Bay Beach Resort St. Maarten

You are either facing Great Bay looking at the beautiful Philipsburg skyline. First resort that actually has a better view than my backyard. If not that view, then you have oceanfront. I just haven't figured out how to have both at the same time. Great staff, always ready to help and shuttle you around. If you dive or snorkel then the sunken helicopter and submarine are just a short swim away. The all inclusive part is so so, but with so many places to go, who doesn't want to take the whole island in. They just have so much to offer, we plan on going to one of their caribean resorts every year.

We have owned a time share here for nearly 30 years and while the resort has improved its amenities over the years its service to owners continues to decline. They are now more interested in the renters they can find on Expedia etc. than those who pay maintenance fees every year. Especially they are happy to those who go for the all inclusive and be warned the restaurants are not great. Our unit this year was a disaster and all they could say was sorry. Missing dishes, no working TV and only one AC was working. Went to get beach towel at 9:30 am and there were none. Sorry! Talked to many other owners today and they all have problems with Divi. Beach is fantastic and staff friendly just don’t buy a unit here. I hate to rate this review but I am super frustrated with Divi little Bay. Had much better service when we traded and went to Divi’s resorts in Aruba. A night and day experience.

Our stay at Little Divi was amazing! We had a two bedroom lockout. That meant two bedrooms that each had their own patio, king sized bed, couch that pulls out to bed, and full bathrooms with whirlpool tub and separate showers. Then there was a middle room with a living room/ kitchen that had a full kitchen, couch with pull out bed, a third patio, and a laundry room with another full bathroom. Our family of 6 and my parents all stayed there for a week and had a fantastic experience! We usually ate out one meal per day and ate the rest from our own kitchen. I had brought bacon and some cooked, frozen meat which saved us SO much money. Then we went to the grocery store for the rest or the market on the grounds! We went on a tour by Alexandre. He is an employee of the resort, but on off days does tours around the island. I can not recommend this enough! He will cater it to what you want to see/ do and it was the highlight of our trip. I would suggest contacting him via email before traveling. It would be perfect to set it up for the first few days of your stay so you then know what you want to go back and spend more time doing! He also offers airport shuttling when it works in his work schedule - an incredible value! See picture for his business card!

The resort is on a peninsula between Little and Great Bay and a short walk to Philipsburg. A great ocean view from just about every room. Great and friendly staff and service. A choice of 4 restaurants from very casual to fancy. The room had no dish towel or paper towel, but that was a minor issue. We only basically showered and slept in the room. The resort was too nice to stay in the room.

Visited the resort today for my birthday and a delicious lunch. The staff was very helpful and our two bartenders Lewinskyn and Stefan, were excellent, attentive and prompt in their service. Our observations were that the resort was clean, well maintained and the beach was beautiful and well kept. The General Manager, Anne Marie Brooks, was readily available and was extremely pleasant in answering any questions we may have had. The resort has made huge strides in customer service, attention to detail, and making their guests a priority, be it for a day or a month.
