Belair Beach Hotel

Long story short…we were credited for 2 nights and given a $50 GC to onsite restaurant. The beach is beautiful but the condo not so much. I usually don’t write reviews but had to in this case. We changed rooms 3x. 1st terrible musty smell and a/c didn’t work. Room 2 a/c didn’t work correctly, mold on bed skirt, black mold on dish rack. Room 3 a/c still didn’t work cycling every 15 minutes (making impossible to sleep) not going below 74 degrees. As far as decor, it has not been remodeled. Bathroom/kitchen basically the same as 15 years ago. Furniture is stained. Bedrooms very dark. The small bedroom has an oversized twin-size bed. We used it for our luggage. I guess good for small children but definitely not for 2 adults. One day housekeeping left the sliding door unlocked as we were in town. We were entitled to a continental breakfast which was limited and almost everyday they were out of something. But like I said the beach was beautiful!

Absolutely love the Belair! Although not a fancy hotel, the staff and the location are better than any fancy hotel. I have returned every year for over 20 years. I even bring other family members and friends. This year they helped my family celebrate two engagements and went above and beyond in how they handled them. Although the kitchen is small, Its ample and I am not looking to cook a gourmet meal. You are assigned your own beach chairs for the entire stay. So, no need to get up early and claim them for the day. Beach attendants are wonderful and work very hard. They have a amazing barbeque on Monday nights with entertainment. Gingerbread restaurant is on site and is very good. Happy hour every night with a wonderful staff including Bradley and Dwayne. Beach is usually very calm, and there is rarely sea**** on the sand unlike other beaches in Sint Maarten. There is a store onsite that carries just about anything you need. I utilize a service where they grocery shop for me ahead of time. So, the owner Neelu, communicates with me ahead of my arrival. She is amazing. My units are stocked when I arrive, beer, wine, snacks, whatever you want. That means you are on vacation from the time you check in. Just put your bathing suit on, poor a drink, and go to the beach. Car rental is also onsite, and they meet you at the airport when you land. This is a hidden gem.

This is a very nice resort. Nice staff, great on-site restaurant. Able to rent car from this location. Private beach with assigned chairs. Certainly, a family friendly resort. We enjoyed our stay. The on -site market is run by a very nice woman and they seem to have everything you need or forgot

1st time to this island. The hotel was very nice. Beds were hard to touch but great to sleep on. Only drawback was there a tiny ants(?) tho they give you bug spray. We were there on off season so activities were limited as was the cafe which stunk. The pool is great, the ocean wonderful and everyone there is so friendly. All in all it was good. But be prepared to take taxis everywhere.

As others note, the rooms are "dated" but you cannot beat the size, convenience, the staff and especially the view. If you're looking for a modern fancy resort, look elsewhere. Leave the beauty of Little Bay to those that appreciate the excellent staff, great food, and the best view on the island.

Belair has two bedroom condos that all have ocean views and is on a terrific beach. The rooms are outdated but clean. The restaurant is just OK but we ended up going next door to Divi to eat or drove to other places. This is a great place to stay if you want a great beach, nice staff, safety and ocean view rooms but don't care about extra luxury. Also snorkeling out to the underwater sculpture garden from the beach was a plus!

I've stayed here multiple times and although it is an older hotel, I enjoy the restaurant, beach and the mini mart. It is nice that you can order food and drink from the mini mart before you go and they will stock your room before you arrive. Also, it is conveniently located next to another hotel with restaurants, and another market store as well as some clothing stores. The HUGE disappointment was the WiFi and internet. It buffers most of the time and although smart TV's were purchased, the streaming speed isn't fast enough to use services such as Netflix. You can't stream them on your phone for the same reason. I have never been anywhere where is was that bad It was incredibly frustrating.

I stayed at this hotel courtesy of American Airlines, and I wished it had been the hotel that I had booked for my entire stay. The staff members were very helpful and welcoming. Also, the restaurant on site was very convenient and the food was delicious. My room was very spacious and comfortable. I did not even realize that the car I rented for my stay was through this hotel. I will definitely return to this hotel if I return to this island again.

The Ocean front view with the balcony on the second floor was my favorite part. The staff, security and services are top notch. The convenient location to walk the beach and Bay Area were key as well. I highly recommend the resort.
