My husband and I stayed at the Westin Dawn Beach Resort & Spa, St. Maarten for the week of our anniversary. We did not rent a car (you can if you like, but DRIVE AT YOUR OWN RISK because of the very moutainous terrain) so we took a readily available taxi from the airport to the hotel. It was about... more

There are some very good things about this hotel, but some not-so-great things too. The rooms are big and relatively clean. The bathroom is big and clean, but rather moldy in the shower area. The pool (which was freezing!!) area is beautiful if you don't look too closely. The lower pool gets rather dirty as things blow or fall into... more

Very spacious room...huge bathroom with seperate tub and shower, pillowtop bed with high thread count linens, flat screen t.v., small fridge, balcony. Extremely clean and roomy. Wi-fi for a charge. No on demand movies. Nightly towel changes and chocolates. Nice Restaurants...not a whole lot to choose from, but decent food. The pool bar/restaurant was good. Service was excellent, especially from... more

Most of the positive reviews here are right on. Hotel was more impressive than I expected, great snorkeling right off beach. Very good food, but not a ton of choices. Like most reviews say the music around the pool just doesn't feel right; should be reggae or the like, but it's beach boys, Jimmy buffet, very vanilla that adds nothing... more

We trust the Westin brand and found the usual amenities at this property - Heavenly bed, Service Express, etc. The pool and beach at this hotel are lovely. The pool has 2 areas that are 6 inches deep for babies, perfect for our little one. Wish there were more umbrellas for shade around the pool though. They have freshwater showers... more

Returned from a trip to Westin Dawn Beach yesterday. We stayed 6 nights at the Westin but spent most of the time touring the island's french side and visiting the islands in near proximity - St Barths and Anguilla for the better beaches and restaurants. The hotel was clean albeit sterile. The casino was a bit of an eye sore... more

The Westin Dawn Beach is the premier property to stay at on the island. While we were there, Kristin Cavalerri, from the MTV show, The Hills and Laguna Beach, stayed there. Quality was similar to other SPG properties that we have stayed at. Our bathroom could have been cleaner (if I don't smell bleach, it's just not sanitary). Beach and... more

My boyfriend and I vacationed in St. Maarten from May 26th-31st. We stayed at the Westin Dawn Beach. If you want a nice, relaxing vacation, I would highly recommend St. Maarten. I will try to make this summary as brief as possible. Arrival to St. Martin - Very smooth. Customs clearance was quick and efficient. We rented a car from... more

My husband is allergic to all nuts, all seafood and many fruits. It always makes us nervous when traveling but this hotel calmed all of our fears. We were there for a business trip and before each dinner the head chef, John Baker went through the tables with me and pointed everything out that my husband should avoid. He didn't... more
