Having stayed at the Sonesta Maho twice before my expectations were a little high when entering the SGB. When you enter the Sonesta Maho you go WOW, when you enter Great Bay you kind of go, hmmm ok. That was my initial impression. The lobby could use some sprucing up, even if they re-upholstered the cushions on the center island... more

My husband and I just got back from 5 days at The Sonesta Great Bay Resort. We booked through Cheap Carribean (they are FAB) however the hotel needs some major TLC. We opted for the all inclusive for the first time ever. The food is ok - buffet for breakfast and two dinners is all we used and a few... more

The hotel does look like any of the pictures. The main dining room does not have A/C. It was too hot to eat there. The water at the beach is full of seaweed and the sand feels like you are walking on broken glass. There were no activities. Oh, very important. There is absolutely nothing to eat between meals. The... more

Service was more than expected with friendly welcoming staff. Good value for all-inclusive. Swim up bar and infinity pool are difficlult for anyone with mobility concerns to enter and leave on shaky, slippery poolside ladders. Only the upper pool has concrete steps with railing and a graduated, non-slip floor. Don't risk carrying a laptop - Internet cafe is only $12... more

We stayed at this resort for 7 nights all inclusive. We found it to be a good value for the price (we booked 4 days ahead of travel date for a great price with air inclusie). It is about a 10 minute walk to downtown Phillipsburg via the beach however on hot, sunny days the walk can feel blistering. Phillipsburg... more

My husband and I recently returned from a one week vacation from the Sonesta Great Bay. It was truly a great holiday followed by friendly staff and accommodations! Rooms: I would defiantly suggest booking an ocean front room, as it has a breath taking view to get up to each morning. The rooms were clean and a good size, the... more

I visited St Marteen with friends to celebrate my 50th Birthday. We stayed for 7 nights in the time share portion of the resort. The resort is rather old but the staff were very friendly. Although I did not spend much time at the resort I did spend some time at the swimming pools, walked along the beach and ate... more
