We spent two enjoyable weeks at the Maritim in August. We were on AI and found the staff always friendly and helpful. The hotel is laid out well and the grounds are beautifully kept.
The beach is good and although it is winter in August the temperature was about 23°C each day with a slight wind and most days were sunny. Turtle Bay shelters the beach from most of the waves and so usually the bay is calm. One part of the beach is for the sole use of people who have a suite. The hotel provides several activities free. It was a joy to be on the beach and not have to endure loud music being pumped out.
Most people eat in the main restaurant (the Belle Vue) which is a buffet service. There was a wide choice of foods available. There are other restaurants, a few of which offer a free limited choice menu with the option of paying for the a-la-carte menu. We enjoyed the Asian restaurant.

Our room was a nice size, the bathroom clean and the shower hot. Rooms had continental electrical sockets with one UK 13-amp outlet. A kettle and complimentary tea/coffee were provided. The minibar had some free and some pay-for drinks. A nice touch is that drinking water is provided daily in glass bottles to help save on plastic waste. The aircon and dehumidifier worked well.
It would be difficult for disabled people to stay at this hotel as there are quite a lot of stairs. There are no twin-bedded rooms.
The Wi-Fi worked everywhere – including the beach!
It was a pleasure to stay at the Maritim.

Want to start by saying....please do not listen to any negative reviews or let them put you off booking this all round amazing resort! This was our 2nd visit (1st visit 2013) and it was still as breathtaking as the 1st. Before we went the 2nd time I myself was apprehensive regarding some negative reviews and contacted the resort who were so helpful and reassuring. On arrival all my apprehension was immediately put to rest as it was just as amazing as I remember. All I can say is these people that leave bad reviews saying....rats running around, grounds very tired, rooms tired, staff slow and rude and complaints about the food must of stayed at a different hotel to me!!

The staff were amazing from start to finish in all areas and nothing was too much trouble, our room was clean, modern and spacious (3 adults sharing) with a separate walk in wardrobe, the grounds are kept so beautiful are to die for, the facilities are all you need and more especially the water sports like water skiing, glass bottom boats, snorkelling trips provided as part of your All Inclusive. The food was excellent in all restaurants (ok it gets a bit samie towards the end but that’s the same for all, All Inclusive resorts after a while in my opinion!) also there is some supplements on the menu if you choose but there was still plenty of choice if you don’t want to pay a supplement!

While we was there we had 2, 20th birthday celebrations and the staff on the beach restaurant, La Maree couldn’t of been more cheerful and helpful in wanting to make their day special for them by having sparking wine waiting at breakfast, and the table decorated with flowers and a cake at dinner.

Yes I agree that there needs to be more varied entertainment in the evenings, as it can get very quiet. Also scrap the supplements to make it easier all round and bring in line with other All Inclusive resorts.

I highly recommend The Maritim and will definitely be returning to paradise and checking out their refurbishment Thank you to the management and staff, keep up the amazing service!

The hotel is on a beautiful, huge site, with a lovely beach, very good snorkelling and a good range of water activities. The room we had was lovely, though there are strong rumours of a major refurb next year, so check that out if planning to book. The staff simply cannot do enough for you. Food in all the restaurants was very good, scrupulously clean and with a good variety. The only themed restaurant we didn’t like much was the posh Chateau Mon Desir, which we found lacking in atmosphere, VERY pricey and somewhat pretentious. Also, the Beach BBQ is not really on the beach! Excellent was Lakaz Kreol serving a set menu to only 10 guests seated at a round table. We are British and dined with 8 lovely Germans who made it a memorable evening. All restaurants must be booked except the Belle Vue, which is the main eating place.
One warning about the Maritim. There are degrees of guest – B&B, All Incl and Premium. If you can possibly stretch to it, go for Premium as there are so many things not available to other guests, that the Hotel’s credentials as All Inclusive are questionable.
We were there for a special occasion and absolutely loved it.
