Bel Air Beach Hotel, Sint Maarten

Looking or a nice hotel on Sint Maarten? I recommend the Bel Air Beach Hotel. We stayed at an appartement at this hotel near capital city Philipsburg and loved how we could walk straight onto the beach. On this page I’m telling you all about the Bel Air Beach Hotel Sint Maarten.

Sint Maarten

Sint Maarten is one of the Dutch Caribbean islands. Located East of Puerto Rico and the Dominican republic. It’s a dreamy island with white sandy beaches and crystal clear blue water. The island has a Dutch side (Sint Maarten) and a French side (Saint Martin).
The Bel Air Beach Hotel is located on the Dutch side. You can find them right West of the capital city Philipsburg and just a 15 minute drive from Juliana International Airport.

Bel Air Beach Hotel

The Bel Air Beach Hotel is a combination of a hotel with rooms and appartements that you can book and a time share that is mostly popular with visitors from the United States. If you’re looking for a hotel on Sint Maarten, I absolutely recommend Bel Air Beach Hotel. We enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Bel Air appartments

Our appartement was super spacious. We had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, a small kitchen and a dining area. And the best thing: our own terrace from which you can walk straight onto the beach.
We had a lounge chair and a garden table with chairs on our terrace. From there you could take the small stairs down to the beach where we had our own sun-beds and umbrella. Beach towels are provided for free.
Bed linen and towels were also included. The room had super fast wifi, a safe for valuables and a tv in the bedroom and the living room. The appartement was cleaned every day.
The kitchen had everything you need to prepare your own meals if desired; a big fridge and freezer, an oven, microwave, stove, coffee maker and all the tableware and utensils that you might need.

Pool and other services

The Bel Air Beach Hotel Sint Maarten has a pool that you can enjoy if you don’t want to swim in the sea. There’s a nice cafe called the Gingerbread Cafe right next to the pool. The cafe is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sometimes they organise nice events like a barbecue.
The hotel also has a mini-market for some daily groceries like bread and toppings. But they also have drinks and snacks, souvenirs and (also very handy) sunblock.
There’s also a car rental company and a desk where you can book excursions and other activities.

Beach

It was so lovely to wake up in the morning, open the curtains and see the sunny palm tree lined beach. Also after a day of exploring the island it was great to come ‘home’ to our appartement, grab a cold beer out of the fridge and some crisps and to watch the sun set from our terrace.
The water is warm and clear, so bring your snorkel set and take a dip!
