The Westin St. Maarten, Dawn Beach Resort & Spa - Oyster Pond

This is my 3rd time staying at the Westin. I used to live on the island for school, so I got to know it pretty well. While its far away from Maho where are the clubs are at and also from Grand Case, where all the restaurants are, it's close enough to Orient Bay on the French side and Philipsburg on the Dutch. I love the Sunday brunch there! It's amazing! […] Bottomless mimosas, crab legs, oysters, and much more for $50. The pool is beautiful. They have this great, big jacuzzi in the back that you can dip into all night. The beach is beautiful, just windy and has a strong current that goes from right to left. All the way on the right side there's a nice reef right by the shore, so make sure to bring snorkel gear. It's nice because its so close to the shore and if you want, you can let the current take you the length of the beach and you don't have to work hard for it. The rooms are great, especially the ones with ocean view. For the first time I had one and I left the balcony door open and it gave us a relaxing sound all night. Casino is small but no aiming is allowed which is great. Has all the games you need accept roulette and baccarat. Service here is top notch. You really could stay the whole weekend here. I'd definitely come back if I'm ever at SXM again. อ่านเพิ่มเติม

The property is beautiful, in a very remote area. Meal costs seem high. $55 for a Sunday Brunch seems quite high, when normal breakfast buffet is only $7,00. Too pushy on the time share portion of the property.

We were very well looked after at the Westin .You have to be aware that the hotel is not in the midst of all the activities. It is a quiet, peaceful environment. If you want to rent a car or go on excursions , all the services are there. Also, you can walk to Oyster Pond and there are some eating areas there.Good place for a family, young children.

Our trip to St. Maarten was wonderful. We booked the Westin because it was recommended by friends who had been staying elsewhere but had come across it and visited. We took their advice and booked there, knowing that it was supposed to be a beautiful resort situated on one of the island's best beaches. To say the very least, we were not disappointed […] and were happily surprised at each turn. The staff, from cleaning to the hotel manager, were courteous, quick and efficient. The hotel was fairly quiet despite being full. There was never any need to rush to save a chair by the pool or on the beach - there were plenty available. The hotel was always clean and the grounds were kept in immaculate condition. The infinity edge pool was spectacular and spacious. The general feeling on the resort was one of luxury and indulgence. We absolutely loved every minute! อ่านเพิ่มเติม

The hotel and property are very nice and the hotel personnel are extremely friendly and accommodating. They will go out of their way to handle requests that you may make. The only negatives are that the hotel does not provide umbrellas in the pool and beach area and it does get very hot. Also, one cannot comfortably drive a car on that part of the island, […] especially at night; however, taxi fares are reasonable. We would definetely come back to the hotel and I highly recommend it. อ่านเพิ่มเติม

I enjoyed myself and liked the hospitality of the hotel

Typical Westin. Lovely but had a bit of business feel which - as a frequent business traveler - I prefer to avoid when on vacation. Prices in hotel and surrounding area are outrageous. They had no beach toys or beach activities. Chairs and towels were nice and available. Gym was very small and there were no other exercise options (no running or walking). If […] I return I would likely look elsewhere. อ่านเพิ่มเติม

Attitude of the wait staff in the restaurant was disappointing. Although this "don't care" attitude is typical of many of the islands, one would expect a friendlier attitude when staying at a hotel in this price range. Also, its surprising that this hotel allows smoking in the lobby casino.

Pleasant. Excellent pool, small beach. Very clean. Good but expensive restaurants. Overall quite happy.

Great getaway for our 20 th anniversary. The view at poolside is awsome.great beaches and friendly staff. To me, the hotel and rooms need a little upgrading. Cracks in the ceilings, old caulking in room and no detail to cleanliness.....max at the ocean restaurant helped me with a private beach dining table for latenight wine and deserts which was wonderful. […] Also visited Anguilla and St. Barth, beautiful as well. The dinghey dock bar was great and the westin hooked us up with a private driver, Van Mccoy to drive us around Anguilla. Van was wonderful. verall the stay was great. Lots of memories..... อ่านเพิ่มเติม

Great front desk staff. Poor restaurant staff, rude and slow or nice and slow. Nice big pool. Pretty beach. Really pretty bay. But the tides and currents made it my least favorite beach to visit. The room was ok. nice big bathroom. didn't provide shampoo or shower gel - probably just an oversight.

I went with our family for 8 days at Christmas. We loved the resort it was perfect for teens. All the younger kids around were also having a blast. The staff was so nice and help full. Dawn was an amazing concierge and every restaurant was great. Big Fish,Canoa,Yvettes all close by. On the French side it's very expensive but the Lolos are fun and the […] bakeries outstanding. The food was good at the hotel but gets old after a couple days. Stay away from the Buffet's the Christmas one was really expensive for the quality of food. We rented a boat for a day to go diving and fishing, then scuba diving another day and the butterfly farm. Most of the time we loved the pool and beach and girls day at the spa! We met other families from around the world as it attracts nice families but not the snobby type. Island people incredibly friendly and island just big enough to explore and very different in each area. Over past airport out toward the beach the sunsets and coast line were amazing. My family has traveled a lot and all of us thought this one vacation was one of the best for all my kids (14,17,19) ages. We were sad to leave! อ่านเพิ่มเติม

Hotel rooms needed to be renovated. Large stains on carpets and light fixtures and towel fixtures had rusted. The outside of the hotel and the restaurants all seemed very nice. They should have umbrella stands around the pool for shade as well.

Tlhe Westin Dawn Beach met our needs for a pre and post night stay for our cruise. Our guest room and bathroom were exceedingly spacious with lovely verandas with a partial ocean view. The pool area was lovely with ample seating for all guests and a large pool for swimming. The poolside restaurant provided excellent ambiance for breakfast, lunch and […] dinner. Overall, the staff was courteous and helpful. The location, however, is quite far from the airport and marina, requiring rather expensive taxi rides. There is not an opportunity to walk to shopping or other dining choices. Given that, it was a relaxing and pleasant property for our purposes. อ่านเพิ่มเติม

Stayed here two nights prior to leaving on a cruise. It was fantastic! Very comfortable bed, nice room w ocean view of St Barts, quiet neighborhood, hotel is not huge so everything was in close proximity (pool, restaurant, bar, casino). Hotel staff were accommodating and friendly. The only downside is it's a 20 minute drive from shopping, restaurants, […] etc. although found a great spot for dinner 5 minutes away at the marina. Overall great property and we would definitely return. อ่านเพิ่มเติม

Great staff, great location, nice rooms. Restaraunt was fine, but a bit overpriced. Since the hotel is oceanfront, some of the metalic fixtures in the room were oxidized. It didn't bother us.

Very nice hotel, with nice location, with a nice beach and perfect pool. Its away from cruise crowds. On the expensive side for food and kid club enrollment. Don't forget the dreaded resort fee on top of rate. The time share salespeople were a little annoying. The room was tight for family of 4 (2 small kids). But probably nicest place on island, and […] i would come back. อ่านเพิ่มเติม

The resort was nice. The food was below average and overpriced. The resort is really remote and not close to anything. So rent a car or you will have to pay a lot of money on cabs. If you want to be closer to everything I would not stay here. On average it can take you up to an hour to get from the airport to the resort. Oh and the air conditioning […] does not work that well in the rooms. อ่านเพิ่มเติม

I stayed at the Westin for a long weekend with a girl friend. Amazing resort with beautiful grounds, but there are a few things to be aware of. - There are no umbrellas/shade around the pool or at the beach. You must pay for a cabana. - The staff is friendly, but our keys didn't work the entire first day due to a technical issue. We saw this happen […] to 2 other guests as well. - The food is ok, but nothing amazing But aside those 3 things - I would still recommend the resort! The pool area is gorgeous and the overall environment is very relaxing. For any runners, I'd also recommend the 3K/5K running path recommended by the hotel that brings you to the French side of the island. Lot's of hills, but worth it - amazing views and felt very safe doing it. Will definitely return to St. Maarten soon! อ่านเพิ่มเติม

The hotel was extremely clean and the overall staff were as nice and pleasant as we had hoped for. one day we returned to our room and housekeeping was there, scrubbing and cleaning like crazy! We travel every year at this particular week( our honeymoon ) to a Westin when available, and hotel and amenities are not as crowded, so you almost have the […] run of the hotel! อ่านเพิ่มเติม

My husband and I visited St. Maarten/St. Martin to celebrate my birthday. We stayed at the Westin (Dawn Beach). I highly recommend this property. The staff was friendly (I see why they call it the friendly island) and very helpful. The room was very nice (and I'm a picky person). The hotel and hotel grounds were well kept/maintained. There were lots […] of amenities and we used them (the gym, the business center, the pool, restaurant, casino). We ate at the hotel restaurant and had room service several times. The service and food was good on both fronts. Of course, the hotel prices were higher, but then again you are on an island. The hotel is a bit out of the way and best if you want a more secluded stay. Overall, I'd stay there again in a heartbeat. อ่านเพิ่มเติม

What an amazing location. Swim directly off the beach to great snorkeling. Restaurant in the hotel has a great brunch and surrounding restaurants are just what you would expect during a island getaway. Fresh seafood right on the beach. Staff was over the top friendly. Easy access to many of the fine French restaurants/beaches. I would absolutely recommend […] this hotel! อ่านเพิ่มเติม

Amazing hotel. Gorgeous pool and beach. Wished we had stayed at the Westin longer. We split time between Grand Case and Westin. Once we arrived, we felt like we were in paradise. Casino was a lot of fun too. Timeshare folks were annoying.

I had a fabulous stay at the Westin in ST Maarten. It was a little difficult to find, but once I located the property I was in heaven! The Westin sits on a beautiful stretch of picturesque coastline, and you can sip a fresh drink from the infinity pool and see ST Barts. Absolutely incredible views! The pool was huge and very clean. My room had an ocean […] view and was five star all the way. Extremely clean and all the ammenites one expects at a incredible resort. The bed was as they say at the Westin, truly heavenly. In the morning I enjoyed a delicious buffet breakfast, complete with waffles, french toast and omelettes, as I looked out at the beautiful ocean. The staff was very friendly and professional. I will definitely be back. Loved this property! อ่านเพิ่มเติม

This is not a hotel for young people. Not at all. Its very far from all the activities. Recommended for people who just want a quiet peaceful time without activities. To go to Phillipsburg cost $15 either way and that where anything is happening. I would recommend for young people to go to a hotel near the airport. Because thats where more is happening, […] you have quick access to the boardwalk, a beautiful beach, bars/discos and numerous restaurants. อ่านเพิ่มเติม

I was extremely disappointed by my stay here and would urge people to look elsewhere. I was disappointed with hotel cleanliness, location and mostly service. The staff seems to be untrained and frankly don't care. I would urge anyone to stay elsewhere.

Overall stay ok - Bellhops great - food service workers need better attitudes - bartender needs to remember to actually put alcohol in drinks. Was told we were being upgraded to ocean front room when we actually got the ocean view room we paid for. Nice pool. Restaurants next door excellent - Big Fish, Canoa, Mr Busby's.

Great location and great pool. Housekeeping was poor. They never left enough towels, soap, or toiletries. They were also very late cleanling room everyday. Restaurant, front desk and casino staff were great though. Condo people were aggressive, but if you are firm with them and tell them no you are not interested they seem to back off. Location is secluded […] so definetly rent car. อ่านเพิ่มเติม

This hotel would be perfect has it not been for the fact that, we initially didnt get the rooms we booked (it took 24 hrs), our room was not cleaned after being out all day, we met one of the most discurteous bartenders ever, we ended up getting a bottle of wine every time there was a big issue (2 bottles of wine and a cheese plate). I like the physical […] hotel but they need better staff. Also the beach was very rocky and not suitable for bathing, adults or young children. อ่านเพิ่มเติม

The hotel is clean, the food is average but the service is just awful. Servers at the pool, bar, resturants and casino are not at all attentive. I dont think they have figured out yet that the more they take care of their guests, majority Americans from what I could tell, the more we tip!! Im glad to say I won enough money at their casino to pay for […] everything I did while at the hotel or Id be kind of upset. The pit boss even had the nerve to tell a person that was betting heavy at the table to walk to the bar instead of calling a server over. They just dont get it!!! Oh well, atleast the pool is nice, but dont expect any service at the swim up bar. That bartender acknowledged us and then proceeded to wait 15 minutes before coming over to us to take our orders. อ่านเพิ่มเติม
