Two Revamped Sonesta Resorts – St. Martin
Sonesta Maho Beach
After the devastating Hurricane Irma damaged much of the beautiful island of St. Martin, the Sonesta resorts took it upon themselves to redesign their property. They revamped an existing resort and created one entirely new one too while financially supporting and keeping as many of the original staff as they could during the rebuild. Now guests are welcomed to enjoy an entirely new experience, at the Sonesta Maho Beach Resort and Sonesta Ocean Point Resort. Families will enjoy the Maho Beach resort, with beautiful modern decor, and the Ocean Point is a resort-within-a-resort for adults only. Either way, you can expect a most stylish and sophisticated holiday retreat, with thoughtfully curated dining and personalized service.

The resort might best be suited for those ready to party, with a casino and themed nights aplenty, not to mention a swim-up bar and access to fun nightlife nearby. The resort is close to the entertainment district, a highlight of Aruba, and with the all-inclusive dining, guests will be sure to get their money’s worth.
