We had been to the Belair Beach Hotel 10 years ago on our first tip to St. Martin. I guess our recollection of what it was like was as dated as the hotel. Good things: - Beautiful beach - Excellent location, close to Phillipsburg, the airport, and the French side of the island - The hotel was clean - Good... More

We are constantly renovating, updating and improving our resort. The furniture and everything in the unit has definately been changed at least once, if not more, since you were here 10 years ago but we keep the Caribbean flavor in the furnishings and atmosphere so you might think that it is the same, but it is not. If this is... More

Friendly staff, great beach and the best bbq in St. Maarten on Monday nights. Hotel is not fancy but rooms are kept very clean. The housekeeping staff does a wonderful job keeping the rooms clean. Beach chairs are assigned at the beginning of your stay which is great. Large terraces which all face the ocean. It was a tough week... More

We had a 2 bedroom/2bath room at the Belair Beach Hotel April 20 - 27, 2013. The hotel check in was very quick & easy. The furniture is a bit outdated, but we expected that and it was fine with us. We were in Room 317 and had a gorgeous view of the ocean and were able to watch the... More

You had many good things to say about the hotel. The only negative was the beds which is each persons individual taste. The mattresses are only 3 years old. Yet you gave us a 3? The furniture is caribbean style in bamboo and easy, just like the resort. Sorry you didn't say something to us when you were here about... More

The Belair allows you to enjoy St Maarten the way it use to be. The only thing you overlook is the beautiful Caribbean Sea. Awake to the waves, watch as ships parade pass your terrace on the way to the harbor. The staff is friendly and really mean it when they say good morning. Your beach chair and umbrella awaits...

We are always hapy to see old faces back and we do get a lot of them. Our staff, the majority being here over 10 years seems to remember everyone's name and welcomes you to your home away from home. We go that extra mile when someone needs something. We look forward to seeing you in November. More

We would definitely come again. The best thing about this resort is the beach. It is beautiful, clear turquoise water, and soft sand. The water is gentle enough for swimming, but you can also body surf or boogie board (rent for $5/day or $25/week at the towel hut). When you arrive, go out to the towel hut and reserve your... More

The title says most of how I feel about the Belair, but not everything. Just got back from our third visit to St. Maarten and this was the second time that we stayed at the Belair. As most every reviewer stated it's not a luxury hotel, amenities some may desire are limited and it's generally a somewhat older crowd with... More

First I must say the beach itself is marvelous. Please read carefully and take into consideration before travelling so that you can be prepared. We travelled in Summer of 2011.
