The Summit Resort Hotel in one of St Maarten Beaches
Though St. Maarten is small, there's still a lot to explore. To see it all, you will have to return. An option is to Buy Timeshare on the island. This is a way to stay in well equipped suites for less than hotel costs.
I recommend the following Resorts on St Maarten Beaches
The Summit Resort Hotel is the perfect place to escape from it all and embrace old world Caribbean charm. We are peacefully tucked away, high above Simpson Bay Lagoon and our panoramic view across the shimmering azure water is one of the best on the island. This breathtaking view is just one of the many elements that contribute to the Summits unique appeal.
