Sonesta Maho Beach Resort & Casino is an upper-middle-range hotel located in St. Maarten’s Maho Village. With 395 guest rooms, it’s the biggest all-inclusive property on the island and features the extensive array of dining and activity options travelers would expect from a resort this size. The resort offers easy access to the island’s largest casino and one of its trendiest night clubs, along with a touristy beach where visitors often clamor to get a glimpse of jumbo jets landing at the nearby airport. This resort is big on entertainment, but offers little in the way of local charm. Guests looking for a tranquil vacation might consider the more secluded Westin Dawn Beach Resort & Spa instead.

The hotel’s main pool, Oasis, includes a few arched bridges and an attractive waterfall feature. The pool has a swim-up bar with submerged in-pool seating, in addition to a dry seating area on the deck.
