Stayed here for 1 week in Feb 2009 on an Ottawa (all nice Canadians) all inclusive package. We are Europeans. We do not drink so cant comment on drink policy. WE HAD A GREAT TIME.This is absolutely not a large all inclusive type resort (like in Cuba/DR) so do not ever come here for that. A nice small beach but... More

Avoid this horrible, poorly maintained, dirtbag, bug ridden unsafe dive of a hotel! We found bare bulbs hanging, pools of standing water, broken locks, bugs, filthy curtains, arrogant staff, no beach access, rotten fruit with flies at breakfast quite unendurable - in the end after the drunk maintenance man crow-barred the bathroom door open after the shower exploded and after...

very old hotel that needs refurbishment. The smell in the room was awful, lights weren't working, TV had only 3 channels and bad reception. Breakfast was mediocre. Staff is arrogant. Only good thing about the hotel is its location and view from the beach. Will never ever go back, even if you paid me. More

Beautiful carribean style hotel with beautiful grounds on the bay. I felt the vibe of the island and very relaxing and enjoyable experience. More

The bathroom was dirty, our toilet was broken, no toiletries for the shower, we had no control of our A/C, the bed was VERY hard (even for the island), pillows were as thin as... More

Stayed here after a cancelled flight by usairways and it was just plain awful. The grounds are decent and room looked ok at first; however beds were like sleeping on a rock and the street noise is unbearable. Food was disgusting, couldn't even eat it and it was free. I am hoping that this was just because they got a... More

Thinking that St. Maarten was one of the best islands to visit, I was very disappointed. The Mercure Simson is the worst hotel I've ever been to. Ok, so we decided to get some dinner. That was not a good idea! The dinner rolls were hard as rock, I basically needed a hammer and chisel to break it apart. Whatever... More
