Just returned from a four night stay in the beautiful Westin Hotel on Dawn Beach in St. Maarten. Having travelled quite extensively in the Caribbean, as well as Europe, my husband and myself were extremely impressed with this classy hotel, and its efficient and friendly staff. Although one of the main restaurants was closed on account of it being the... more

We just returned from an 8 day stay at the Westin and it was a fabulous week for my husband and me. We had an ocean-front room, which is a must there, as the sound of the waves was almost as wonderful as the view of the ocean. We rented a car at ACE (no frills, but air and unlimited... more

This was our fifth trip to St. Maarten, but we had not been to the island in about 5 years, and I was very concerned after reading reviews discussing the balloning crime rate. We never felt unsafe, however and had a wonderful time at the Westin. I traveled with my husband and 13 year old daughter, and we were upgraded... more

My husband and I just spent a week at the Westin, Dawn Beach and after reading some of the reviews I was nervous but, let me tell you we had an incredible time and are already re-booked to go back. There are so many positives let me try to summarize. The reception we received when checking in was superb. Our... more

Booked a last minute trip, stayed the week of August 25. I chose the Westin because I was traveling by myself (single female) and wanted to stay at a well known property. Extremely small beach, nice pool, great room rate, but inside the hotel and room was too dark for a caribbean resort for me. When I arrived by taxi... more

Dutch or French side? Go Dutch. We picked the Westin because you know what to expect from an exclusive chain hotel. The hotels on the French side you just don't know what to expect. We did meet a woman whose room was broken into on Orient Beach. She underwent hassle from the mangement and transferred to the Westin. The point... more

Just got back from my trip and I have to say I was a bit disappointed.. Of course, we had problems with checking in to our rooms. The rooms we have booked long before our trip were not available, the upgrade they offered was to bring in extra bed to our room which was absolutely disgusting. We took a long... more

Went one week Aug.23,2008. Had a good rate. Yes, the outside of the hotel is not impressive, but I was more concerned about the inside. The hotel front reception was friendly, the room staff was great, the pool and gym staff helpful. The rooms comfortable with plenty of space and the bathrooms huge. Never had to sign for towels. The... more

With another couple we stayed for two nights in the middle of August.-then off to a timeshare. As a "prefferred guest" with points, but not really using them, we were given a room overlooking the pool with the ocean in the background. Staff could not have been friendlier. First class accommodations-room was clean and serviced each day. Pool area was... more
