Coral Beach Club Villas & Marina

The hotel and staff is wonderful but Internet does not work in the rooms - only in the Lobby and restaurant. According to the owner, this is the Philippines and out of his control. In the 21st century, this is no longer an acceptable answer. Other hotels have found the solution. For the price taken, this hotel has no excuse !

We stayed at the Sea Fan Villa at Coral Beach. This was our first trip to St. Martin so, if you've never been, I'll give you our overview of the island, too. I don't do many Tripadvisor reviews but, when I do it's usually because the lodging was exceptional or horrible. Our Villa was exceptional! I also like to provide the details that I typically look for when I'm in a Tripadvisor worm-hole! Our three bedroom, stand alone building was very large and beautifully appointed The rooms have very comfortable king-size beds facing the ocean. All have floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors. The master: a huge bathroom with double sinks and the largest shower area we've ever seen. a large-walk in closet with a washer/dryer. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, glasses, utensils, pots, etc. There's an elevator which was great for taking our luggage up to the second floor! You don't need adapters if coming for the States. The furnishings are beautiful and the place was immaculately clean. There is a patio off the living/dining area with a dining table, lounge chairs and your very own plunge pool that runs the length of the villa. It's about 4 ft deep. They have a concierge who met us at the airport and, while we rented a car, we followed her to the resort as the roads are winding and it would've been difficult to find. It's about a 30 minute drive. This person was lovely and immediately available to answer questions throughout our stay. The google map doesn't give you turn-by-turn directions but, if there are two people in the car, one person can guide the driver by following the google map. Having a car enabled us to see the whole island. There were many road closures and detours. Roads are narrow and you drive on the right. It may have been due to the hurricane but, you should know that Dawn beach was completely covered in seaweed - like a thick blanket covering the sand and in the ocean. At times, there was a foul odor. This was disappointing as we purposely chose a resort directly on the beach but, didn't use it once. I would give our villa 5 stars but not having use of the beach was an unexpected disappointment. The units are individually owned so, it's not a resort, it's quiet at night (which we wanted) and there is no main pool however, you can walk next door and use the Oyster Bay Beach Resort. They have a beautiful infinity pool, a market and a couple of restaurants. You can get drinks and snacks at the pool bar. THE ISLAND IN GENERAL: Orient Beach is a gorgeous, white sandy beach about 15 minutes away. We stayed in front of La Playa Orient Bay. Two chairs and an umbrella are $30. We ate at their beachfront restaurant - delicious. A few vendors approached us on the beach selling items and massages. If you're not interested, give them a firm 'no". Grand Case on the French side has restaurants on the water and some boutique shops. We at at Ocean 82 and had an incredible meal overlooking the water but, it's expensive! $400 f

This villa got cool jacuzzi, I was, simply, enjoy’ it for three days, I’d been shy, at first, also, I have felt myself, like at home, even though I was a guest, later, eventually, my sister, Margot, had helped me out, it was my excitement, so glad to swim in it, in my opinion you must feel-free to go gym, and not take an example from me 😄; there’s classy atmosphere in the nearest restaurants, I can’t recall the name, but it would remind an aquarium, to be honest, I liked the fish dish — how they cooked it so much excellent - I have no idea, since I can’t stand this food, also I ordered pasta, I can’t live without it; Dawn Beach should be accessed with the villa ID’s (given by its front desk, and the secretary will tell you passwords), and it’s minutes from your villa, we were there in the morning and at evening, around your house — you’ll see some hummingbird “Collibri” with a little next in the garden (you know!), it’s not a robot. Their food stores are far, but have tasty products, you can ask secretary for help, however they’ll deliver you in their taste from whichever store THEY will want, it’s like this everywhere, my sister, and I loved the assortment of the food and beverages, we bought a lot of course, and I liked the people out there, even though I have, never, been in Europe, except for layovers thrice. Beaches you must go in rented car too, my sister, Margot, is able to drive, and we had visited, mostly, all beaches, except for Moho beach (airplanes land, as in Aruba, very-very close to you, and this is what makes Saint Martin CLASSY, as well) , French, & Dutch flags wave with pride, when you drive to the capital of 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘴𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘨 or the markets on French side. „𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗛" is on Dutch side, bordering very much with French one. I liked the mall in the capital, but I can’t afford it, sorry, Sint Maarten, it’s for wife of Emmanuel Macron, but, 🤷🏽‍♀️ I don’t know. You know (?), the gates in front of your room are cool - I was using the switch however I wished ☺️. No one saw me. Princess Juliana is one hour from the villa, approximately, you’ll pass through the mounts of St. Maarten, guys 😇, if I’ll go next time, then I’ll want to go hiking. I have seen in my dream (when I slept): How I sent letters to “English side” (surprisingly enough! lol 😆), and I was confused, I did not know, what to do, I was speaking with a Frenchwoman (but I was thinking, she was a Dutchwoman), and I needed to send it to French side, and I was away from the airport, where I would’ve had to go by taxi for 8 hours, I was scared much, and initially, I flied by that airplane in Sint Maarten, probably “KLM” (and I was, well, such demanding: “WHY?! ‘JETBLUE’ 🥸🤬😳” 😄), I do NOT know - why I realized it was, in particular, Sint Maarten.

We stayed in Marina Townhouse 17 and really enjoyed our stay. Place was immaculate and very well stocked for cooking any meal. Very comfortable furnishings and beds as well. Our stay in the Townhouse was made extra special by our house attendant Katty. She was very attentive and kind. Wen to the pool at Oyster Bay Resort and Sharon at the privacy gate always greeted us with a big smile and friendly conversation. And bartender Wanda at Coral Beach Club bar?????? Absolutely amazing. I honestly never asked for a thing. She remembered what I like and watched me and brought things when we were ready. Extremely attentive. When my partner hurt his knee on a jet ski, Wand fixed a large bag of ice for him. Both ladies at out Coral Beach Club office wee excellent and accommodating. We did experience a few internet connection issues but nothing major. Just some buffering. Beach was ok and swimmable. And it’s not daily accessible. We rented a car and it’s very easy to get around the island. Download maps.me and you will be pleased with the directions.

We recently stayed in villa 6.... an oceanfront unit right on the beach with a private plunge pool. The photos give just a tiny glimpse of what is one of the cleanest, most spacious, comfortable units we have ever stayed in! We traveled with our two children and had family staying in another unit on site. We had everything we needed right there! We did a grocery delivery from shopanddrop and would walk to the veranda for quick bites. Big fish (on site) was amazing, and we had good meals at infinity as well. We did have a rental car, but found ourselves lounging in the villa and on the beach most of the time. The staff was friendly and accommodating- helped us get a birthday cake for my husband and arrange for a private driver one night when we wanted to venture out and enjoy some cocktails. We are already planning a trip back next year. A true week in paradise.

We got a 3 bedroom beach view through Interval International and this place does not disappoint. The pictures from website are accurate. Just beautiful. Come with lots of nespresso pods. Definitely on a coffee high right now. Daily cleaning if you want it and daily turn down service if you want it (at no extra charge). Got a nice cheese and fruit tray when we arrived. You can’t see beach from room but can see ocean. The only bummer is the beach is not swim able due to the sea **** being real bad. The beach might be better at other times during the year but June sucks. But just get a car and drive to the many beautiful beaches on the island. Everything is close and driving is easy. I was surprised how nice the Carrefour supper market was. Has everything you would need. We drove to the French side yesterday and got some great items from one of the many bakeries. Come to this resort and enjoy the good life. Our private pool is 20 by 20 feet and 4 1/2 feet deep. Great place to spent the afternoon and have a few cocktails!
