My husband and I stayed at the Sonesta Great Bay the last weekend in January after spending a week in Anguilla. We had a group-on deal for the Great Bay for 3 nights. Upon check-in, we were assigned to a ground floor room. We asked if we could upgrade, even willing to pay a price, but unfortunately, Vickie, I believe... More

I had a wonderful stay at the Sonesta Great Bay! I thought that the employees were very warm and welcoming. I read some reviews where previous visitors had problems and I still decided to go for the Sonesta Great Bay (partly because I got a great deal). I did run into one problem with my bathtub not draining, but as... More

Just returned yesterday from St Maarten where we stayed at the Sonesta Great Bay. The resort is small, on the Bay where, if you have ocean view, you can watch the cruise ships perform the awesome feat of docking those massive carriers. We were on the fifth floor. There were 6 of us, including two four year old twins. Sheldon... More

We booked the Sonesta Great Bay because our neighbours have gone 5 years in a row. We will never go again. There were several good things: 1) the walk to Philipsburg is quick, 2) watching the cruise ships is fun, 3) the food is pretty good (if you go, have the coconut shrimp at Molasses), 4) the welcome champagne is...

They remember you from previous visits and treat you like family...... More

Stayed at The Great Bay for two fabulous weeks January 15-29th. We were very impressed with the staff from the moment we arrived. Our room was not ready but they told us to have lunch and come back in an hour. The room was clean but did have a musty odour. We eventually got used to smelling it.. Never had... More
