The pool should be bigger

This may not be the most elegant hotel on the island, but in my opinion it is the best. The food at the Gingerbread Cafe rivals any top class restaurant and the mini-mart, albeit small, has anything that you may want. If they don't they will get if for you. Also, you can fill out a grocery list and they will stock your room with those items so that they are there when you arrive. All rooms have two bedrooms and bathrooms. Two large couches in the living area, one being a sleeper. A small kitchen but with anything that you would need if you decided to cook. Dining table with 4 chairs. There is a TV in both bedrooms and the living room. Each unit has a very large porch overlooking the beach and the ocean. Great housekeeping service everyday. The staff are exceptional. It is a couple of minutes walk on a pathway by the beach to the hotel next door if you choose to eat at the restaurants there, but with the Gingerbread Cafe available, there really is not a need. I do have to admit that if you are a pool person, theirs is very small, but it isn't really needed with the ocean right there. The price is great and you should really try out this hidden gem.

Rooms were clean, staff friendly and helpful. Great feature having umbrellas reserved at no charge.

Friendly staff, great customer service. Rooms are very spacious.

Room cleanliness

The best of what I expectd. Bought a timeshare in 1987 and always enjoyed it with stays there and exchanges. After selling it pre covid just wanted to go back to enjoy it for the last time. At age 82 just doing my last trip to this Island and your resort

The room was clean

Great staff except for the one beach lounger/towel attendant (not Ricardo he was good). The person left before 4 pm and gave us towels but asked us to sit on any empty loungers that were assigned to others. Then because he did not do his job properly we had the back row the next day as well as the front row was assigned before we came down. Other than this minor issue we had a great stay. Staff went above and beyond to keep our luggage after check out. Everyone smiling and helpful. Rooms are not updated but are clean and views are great with large balconies. Would recommend a vehicle in this location as restaurants are not close other than Gingerbread and the restaurants at Little Divi. No pizza restaurants would deliver except Dominoes. Short drive to Philipsburg. Great beach at this location!

Stayed January 2026. Hotel is old, but it makes up for it with a perfect beach, view and staff. Everything works perfectly. It’s just dated. Great size room. Great views. Beds are good. Cleaning staff (3rd floor), gentleman at front desk and security guard (the one with 2 kids who left for Holland) are standouts within a great team. Would recommend for anyone who’s not snobby.

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner & happy hour at Gingerbread Cafe was a daily treat. Great special dishes, great service, amazing. So pleased!!!!!

Due to age and dampness it affected my allergies. That was the only negative. Beach was gorgeous. I was disappointed I could not get a refund for one night since I had already been stranded 4 nights prior to coming here. I reserved 3 nights initially and later airlines were able to move my flight up a day so we took it but could not get the one night stay refunded. Under the severe circumstances I was not pleased an exception was not made to refund the night.

highly recommended

Hotel was great, 30 years ago. Rooms are outdated. Hotel Staff was great, adjoining bar/resturant, some of staff was rude and didn’t seem like they were happy there. Location was great and surrounding atmosphere was good. I would stay there again if they would update it.

Yes

Incredible location and view, clean room even if furniture outdated and good service from reception, cleaning to beach staff

yes

Clean rooms, extremely friendly staff, and wonderful beach!!

Great place to stay. Probably the best people on the island. Friendly, fun and laid back. The beach is beautiful and not rocky. Other than sporadic hot water shortages it was one of the best places I’ve stayed in a long time. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Sint Maarten. :)

A swimming pool jet didnt have a cover where the jets were. I put my hand on that jet and almost took my fingers off. I reported it, and the staff didnt fix until several other guests I encourage to report it. The staff didnt show enough urgency to a dangerous situation, I just felt using your facilities the staff wasnt coopertive to my report of a unsafe condition.

The Belair is a quiet hotel with great service and nice Cafe available for dinner. The mini market on site was a huge convenience. You won’t find a nicer beach on the island. Snorkeling off the beach was fun and convenient. Love the Belair Beach Hotel. Don’t change a thing ❤️
