The Morgan Resort Spa Village
View from the pool is gorgeous, the pool area itself is perfect day and night so pretty. The food was excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any accommodations we needed. The shuttle drivers to and from the airport were very nice and gave some fun island hot spots to hit.

Sonesta Maho Beach All Inclusive Resort Casino & Spa
I Had a good time at the Sonesta, clean rooms, stocked fridge a variety of drinks, alcohol and non alcoholic, everything worked but the iron and house keep resolved that quickly. The grounds and resort were clean. The hotel is very close to the airport.
