Hotels in St. MaartenA simple 3-star apartment-style hotel in central Simpson Bay
7.9/10
A convenient Simpson Bay base, with roomy suites but uneven upkeep.
Commodore Suites is a simple 3-star apartment-style hotel, not a beachfront resort. We'd pick it for exploring Simpson Bay: Kim Sha Beach, restaurants and bars are walkable, and the supermarket downstairs makes everyday supplies easy. Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the helpful staff, spacious rooms and generally good cleanliness. Kitchenettes add flexibility, although guests say their equipment can be limited.
The trade-off is consistency rather than comfort alone. Recent Expedia guests mention nightlife noise and temperamental hot water, while some rooms show wear. The hotel advertises an exercise spa pool and two hot tubs, but a March 2026 Tripadvisor guest reported them largely inoperative; confirm their status if they're important. We'd skip it for a quiet resort holiday or serious self-catering, but it's a practical choice for shorter, independent stays.

Best for: short independent stays; travelers prioritizing walkable dining; couples wanting extra room
Watch out for: nightlife noise; uneven maintenance and hot water; limited kitchenette equipment
Location: Central Simpson Bay, near Kim Sha Beach and dining; not directly beachfront.
Rooms: Roomy suites with kitchenettes; some guests find furnishings dated or cooking supplies inadequate.
Cleanliness: Generally praised, with occasional reports of dust and missed room servicing.
Service: Helpful staff are a recurring strength, though follow-through on problems varies.
Amenities: Exercise spa pool, two hot tubs, outdoor gym and laundry advertised; current pool operation needs confirmation.
Fees and surprises: Parking is free; breakfast costs extra. Confirm late-arrival arrangements because official and Expedia reception information differs.
