WHY IT RATES: The resort is extending its pre-opening rates to a reopening special offer of up to 45 percent off. -Janeen Christoff, TravelPulse Senior Writer


The limitless, all-inclusive, adults-only Sonesta Ocean Point Resort prepares to reopen December 15 after the long and arduous process of rebuilding over the past 15 months followed by the all-inclusive, family-friendly Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino & Spa still under renovation and reopening February 1, 2019. The resorts are returning as St. Maarten is poised to welcome visitors as the island recovers following Hurricane Irma last year.

To make a visit to St. Maarten even more appealing, Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten is updating and extending its PRE-opening special to a RE-opening special offering up to 45 percent off rates for bookings now through January 31, 2019, for travel through December 20, 2019.

Sonesta Ocean Point retail rates start at $229 per person, all-inclusive for a Junior Suite, and at Sonesta Maho Resort, rates start at $132 per person, all-inclusive in a Superior Room, both based on double occupancy. Use promo code: REOPENING when booking.

Sonesta Ocean Point Resort's much-loved modern Caribbean design in the guestrooms and public spaces remains the same, while the lobby is being entirely redesigned with an updated contemporary style and is still in progress, now scheduled to be completed January 20, 2019.

In the meantime, the resort is providing a comfortable alternative location within the property for guests to check-in. Two new dining venues will make their debut including Casa Blue Tapas Restaurant & Bar, featuring a Caribbean-fusion menu, sangrias and mojitos open for lunch and dinner on the rooftop terrace above Azul Restaurant, and the Candlelit Island Grill, an intimate al fresco venue open for dinner only.

As an added enticement, a complimentary catamaran excursion will be available twice a week through January 7, offering guests a scenic coastal cruise with a sail to the pristine Creole Rock natural reserve and a stop-over at Long Bay to enjoy a swim in crystal clear waters with snacks and refreshments prepared by the culinary team.

The resort's evenings transition to a sumptuous BBQ full of Caribbean flavors, while a steel drum band plays under the stars on the Point Pool deck. Another signature offering includes Sunday brunch at Azul with bottomless mimosas, bloody marys and prosecco, with the entertainment team developing more exciting things to come.

Every effort is being made to minimize the appearance and any disturbance to guests caused by the construction at Sonesta Maho Resort, which will be entirely closed off during the process with the exterior facade almost completed. Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten has taken every measure to implement the latest architectural innovations and storm-resistant materials in the renovation, ensuring the future security and well being of its properties, staff and guests.

Reopening December 15, 2018, Sonesta Ocean Point Resort embraces a contemporary Caribbean style, offering an adults-only, limitless all-inclusive vacation experience while bringing style, luxury and outstanding service to St. Maarten.

Set in the most spectacular location with breathtaking views over Maho Bay, adjacent to Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino & Spa, the 130 all-suite ultra-luxurious yet sustainable "resort within a resort" sits on the westernmost point of the island and features three exclusive pools including the Edge pool with a zero entry cliffside beach, four bars and two restaurants including the signature Azul restaurant and other resort amenities such as 24-hour room service, state-of-the-art fitness center, an open-air wellness area and private cabanas.

Amenities are complemented by exemplary service from personalized concierges and Butler service in the top 25 suite categories for extra comfort and next level luxury, all culminating in one of the most uniquely designed resorts in St. Maarten and the entire Caribbean.

Apart from the exclusive amenities at Sonesta Ocean Point, guest have full access to all services and facilities at Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino & Spa with five additional restaurants and bars, Serenity Spa with sauna and steam room, tour desk, sports courts, Casino Royale and more than 24,000 square-feet of brand new meeting and conference facilities.
