The Belair is one of the quiet heroes of St. Maarten's hospitality landscape. Well-run, and without any public drama, this all-suite hotel is not often in the news, and if so, only for announcing the reopening after extensive renovations and improvements.
Hurricanes also bring opportunities; such as with the Belair, which used the seasonlong business interruption after the events of 2017 to completely refurbish the accommodations and turn the property so beloved by many into an up-to-date and a rather chic vacation destination. That's why now is the perfect time to consider the Belair Hotel as accommodation for your next stay on Sint Maarten. Or, if you are an island resident, consider recommending the hotel to family members or friends who plan to visit our island. With a location close to Philipsburg, but only minutes away from bustling Simpson Bay by using the fast Link One connection, the Belair combines access to the island's best shopping with proximity to nightlife and dining 'over the hill' in Simpson Bay. Right on the premises is the Gingerbread Cafe, a charming Caribbean-styled restaurant built on the beach, overlooking the Caribbean Sea and the swimming pool. Open from 8 AM to 10 PM, the restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And as to be expected in the Caribbean, the bar is fully stocked to mix your favorite cocktail. If you plan to explore Sint Maarten - Saint Martin further - as you should - rent your car from Starlite Car Rental. This family-owned and operated rental car provider is headquartered at the Belair and is known for their superior service and competitive rates. By staying at the Belair, you are not a guest of a standard hotel, but an all-suite resort. Yes, there is a kitchen and a fridge to be filled. And this is why you will welcome the Mini Mart, a well-stocked convenience store with suitable opening hours from 8 AM to 8 PM and on weekends as late as 9 PM. They even offer a service to stock your vacation unit pre-arrival. The Belair Beach Hotel is a vacation ownership property, and this is the reason why it offers accommodations superior to most resorts or hotels. If you discover during your stay that the vacation apartment you occupy is indeed your preferred 'home away from home', contact Willie at the sales department and allow him to present the many options of how to own a piece of the new and rejuvenated Belair Beach Hotel. Open from 8 AM to 10 PM, the restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Gingerbread is famous for its all-you-can-eat-BBQ on Mondays and invites all St. Maarten visitors to join in. Other evenings have different specials, notably Lobster Night on Wednesday and Surf and Turf on Friday. On all special nights, you will also find live entertainment. Happy Hour lasts a generous three hours from 3 PM to 6 PM - plenty of time to enjoy the tropical cocktails mixed at the fully stocked bar.
