A fabulous place to stay for a relaxing and fun filled vacation! The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful! Shout out to Felix! He really made our vacation extra special! Lots of activities, great beach and pool. Food is good, stop by and see Laurel at Slice Pizza by the pool! Great drinks, great bartenders. Plenty of shops and a mini market, all located on property! Thank you to all the staff at Divi Little Bay Beach Resort!

Great resort for our family. All the staff was friendly & very helpful with anything we needed. Beach & pools were clean with plenty of space and chairs.

beautiful beach, infinity pool and roof top bar. overall nice resort

I loved the grounds, you never have to leave. Most of the staff is incredible and so personable. Room, bathrooms and restaurants are super clean. The staff is very helpful with any issue or question you may have. Looking forward to going back.

The beach is amazing. Not crowded and water is perfect. Best beach for swimming and floating.

Nice grounds, well kept and maintained. Beautiful property.

Perfect family friendly property located directly on the beach!

We had a very relaxing week at the resort - we enjoyed the different food options and the beach was very clean. The staff were all very friendly and we’ll definitely go back one day!

Positives: Overall the staff was very friendly. Beach was beautiful and plenty of chairs and umbrellas. All-inclusive was worth it. The roof-top restaurant, "MIX" was perfect for watching the sunset and food there was the best at the resort. Divi is close to town for shopping and lunch. Ryley, the resort dog, was a bonus as her visits were always welcome. Negatives: The concierge kept pushing the vacation club to the point we didn't want to talk to them. The room was very dated and run down. The air conditioner went down at least once a day or night. Reported several times and no one checked on it. The food was average and lacked variety.

I liked how quiet it was and I liked being near the infinity pool and not having to share the pool with all the young families. The Mix and the pizza place had good food. Did not like the food at oceans.

The setting was perfect. Nice views from the room. The staff was very friendly and professional. More dinning selections are needed.

It’s a beautiful setting between two aqua blue bodies of water. Some of the basics in the condo are outdated and need upgrading. The food is acceptable, but very expensive and has a mandatory service charge which is a type of gratuity. Beware that due to this any added gratuity is completely optional!

This was my second trip to this resort. I absolutely enjoy everything about the resort.

Stunning views, excellent drinks, superb staff and service, and a fun but relaxing atmosphere! We loved our stay!!

only a single wash cloth 2x during week and 2 hand towels. They repeatedly explained laundry was short We had no hot or warm water in kitchen sink all week, one of stove switches was broken, couldn’t be fixed, there was a crack in bottom of our shower door, and it took 10 minutes for shower water to get hot . I found housekeeping staff kind and tried to be helpful. Also same with bellmen. Waitstaff in Seabreeze and Mix were very courteous.

the staff were very friendly . the food was great. only thing we didn’t like was that majority of the shops on the property close very early

I loved the atmosphere at the hotel complex. Everyone made you feel welcome. Resort was clean and quiet, very restful stay.

This was a beautiful property, away from the airport and not in a bustling area. We rented a car to drive there from airport and check out nearby Phillipsburg. Easy to find, easy to park, the resort is extremely clean, neat and tidy and well laid out. The wristbands to unlock your door didn't work all the time which was frustrating. Our unit was fantastic ( one bedroom suite). Clean and well appointed. Very quiet in evenings which I enjoyed. Our favourite restaurant was Mix. which had the perfect amount of options. The Pure Ocean restaurant only has the buffet option, I liked the offerings at Seabreeze. My wife liked The Shack , all Mexican offerings. There is on site mini grocery which had everything we needed for food and drinks. Prices, we found were very reasonable. We did feel there was insufficient food service staff at The Shack/ Gizmos. Beach staff were great. Water was beautiful and the beach was clean. The sand is soft and brown. Lots of chairs and umbrellas. Some very very nice swimming pools. Overall a very nice resort with good food options.

We were very disappointed with our stay at the resort. We were originally placed in a Casita but it got flooded the next morning, so we were given 1 BD Suite, which was exactly what I booked and paid for. We didn't have all inclusive option. We ate at the resort twice for lunch at Pool Restaurants. It took 40 minutes to get a drink on day one. And it took 56 minutes for our food to arrive (hot dog, chicken nuggets and 2 poke bawls) and another 20 minutes to get a check. We took a car at the property and ate all dinner outside. The only great place at the resort is breakfast/coffee place where you can get multiple things, including salad, yogurt and pastries and pretty good coffee. Staff was very dry and tired. The only good experience was a conversation with a manager who gave us a new room in 30 seconds v. front desk stuff who said that they could clean the flooded room.

Not liked when resort employee take sun umbrellas to early, when sun still hot.

The people are nice and the property was well kept.

We had a very relaxing time while at the Divi and enjoyed the wonderful amenities of the resort each day!

My wife and I both got food poisoning on different days. There were iguanas everywhere and they pooped all over. The restaurants cater to the carry out orders and room service orders that are not all inclusive and the people on the all inclusive never get service for food and drinks. I would go to Sint Maarten again but I would never stay at this resort.

I liked the location and the beauty of the surroundings. I didn’t like the room. Probably the old part of the hotel. Waterfront rooms but inside smells bad, old. Gives feeling of staying in a motel. I think they should tear down this section and rebuild otherwise you cannot give a good review to the resort

We thoroughly enjoyed the infinity pool and the multiple food options available onsite. All rooms have a view of the water. There was a waterfall and stream that emptied into the infinity pool outside our room. We really liked Sea Breeze restaurant.

More Caribbean foods.

We had a fantastic week at the Divi Little Bay resort. We had a one bedroom suite with a full kitchen and a beautiful balcony overlooking the port. There is not a bad view at this resort! Staff were very friendly and we felt very safe here. Food at the restaurants was excellent. The beach was beautiful and it was never a problem to get a lounge chair or shade. We will be back again!

The staff definitely was the best part of the vacation. To name a few, although I am definitely forgetting some and might have spelled some names wrong, Rufino, Maria, Gilberto, Tatsya, Mike, and Mislyn made our experience an absolute pleasure. I will say the breakfast left a lot to be desired, but overall, my sister and I were content with our experience.

We stayed in Oceans section. It was new and very modern. The Mexican restaurant and the rooftop restaurants were great. We enjoyed the pools and the swim up bar

Staff was friendly!

The property is beautiful. The beach is gorgeous, water crystal clear, blue. Our room was spacious and clean, nice views of the water. Easy to walk wherever you need to go, but golf cart type shuttles are eager to help. Eddie was the best, he took great care of us. Service at all of the restaurants was good. For the most part, the staff was friendly. Gizmos bar had good drinks, great views, some good entertainment. The infinity pool was nice and relaxing until all the iguanas showed up…lol, they were harmless though. Check in and check out was easy. We did all-inclusive and it was very worth it for us. We would love to return!

Excellent grounds for scenery and ambience. Design of the buildings and resort hotel rooms were very attractive. Very tidy, clean resort grounds. Beach great for swimming, nice sand, enjoyable beach front patio restaurant. Shopping on site for groceries or otherwise was mediocre, although not expensive. The buffet restaurant on site (at $45 per person) also mediocre, which explains why so few patrons frequented it each night.

Our TV didn’t work the entire week. Food was not great. Beds were not comfortable at all.

Amazing property, our 3rd visit here. Some of the restaurant bar/waitstaff could use some smiles and hospitality training but otherwise a great resort

Great location and supper friendly people. We used the all inclusive not bad but have to sign for everything kind of corky. For breakfast wanted a uougart or something but have to sign for the whole buffet of $28 each and can’t just go in and get something. They do have a coffee/ sandwich shop but it is not part of the all inclusive, why would you pay twice? The place also has a beautiful beach and views.

The Divi resort team were so friendly. The bars and restaurants on the resort are fantastic. We were astonished at how affordable the food and drink were. Our advice is to travel the island too and enjoy the local eateries. Pinel island is a must see.

This is a low quality property. The staff are unfriendly and extremely slow. The chair and umbrella situation on the beach is horrible. If you want a beach umbrella you need to be there by 8am. After that all the chairs are reserved with towels. The positive thing is the food is excellent, even though the service is lax.

Excellent location, good food and room, beautiful beach and numerous pools

Great property! Beaches fabulous! Highly recommend.

Nightmare!

It was a nightmare. Before I provide details, I tell you that I stayed at a Divi-family hotel in Aruba in 2024–which was great and the reason that I selected to stay at Divi in St. Maarten in 2025. However, the St. Maarten stay was a horror show for several reasons. (1) Checkin - they didn’t give me the type of room that I reserved. It took one hour to get the correct room. (2) Checkin - they initially told me that I did not have the $80 credit that I was promised when I reserved the room—but when I showed them my confirmation, all of a sudden the credit appeared on their screen. (3) No room cleaning - on the second day, they forgot to clean our room. Fortunately, we were on a day trip; thus, didn’t need the room until the evening. We asked for them to send someone to clean the room while we went to dinner. They said they would send someone at 7:00–but when we returned at 10:00 PM, the room was not cleaned. We had to complain again before they finally cleaned the room. (4) Unfriendly beach staff - the workers who set up the beach chairs and the umbrellas passed by you unless you waved cash at them to show that you intend to tip them. Lack of available taxis -When we walked to reception to go to dinner at restaurants that were off the resort, there would be groups waiting for taxis and eventually were late for their dinner reservations because taxis were not readily available at the hotel. Thereafter, we called a taxi ourselves to pick us up and drop us off when needed.

One bedroom suite was spacious and clean. Had to walk up a bit of a hill to get to room but was ok for us…others may have to use bellman in golf carts for help. Only 2 or 3 buildings with that.

Property and room were excellent. They went above and beyond to please you Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Skip the buffet a lot of cold stuff. Get a flip waffle iron for fresh waffles. We learned to get a freshly made omelette. Wonderful !!

Very nice place

Absolutely amazing . I highly recommend

Divi is beautiful area with awesome vistas, the one lacking issue is the nonchalant staff that miss the details with the rooms and their condition.

Majority of staff not friendly, beach front rooms desperately needs to be updated. Glass shower door fell off and was unable to be fixed. They tried to tell us just not to slide the one side however we demanded a new room. The food selection on the resort is terrible. We tried their prime rib dinner buffet and it was awful. Items were cold and the prime rib consisted mostly of fat. I can honestly say this was my first and last time to St. Martin

The hospitality was beyond anything I had experienced .

This isn’t the Ritz Carlton. But the beach and pools are amazing. Room wasn’t perfect but the beach and pool were. Never had to leave the resort if we didn’t want to. Such a beautiful property.

Staying at property was good. The beach front rooms have excellent views. Beach is maintained and clean. My only issue was when calling the front desk feom my room was horrible. I had to call 3 to 5 times before someone picked up. Also, the wait time for getting food from the Shack was very long...there was only one server every night

Great location and beach and the food choices and restaurants were plentiful. However, we were all inclusive and wish they had provided bottled water and cokes in our fridge. We were at the far end of the resort and had to walk quite a distance to even get a water. Also , the resort water shack was worthless -they say they have kayaks and snorkel gear for use but we were told several times they would not check them out because of the wind - the water was as calm as could be. Also we paid for an excursion ahead of time and were told , when we arrived for excursion, that it had been cancelled !! Think they should have told us ahead of time so we could have made other plans!!

This is a beautiful property with incredible ocean views on both sides! This makes Divi Little Bay very unique and the only place I have ever stayed where you could see the ocean on either side of the property.

Restaurants were very good. Getting clean towels and room supplies was hit and miss, but staff responded when we called.

A fabulous time! Water so blue, beautiful beach, great pools and such a friendly staff! All the bars had amazing bartenders! Sea breeze was a great restaurant with lava rock dinners! Only problem was we couldn’t get a beach umbrella for 3 days bc wind had damaged so many the week before. I realize you can’t control weather but there should be more on hand. That said, we will be back!!!!

This is an absolutely gorgeous well-maintained resort with views that are incredible and exceptional beaches. We were in a 1-BR condo up on the hill and our balcony view was breathtaking. Be aware that if you have any mobility limitations, there are stairs to get to the upper level and the units with the best views are up on a steep hill. There is a shuttle service, but in busy times, it can take a bit to catch one. The wifi was only available a couple of hours a day and tv was out the entire time of our stay. While this is not why we came and it was only a minor irritation for us, they do advertise free wifi and many cable TV stations including US networks and ESPN. We notified the office several times, but this was not resolved during our stay. Given the pricing, this was an amenity we expected.

What a beautiful property on a breathtaking location. We stayed all inclusive and were very pleased with dining options and food quality. Room was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed. All this said, it’s the staff that really make this place great. Every single person we interacted with was friendly, helpful and put a smile on our faces. 10/10 will stay again.

The food was good and the employees were nice, cordial, and respectful.

Good Location with beautiful sand beach with clear blue water. Very good food. Everything is clean with good services. Rooms were good and close to everything. It was our first time in this island. We enjoyed our vacation there and will come back again to same hotel.

Amazing place..Staffs are friendly and accommodating.

Beautiful property, excellent beach!

Very nice

Great resort in gorgeous location. Snorkeling right off the shore.

We love the resort for its location and beach. The restaurants are good but preferred when pure ocean wasn’t a buffet at night. Options are limited for food. Most of the staff is very friendly, we especially enjoy Lou and Steven. The drinks are great! Love the beach service. Pools are beautiful and sunsets at the infinity pool are amazing! The property Is beautiful!

Great place for the price. Food was great. Above expectations

Was a great place to stay with family!

Great resort we enjoyed our stay! Beach was wonderful! Great drinks! Snorkeling was amazing!

Had a lot of things available that might be needed. A lot of space so it didn't feel crowded.

Firstly we had no hot water. The front desk was informed about this and maintenance men came after about 90 minutes. They indicated that they had reset the hot water, but it did not get any better. We were only there one day so we left disappointed. We found two cans of Sprit in our fridge. One had been opened. It appeared that the cleaning staff did not bother to clean out the fridge.

We stayed for a few days during Christmas. I see all the other nice reviews, so I believe we got the worst room: the bathroom door will not close completely without pushing it hard to close, the TV volume could not be turned up or down, the telephone did not work for our entire stay, the wifi did not work on two separate evenings. But what upset me the most was the issue with AC. On Dec 26, the AC stopped working. We reported the problem to the front desk. However, we had to stay the entire afternoon and night in an overheated room because the resort did not have a technician onsite. Their excuse was Christmas. They did not offer a different room, saying they were fully booked, nor offered any other compensation, and they did not try to be helpful at all. Expedia shows four stars for this room, but I would barely give it three stars. We will never return.

Great beach. Decent food options for all-inclusive. Not enough entertainment during day.

Good property, but check-in could be better.

Nice and quiet.

Safe, clean, good on site dining options, and on site beach access. Very good snorkelling right at the Resort. Staff was friendly and helpful and very nice to deal with.

Hard working caring employees dedicated to serve the guest and make the vacation more memorable. Our St Maarten home away from home.

One of the best snorkeling spots on the island is connected to the property! And the former Queen of Holland stayed on the property while we were there. Amazing history and wonderful staff made our stay incredible and relaxing.

Nice little bay location Transportation available but be prepared to sit in traffic regardless of time of destination as the island infrastructure on roads with the airport and cruise ship activities makes for expensive and slow transportation services

The property as a whole was wonderful. The staff were very friendly. The food was good and we had a variety of choices each evening. The property is quite spread out, but the bellmen were always available to give us a ride to the other side where are room was located. The beach staff hustled each morning to get the chairs and umbrellas up for all who wanted them. Upon arrival, the concierge was a bit pushy for us to attend the “open house” where they attempt to sell you on a long term package. And lastly, the WiFi was horrible. It wouldn’t connect in my room, but it would on my balcony. When it did connect, it would frequently drop and disconnect. Trying to reconnect would be hit or miss with emphasis on the miss. I really do like the resort and would be happy to return in the future.

We liked the escort to the room by cart. However, sometimes we just would prefer to be able to park near our room. This way we wouldn’t have to call and wait on the cart to arrive.

Perfectly located, alway welcoming, beautiful beaches and pools.

No hot water my 2nights whirlpool did not work Paella mussels clams not open staff just schrug her shoulders

The staff and people at the hotel were very friendly There was no hot water in my room 223 I would stay there again

The staff were friendly and helpful. Two of the restaurants you could make reservations on open table which makes it easy. If this your first trip to St Maarten check with on site amenities before booking an outside company. The Spa was great!

I was really safe, the people working there were really professional. I had fun. thank you

Service was terrible. Room was awfully dirty

The hotel cleaning staff were absolutely attentive and very accomodating, we never had to ask for extra towels, tp, etc... they always provided us with these items without asking for them. The grounds are impeccable, beautiful. I didn't like that my American Express was denied several times at check out, was informed by my credit card that no transaction was entered by Divi Bay ,therefore, no denied transaction existed, basically Divi Bay didn't enter the transaction and told me that the credit card declined which was very concerning, and misleading. Wrote to the administration but I never received a response, will think twice about visiting. If you have American Express, and you are visiting this resort, please make sure you bring an alternate credit card.

You didn’t have to leave the property it had everything you needed on the property. The staff needs to be more professional and not seem so grumpy

Limited wifi, lack of TV channels in rooms, ran out of towels daily , older rooms in need of remodeling

Location and the staff are amazing!!!

Great place, been going there for years

A lot of the staff seems very disgruntled and annoyed. Resort is a bit “ tired”.

I had an amazing experience at this beautiful place ! Thanks a lot.

You feel like you’re in Europe without traveling that far the property is pristine. The beaches are fantastic and the water is pretty.

The staff were excellent and beaches were nice and food was good but cleaning staff was not good I was there for three days and not once did cleaning staff come to clean or give us fresh towels. I went to front desk to tell them and always let them know there was leak in the toilet and nobody came .. only time cleaning crew came is when we were checking out . I would not stay here again..

Beach front balcony

There wasn’t so many places to eat within the resort but it is a beautiful location with SUCH friendly people, felt like home away from home

I have been to other Divi Resorts and their bar opens before 11am, with that said, I would like a mimosa with my breakfast and unfortunately, couldn't have it as they do not serve alcohol until 11am. Entertainment needs to be extended; things ended between 9:30p-10:30p!

The view was amazing

We arrived at the resort around 6pm. The check in process was okay. We get to the room to discover one washcloth, one hand towel. I called the front desk to request additional towels & it took 12 hours to get resolved. They never had any pool towels available even in the morning. The customer service at the shops and restaurants were awful. Rita at the resort's market/grocery store was the ray of sunshine. She had the most delightful personality, positive energy, and the best customer service on the resort. I can't forget to shout out Eddie, Roger, and the rest of the shuttle drivers for their awesome service. If you stay at this resort, be prepared to be ignored by the staff at the restaurants and shops and bring your own towels.

I am extremely disappointed with my recent stay at your resort. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that your standards fell far below what I expected. The room I was given was filthy and outdated, forcing me to request a change—something no guest should ever have to deal with. The service was abysmal, with wait staff seemingly uninterested and food taking forever to arrive. To make matters worse, your restaurants were consistently closed despite my prior reservations, leaving the bar as the only option. This level of mismanagement and disregard for guests is unacceptable. I expected a relaxing and enjoyable stay, but instead, I was met with frustration at every turn.

This was my first time out of the country. My birthday trip was amazing. It was a great experience for me being only 26. Everyone was welcoming all the way down to the other guest. It was mostly an older crowd but I did not mind they were still a VIBE. My room was the beach front room. The other rooms are a little more updated but no complaints here. The taxi services are very helpful. Try to explore the island like my cousin and I did. The food was amazing and I really enjoyed the pool side bar.

Our room was right on the beach, which was beautiful. It was a quick walk to amenities on the property. We rented a car (we would recommend) and had a great time exploring the island.
