The condo was beautifully decorated and well stocked. It was immaculate. The beach was a short walk away and staff was very good to set up comfy chaise lounges with umbrella. The only draw back for me was the access to a narrow terrace which had no access from the living/dining rooms but we spent most the time at the beach and restaurants so it was ok. The access to Oyster Bay Resort was a definite plus. The Veranda was good for lunch but the dinner restaurant was more of a 3 star. The Big Fish restaurant at Coral Bay was outstanding!

There are two restaurants on the property. We ate at each one at least once during our stay. The food was good, but I enjoyed going out and dining at the local restaurants. The bed was so comfortable. When we finally laid down in the evening we got some good rest. The staff were friendly and attentive.

We stayed in the \"penthouse\" villa, which was fantastic. Clean, modern, well-appointed, large. Great housekeeping, friendly staff, convenient amenities. The area itself is a bit away from things so you have to want that, which we did.

The 4-bedroom villa on the beach was absolutely beautiful and perfect for a family vacation. 5 star resort for sure! The pool looked just as amazing as it does on the web site-and the restaurants on the resort on both sides all had great food including vegetarian options. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the manager Ingrid is a wonderful person who actually helped us return a lost dog back to its owner!
Only downside of the area is the massive seaweed on the beach while we were there-and the taxis are expensive to travel around.

The property was nice. The staff was great as well. The sister property (Oyster bay resort) needs to upgrade some of their facilities. The gym is very small and lackluster on both properties and the pool needs a major renovation. We had a dishwasher issue that forced us to cancel some plans one night but it was eventually fixed. Cleaning could have been better on the first day of our stay, found old bread under the bed from a previous stay. Nice stay overall but improvements could be made to make the stay more enjoyable.

We stayed at the Coral Beach Club for our honeymoon and loved it !! The property is gorgeous, the staff are super friendly and the location can’t be beat! The property is also in the same vicinity of the Oyster Bay resort - it’s super fun to hang out at the pool there and listen to their live music and other events.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom townhouse which has a nice pleasant surprise. The units were over/under with 2 bedrooms upstairs and the living and kitchen area on the first floor.
The unit had 3 full bathrooms which was a nice surpise along with 2 full pull out couches. If necessary it is the ideal place for people whom are on a budget to stay at. The place can actually fit 8 people.
The only downside is the beach is filled with seaweed however that is the case for many beaches on the island.

We stayed in the penthouse and it was very clean and spacious but there was a horrible order like sewer order in the living room/kitchen area it was terrible. I complained several times to different staff members in the front desk and no one came to fix the problem. We were gone most of the day but when we returned it was nauseating. We stayed there for 5 nights and not till the day we were leaving, did the hotel manager call us, and only because my husband complained again to the housekeeper that came. It was not worth the money we paid!

There was a bit of a smell in the morning when they were cleaning the seaweed off the beach but it cleared up within a couple of hours. I guess if would have been a lot worse if they didn't do it. The front desk was amazing, it's under new management and they really try to keep you happy. I rented a villa on the beach, with a huge terrace and private pool, great to hang out on at night.

Perfect family beach vacation

The villa was very large with plenty of room and beds for our family of 6. The entire facility was very clean and well maintained and the location couldn't have been better - quiet yet had several restaurants and even a small grocery store just steps away. The beach was soft, water was clear, and snorkeling just a bit offshore was great. The staff were super friendly and helped us with every request. Using the Shop n' Drop grocery service we arrived to a fully stocked fridge and jumped straight into the pool. With the ease and friendliness of taxis, we didn't rent a car and easily explored the island. Our taxi driver even brought us food from his Aunt's barbecue one afternoon.

Best Vacation Ever

My boyfriend and I just returned from our vacation to St. Maarten (Dutch side) and had a fabulous time. The Coral Beach Club villa we rented was unbelievably beautiful, and the Oyster Pond area was awesome. I had stayed on the French side the last two times I visited the island, but now have a new favorite in the Oyster Pond area. The Coral Beach Club is now run by Re/Max and the two agents there (Dianna and Nancy) were the best. Very friendly and efficient. I had never rented a villa before but based on Trip Advisor reviews, we rented Villa #10 (The Triton) which had a superb view (it is in the second row from the beach which we preferred since it is higher up and more private). Two large decks, one with a plunge pool, and very modern décor with high-end appliances and all the accessories you could ever need. The area has several restaurants and we tried them all: Canoa (outstanding), Big Fish (very good), and Mr. Busby's for pizza, snacks and powerful Rum Punch drinks. Could not have been happier and we are looking forward to returning.

Great View

Our pool lights didn't work, so we couldn't use the pool at night. We tried to call the front desk and leave a message but the mailbox was full. It appears that front desk is limited on their service and isn't open 24 hours.

Dawn beach a nice to look at but has been overtaken by the seaweed. If you plan to stay here, just beware that the seaweed can be a problem. The ocean is the Atlantic ocean, so the waves are very rough...much different from the Caribbean ocean.

If you plan to stay here for more than a few days, I suggest renting a car. Don't make the mistake of renting a Jeep Wrangler, as the road are very narrow, windy, and mountainous.

St. Martin is a beautiful island. Me and the hubby plan to come back again.

Horrible Customer Service

The villas are beautiful.

The maids do a great job, and are very friendly.

The management has extremely limited customer service skills, and do not follow up as promised.

To be brief, by the third day of our stay, it was clear the pool was contaminated. It went from sparkling blue to green, to murky (so much so that you couldn't see the bottom--and only 5' deep), to smelly and probably unsafe.

Repeated complaints to the maids, the concierge, and the pool man were not properly responded to (i.e., the pool water continued its decline into swamped). On the fourth day of unusable pool, I contacted the booking service for help. They called the manager, who refused to deal with them, saying the customer had to come speak with her directly.

So I walked the 100' to the office, so I could describe the situation to her. Wouldn't it have been better to come see for yourself? Or to make the effort to come to the customer? Or at least call to find out what was wrong?

She was very defensive, said she was unaware of any problem, and did not apologize. She said she would investigate my claims.

I told her since our private pool was unusable for half our time, I was at this point looking for some sort of compensation. She promised to discuss this with her supervisor, and get back with me.

By the next day (5th day of problem), the pool was back to a pristine condition.

She never got back to me on compensation for the inconvenience. I went back to talk to her when we departed the property, but she wasn't in yet, as it was only 9:30 a.m.

Still haven't heard back on my complaint.

Significant customer service issues here. Stay elsewhere until they fix this issue. It's too expensive to offer this poor of service.

seaweed and bugs

Accommodations were spacious with top of the line appliances however bugs in the kitchen, a BBQ without propane, a fitness facility that was never cleaned and worst of all a beach covered in smelly seaweed was not inviting for a swim or tanning despite efforts to move the seaweed to the end of the short beach.

Dawn beach is full of seaweed, smelly & disgusting

Villa with marina view shares a tiny swimming pool ( literally really small, just bigger than bath tub at your home). They advertise as if all villas have a private pool, but it is not true ( they do know the description on the web is wrong,but don't try to fix it. Let people to be fooled). Dawn beach is not a kind of Caribean beach you may think of ( the picture you see on Expedia was probably taken several years ago). It is not a place where you can swim. Rotten seaweeds smell aweful and offer a good habitant for flies. The club house is NOT professional at all. They are just a property rental office. We might have lost our flight since they forgot booking a ride for us (they are close after working hours without an emergent contact). If you are a big group and want a spacious villa, this may be an option. However, what you pay is nothing but rent a villa. Don't expect anything beyound that. We will NEVER have a trip to this place again.

Summer Vacation-May 2015

We stayed in #13 Oyster, a beach view villa. It was wonderful! The bed was extremely comfortable and the rooms were kept very clean. Although we didn't spend much time in the villa, everything felt like home. We were surprised by the size of the patio and the pool. The only downside was that we were expecting a transfer from the airport to CBC, but there wasn't anyone there to pick us up when we arrived. It may be because our flight was delayed about 30 minutes. We ended up just renting cars at the airport and driving ourselves to CBC (we were planning to rent cars for our stay anyway), no big deal. I would definitely recommend Coral Beach Club to anyone staying in St. Maarten!!

Beautiful, Luxurious Townhome

We stayed in #15, the Scallop townhome. Absolutely loved our stay. The townhouse was beautifully decorated with expansive living space. We were welcomed to the condo with a tote bag that held French wine, Dutch cookies, assorted nuts and bug repellent (what a thoughtful touch!). Kitchen was stocked with everything necessary, we cooked meals at home most evenings and had all the cookware needed. Furnishings were comfortable and appropriate. Windows overlooking the Bay are floor to ceiling and fold in to open the space up to the outdoors. All bathrooms were clean and airy. Bedroom (we used only the master, although there was a beautiful second bedroom) was roomy, king bed was extremely comfortable. Plenty of closet space in the walk-in. Community was gated and security personnel were often seen, dutifully minding the grounds. All staff were helpful and personable. Dawn Beach was lovely, although weedy, so we often drove our rental to other beaches. The infinity swimming pool was right next to our townhouse, and we used it almost daily. It was always clean and a perfect temperature. The area of Oyster Bay in which the Coral Beach Club is located is beautiful and everyone we came across was friendly. We visited the small market next door frequently. We hope to come back to stay here again soon, as the Coral Beach Club surpassed every expectation we had.

Stayed with family for a week . The location of the hotel is great !. The rooms are spacious and have great amenities.

However, the housekeeping needs improvement . Had to call front desk to get toilet supplies . Also, had to ask them to change bed sheets after a few days of stay . I do not want to worry about these things when I am staying at a four star hotel .

Perfect hotel for beachlovers

Stayed 5 nights in unit 16 with my girlfriend. We were extremely happy with the hotel. Our unit was beautiful, clean, spacious with great AC and a plethora of balconies. The beach is approx 60 second walk from the units. Service at front desk, beach and restaurants was top notch.

If you intend to see entire island, rental car is highly recomended. The front desk arranged this for us, the car was delivered to hotel, and the price was great. The restaurants accessible by foot were great, but I wouldn't want those to be my only options for an entire trip.

If I had to mention a negative, it would be that the beach chairs are $ 6 / day each. I feel this fee could be waived if you are a guest of the hotel.

But that is nothing compared to the beautiful acomodations and friendly staff at the hotel.
Also the hotel is perfectly situated to the ferry to st barths which runs tues wed thurs
Definitely recomend.

Luxury on the Beaach

CBC is a perfect family getaway where the villas provide a great balance of luxury of a villa with the beach outside your door. The villas were well equipped and when we had an issue with the AC, the staff immediately called to get the contractor to remedy the situation. Everyone was helpful and the island is great for trying a variety of beaches especially Orient beach and Pinel Island. Excellent food especially in Grand Case and go to Super U for all your groceries as quality is very good.

Beautiful villas on the beach

We were led to believe that these villas had a community pool and a restaurant. There was neither which was a big disappointment, especially for our 12 year old son. Although the villa was beautiful we were not exactly located on the beach but one villa behind so our view was the roof of the villa in front.

Peaceful marina view

We stayed at marina view end unit 15. Spacious! You get 2 BR and 2 floors (21 steps up), private patios overlooking marina on both floors. We enjoyed the patio views and visitors (birds, iguanas). Gated parking, though tight. Five restaurants and pizza place a short walk. Dawn Beach is a short walk thru Mr. Busby's Beach Bar. We rented two beach chairs and umbrella combo for $12/day. The shore during our stay was piled with seaweed, and much also was suspended in the water. We could still get in for a swim in areas relatively weed-free. Though snorkeling can be done, the surf was too rough for us to try it. We did visit Islet Pinel and took Aqua Mania trips to Shoal Bay, Anguilla, and to Saba; these were enjoyable and worthwhile. You need a car (or hire a taxi) as there's no hotel pick-up. We also toured Philipsburg and Marigot; other than looking for beaches or restaurants, there didn't seem to be much outside of the capitals.

Beauties at the beach

Coral Beach Club looks just like all of the pictures. We stayed in the Oyster (villa 13) 3 bedroom beach view villa. The view was beautiful and every room was spacious. The pool is nice and about 4.5 to 5 feet deep. My bed was super soft and comfortable. Dawn beach had A LOT of seaweed in the water and on the beach, so much that we only used the beach on the resort one day. We had to rent umbrella's & chairs on the resort (that really should be included in the price of the resort). It's definitely best to have a car to get around on the island because everything is spaced out and taxi's can get expensive. We went to Mr. Busbys (the pizza and the dinner are awesome) and Canoa (get the Plantain Canoa) several times. They are both within walking distance along with a convenience store but they close at 10pm.

Great little place

This was our seecond stay at the Coral Beach Club and it will not be our last. We would be happy to live there year round. The whole property is beautiful. Since there are only 21 units, they can give you personal service other resorts don't. The only complaint we would have is that the beach had fairly bad seaweed isues - both on the sand and in the water - most of our 2 weeks there. However, I don't know if that is really the CBC's issue, as it was bad up and down the entire stretch of the beach.

Nice place to stay

Great place to stay but initial impression was not so good given we were hassled by the beach attendant next door to either pay for one of his chairs or put away the ones designated for the units(they are quite heavy btw). I am not sure what the financial relationship was there as it appeared the beach attendant was responsible for keeping the entire beach and it was the end of his shift- frankly the guy was a bit rude to us. Otherwise, the units are condos with full cooking equipment offering nice views with breakfast in your room in the morning. YOU NEED A CAR ON THIS ISLAND btw- cabs are non-existent on the French side. The beach was fair - we spent most of our time up in Grand Case (beautiful beach and great French food!) and down southwest (St. Louis) which was quite a scenic drive during the day.

St. Martin -- 1st Visit -- Coral Beach Club great!

Most of the time, it is a bit of a challenge to know, with certainty, just how good the place you book will be. Coral Beach Club: 2008-ish well built and well equipped condos. Whether the beach or harbor view, both excellent. From dimmable lighting to designer-ish kitchens to Nanawalls (look it up), the place is clearly for those of us used to staying in upscale hotels and resorts. We spent a week in March. Husband/Wife/College Daughter/College Daughter's friend. We would return. BTW: great food nearby, and in Grand Case.

This is a very nice hotel right on the beach. We had a 3 bedroom ocean view, no need to pay for oceanfront, it is almost as close. Only negative is you still pay for beach chairs for some reason. Overall St. Martin is a decent island, still lots of poverty and dingy areas I didn't expect to see on St. Martin.

Great location!

Great location. Quiet with quick access to the French Side. I highly recommend Coral Beach Club for the incredible facilitites, clean and very modern rooms and the unassuming location and access to Dawn Beach, Oyster Pond. While you are there, make sure you take a guided snorkel trip on Captain Alan's charter (also located at Oyster Pond). Not to be missed!
