I would have given this place 4 stars but upon arrival I was informed that there is a $30 per person per night fee, that turned out to be an additional $300. When I booked the room that fee was not indicated on the booking or the hotels.com app. I think I probably would have booked something else if I was aware of the fee.
Now aside from that major inconvenience the hotel is clean but dated, the pictures are accurate. It is nice to have a full apt with a kitchen especially when traveling with kids. Beach chairs are reserved for you and the beach was never crowded. There are no water sports on the beach so we did end up going to a couple of other beaches for that.
The staff is friendly and helpful our housekeeper was amazing even washed our dirty dishes every day. There are a few restaurants within walking distance outside of that I would suggest a car rental, taxis were $9 per person and not based on distance. There was a weird odor in one of our bathrooms, but other than that if you’re ok with dated decor the rooms are fine. The best feature of the room is the huge balcony and amazing view there are floor to ceiling windows with a table and lounge chair. We enjoyed listening to the waves every night.

Loved the ground level room right off the beach, with foot wash and large private veranda.

Kitchen amenities were great, they provide all the basic necessities (eg., sponge, dish soap, towels, beach towels, dinnerware, etc…).

You're steps away from a nice sandy beach, a few waves getting in and out but can float around if you like. They have assigned beach chairs, you tell them what area you want and they'll put your room number on some that are available.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially at the little Mini Mart and had everything you would need. We never ate at the restaurant, went next door to Divi, they have several options.
The room's are outdated but found everything was clean enough, we pick a place based on the beach not the room.

Bellaire Beach Hotel won my heart on my last week travels to St Maarten. The staff was very helpful and made you feel at home. The property is upkept, clean and spacious rooms with everything at your fingertips. Theres a restaurant/cafe , excursions office, a mini market , fitness room, swimming pool on a deck next to the ocean, nook lounge space with a bookshelf. The hotel also offers special events for guest to participate in from, sunrise yoga to an all you can eat sunset bbq with a live band and steel pans! I had an ocean view suite that faced the island of Saba, absolutely breathtaking views and ambiance. I would highly recommend the accommodations! i will be returning.

Thank you Bellaire Beach Hotel for a stellar experience!

Two bedroom 2 bath full kitchen on the beach. Beautiful views. We rented a car and it was easy to get around once you got used to it. Close to grocery store, Zipline, and town. Traffic is variable but so what you are on island time! Some staff were very friendly others not so much. Clean, a little run down but didn’t bother us. Laundry available with quarters. Umbrellas and chairs complementary. Cabs available and reasonable. French pastries great! You can even order from market on site. Food was good at the gingerbread cafe. Would come again for sure with more people!

The Belair Beach hotel was a nice accommodation for our 4 night stay. The beach on the property is beautiful and always had chairs available. It is an older hotel so no bells and whistles, but the staff were all very friendly, the bar/restaurant was very good and has happy hour deals daily! The rooms are clean and spacious. The building itself could use updating for curb appeal but we still loved it and would consider staying here again.

The view is to die for. When you first walk in you have to head down the hall to the view of a lifetime. The complex is an older condo building and sure it can use a new modern update but it is decent and has pretty well everything you need. I mean how much time do you want to stay inside. The staff there are super friendly. They make you feel very welcomed and safe. I would definitely go back

We stayed here for a few days before Anguilla. The property is dated but very clean. The restaurant is very good with fair prices. I will stay here again hopefully the living quarters will be updated soon. The beach is nice and being able to walk to the other resort was a plus, more restaurants.

Hotel is right on the beach which has clean white sand. Great swimming area. Tons of loungers and chairs with umbrellas. All rooms are beachfront with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, a full kitchen, large living room, and have a large deck which overlooks the beach and Little Bay. Grounds are imaculate and all staff members were pleasant and helpful. The small cafe has probably the best food with the cheapest prices in the whole area. To top it off there is a small store in the hotel which carries absolutely everything with great prices. Overall we would recommend this hotel 100% and will definitely return!

Had a great stay/experience at the Belair Beach Hotel. Rooms were big and kitchen was stocked with plates and silverware. Balcony view was AMAZING! Chairs and table were included on the balcony. Air conditioning was excellent as was shower water pressure and temps. Beach was one of the best on the island. Clean, free of sargassum, and very private. Early mornings and late afternoons = total private beach. Waves were mild. Pool is small and only one restaurant on premise...convenient store was tiny but packed with all essentials at fair pricing. No fitness center (bummer!). Secured entry and parking. Overall, this is really a hidden gem for those looking for a post card beach with clear turquoise water. 3 minute drive to Phillipsburg. Do not let the exterior and grounds fool you (Not as modern as others, but still an overall amazing location.) Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends.

Amazing location and exceptionally clean property. We had daily housekeeping, which was very helpful. The hotel is dated, but everything worked well. The staff were consistently friendly, kind, and helpful. The beach is truly one of the best on the island—no seaweed, calm water, and far better conditions than the other three beaches we visited. Plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas, which are included and assigned to your room upon arrival. Aside from the sound of the waves, the property is very quiet. We did go to the restaurants at the next door resort which was a nice option. We would absolutely stay at this hotel again!

For what it’s worth, the hotel is conveniently located in little bay so beach is nice, which is a plus. However, there’s nothing particularly exciting about the hotel itself. The staff is friendly and helpful, working with what they have, but the hotel is extremely outdated. Despite the staff’s best efforts, the rooms didn’t feel very clean, even though they were clean. This is because of the overall datedness of the hotel. There’s no shampoo or conditioner in the rooms. Mosquitos buzzing around. Probably won’t stay there again but I’ve heard that some rooms are renovated so may be worth asking the staff if you can be put into one of those lol

The view from the balcony was a plus. The stay overall at this resort was absolutely amazing. The only thing that needs to be updated possibly is the furniture. It’s retro 70s but it’s really clean and neat. They have everything you need. The staff was wonderful. The gingerbread Café was really good. They may need to update and patch their driveway but other than that, this was a perfect stay. They have a car rental company on site along with a small market and plenty of activities to do if you don’t wanna leave the resort. It’s kid, friendly, and having your family here would make it all the better. You can see the cruise ships come in and out you can see people yachting on the water. The beach here is 24 hours and yes, you can bring your own alcohol. The mosquitoes will eat you up, so make sure that you protect yourself. You may experience a GEICO or two in your room, but it’s really not a big deal. Maintenance will come and clean them up 😊

This may not be the most elegant hotel on the island, but in my opinion it is the best. The food at the Gingerbread Cafe rivals any top class restaurant and the mini-mart, albeit small, has anything that you may want. If they don't they will get if for you. Also, you can fill out a grocery list and they will stock your room with those items so that they are there when you arrive. All rooms have two bedrooms and bathrooms. Two large couches in the living area, one being a sleeper. A small kitchen but with anything that you would need if you decided to cook. Dining table with 4 chairs. There is a TV in both bedrooms and the living room. Each unit has a very large porch overlooking the beach and the ocean. Great housekeeping service everyday. The staff are exceptional. It is a couple of minutes walk on a pathway by the beach to the hotel next door if you choose to eat at the restaurants there, but with the Gingerbread Cafe available, there really is not a need. I do have to admit that if you are a pool person, theirs is very small, but it isn't really needed with the ocean right there. The price is great and you should really try out this hidden gem.

Great staff except for the one beach lounger/towel attendant (not Ricardo he was good). The person left before 4 pm and gave us towels but asked us to sit on any empty loungers that were assigned to others. Then because he did not do his job properly we had the back row the next day as well as the front row was assigned before we came down. Other than this minor issue we had a great stay. Staff went above and beyond to keep our luggage after check out. Everyone smiling and helpful. Rooms are not updated but are clean and views are great with large balconies. Would recommend a vehicle in this location as restaurants are not close other than Gingerbread and the restaurants at Little Divi. No pizza restaurants would deliver except Dominoes. Short drive to Philipsburg. Great beach at this location!

Cleaning staff (3rd floor), gentleman at front desk and security guard (the one with 2 kids who left for Holland) are standouts within a great team.

Due to age and dampness it affected my allergies. That was the only negative. Beach was gorgeous. I was disappointed I could not get a refund for one night since I had already been stranded 4 nights prior to coming here. I reserved 3 nights initially and later airlines were able to move my flight up a day so we took it but could not get the one night stay refunded. Under the severe circumstances I was not pleased an exception was not made to refund the night.

Highlights of our stay were view from the balcony and the beach.There is a short hike to Fort Amsterdam with nice views.Staff was pleasant but not much service (check in/out).Beach chairs are assigned and has to be occupied by 10am,otherwise it’s reassigned.Beach towel is only given/exchanged once a day (pouring rain or not),8-5.Beach is nice size,semiprivate,at the doorstep.Sadly,there is trash that people leave behind and staff don’t seem to clean.Common areas look dirty.I was going to write off room condition to extremely dated but was actually dirty on top of it.All rooms are nice size:2 bedroom,2 bathroom suites,with kitchen,living and balcony facing the beach.Bedrooms were poorly painted over dirt,no windows unless you want to see & be seen by other occupants(they face the walkway).Furniture crooked and dusty,kept clothes in suitcase.Bathrooms had someone’s hair on walls & bathtub.Strange splash marks by & on toilet.Living & dining areas were decent.Didn’t use the kitchen,but utensils there didn’t look clean.Spent most of our time on the balcony,slept in bed overnight (sheets appeared to be clean).If it wasn’t for balcony and beach,I wouldn’t have stayed there.Food options are limited to one mediocre cafe that serves breakfast,lunch & dinner.Restaurants in the adjacent resort weren’t great either (except a taco spot).Plenty of food options within short drive.Pool gave motel vibes,didn't use.Great potential but everything needs major upgrade.Will not be back until then.
