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.

The best of what I expectd. Bought a timeshare in 1987 and always enjoyed it with stays there and exchanges. After selling it pre covid just wanted to go back to enjoy it for the last time. At age 82 just doing my last trip to this Island and your resort

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!

Stayed January 2026.

Hotel is old, but it makes up for it with a perfect beach, view and staff.

Everything works perfectly. It’s just dated.

Great size room. Great views. Beds are good.

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.

Would recommend for anyone who’s not snobby.

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.

A swimming pool jet didnt have a cover where the jets were. I put my hand on that jet and almost took my fingers off. I reported it, and the staff didnt fix until several other guests I encourage to report it. The staff didnt show enough urgency to a dangerous situation, I just felt using your facilities the staff wasnt coopertive to my report of a unsafe condition.

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.

We travel a lot and we agreed this was one of our favorite vacations ever. The apartment was comfortable, we loved the balcony, the staff was so accommodating, the restaurant was good, the on-site entertainment was enjoyable, the beach is one of the best we’ve ever been on anywhere (and the fact beach chairs are assigned for the week is convenient and eliminates a lot of hassle). Did wish the water for showers and washing dishes was warmer - it doesn’t get hot enough to wash dishes properly. And while comfortable, the apartments very much need to be updated.

Belair has two bedroom condos that all have ocean views and is on a terrific beach. The rooms are outdated but clean. The restaurant is just OK but we ended up going next door to Divi to eat or drove to other places. This is a great place to stay if you want a great beach, nice staff, safety and ocean view rooms but don't care about extra luxury. Also snorkeling out to the underwater sculpture garden from the beach was a plus!

I've stayed here multiple times and although it is an older hotel, I enjoy the restaurant, beach and the mini mart. It is nice that you can order food and drink from the mini mart before you go and they will stock your room before you arrive. Also, it is conveniently located next to another hotel with restaurants, and another market store as well as some clothing stores. The HUGE disappointment was the WiFi and internet. It buffers most of the time and although smart TV's were purchased, the streaming speed isn't fast enough to use services such as Netflix. You can't stream them on your phone for the same reason. I have never been anywhere where is was that bad It was incredibly frustrating.

My first trip to the island was made so personal. My wife and I celebrated our 3 year delayed honeymoon (COVID) by going to the Bel Air. We wanted a quiet place to enjoy the island and this place provided that. Most of our trip we felt like we had a private beach and even restaurants were not crowded. The staff was helpful and so friendly. After a day of adventures I looked forward to sharing my experiences with them. They would always add and suggest new things to further our short time there. Miss Patsy and Malcolm became like family to us. I hope to come back with our boys one day to share more memories with our family at home and our family in SXM. I can’t say enough about how good my stay was.

My boyfriend and I had a GREAT time.
The room was on the ground floor as we had hoped and we walked right out onto the beach from our patio.
The view was gorgeous and all of the staff were pleasant and welcoming.
We shopped at the hotel convenience store which had reasonable prices and a good selection for a small shop. We bought breakfast items and snacks for the full sized kitchen and had most of our dinners at the onsite restaurant which was nice and the food tasty.
The beach was beautiful and the weather amazing !! Cant wait to go back !!

I liked the size of the room. Did not like the dated furniture. AC did not work and was very noisy. Charged more at the gingerbread cafe after I had signed the receipt. Found this out at checkout after waiting for the front desk attendant (not 24hours). Transportation that hotel arranged was late. Had to check out towels for the beach. Did not offer any beach equipment (floats, paddle boards, etc). Every item in room was itemized and priced stating we would be charged if anything was missing. Went to take shower and only had cold water. After complaining seems like all they had to do was turn it on to are room. Very disappointing not worth the money. Stay at the hotel next door seemed much nicer.

Great view of Caribbean. The room was straight out of the 70’s. I felt like I stepped back in time. It should not be considered a suite. Kathryn at the front desk did her best, but the antique room and amenities didn’t cut it for me. This should be a $100/ night room not $350. All of the people that work there were fantastic.

Great mini-mart. Front desk very helpful and pleasant. Views, views, views. Calm, warm ocean. Unfortunately, we were GIVEN masks when we first arrived (which is more than fine and a great idea) but then told that they were $10 each. We didn't want to be rude so we paid. I later had a discussion with that individual about the approach and she recognized that it wasn't the best. That being said, a truly welcoming employee. The Monday bar-B-Q not particularly good compared to the one there when I went in 2012. The food can't be compared. The hotel is a great, no frills, super clean place to stay with comfortable, nice sized suites. The hotel next door also had a nice mini-mart and multiple restaurants and just a couple of minutes walk away. Having both was perfect. Belair is dated but kept up very well. I'd go again in a heartbeat.

Cost $7500 Canadian for two weeks.

At that price we expect five star standards. But instead we found a room that was about forty years out of date. It is on a nice beach. The staff were great. It has a Caribbean rustic restaurant with lower standards of service than we get at a Canadian Best Western. Could still enjoy the stay but there was no oven in the suite. Frying pan was dented and not non-stick. The owners seem reluctant to offer basic quality but are pushing prices to the level where we certainly will not go there again. exhorbitantly overpriced. Divi next door is pricy but better value.
