From the initial prompt response from the owner of this beautiful condo, we were impressed. Joe provided advice regarding a car rental, phone service, Covid-19 required testing, restaurants, and general information that was very helpful. The staff at The Cliff were friendly and focused on insuring we felt comfortable and they obviously take alot of pride in working at this lovely resort.
This is a first class property entered through a security gate and in a great location on the Dutch side of Sint Maarten. There are amenities galore, with a large 8 ft. deep indoor pool and a grand oceanside outdoor pool, tennis courts, a very well equipped fitness center, an exquisitely decorated open air lobby with a player piano, luxurious seating inside and outside seating that provides amazing ocean views and ambient lighting for that romantic evening or a place to gather with friends. The landscaping is beautiful as well. Although ocean side, this time of year, there was no beach frontage as the water came right up to the edge of the property, leaving lovely rock cliffs for viewing but no beach. With such an amazing pool, we were happy with the comfortable lounge chairs with umbrellas and didn't mind. We ventured out to nearby beaches such as Maho, Mullet, and Simpson Bay but ended up spending more time at the Cliff. We did drive to the French side of the island and around Phillipsburg, and we found lots of good restaurants, bakeries, beaches, and friendly locals. We were happy to be in a beautiful condo with a balcony overlooking the ocean and spent more time on the property than we would have typically done in the past. The king size bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you can think of, the furnishings were nice, we had beach towels, beach chairs, anything we could have needed was there. We really felt at home. Joe has thought of everything to insure his guests are happy and we were very happy. Wishing we could have stayed longer.
