Top hotels in Philipsburg
Divi Little Bay Beach Resort
This resort is situated in a beautiful location. The beach is AMAZING. Unfortunately, the resort does not offer a lot of structured activities, so if that's what you're looking for, this may not be the place for you. The buffet restaurant was just okay, but the al fresco dining options are good. ...

Oceans at Divi Little Bay
Probably need more kids friendly activities since it is a family friendly resort. There is no kids pool, or kids activities. Simple sprinkler would help. The resort is understaffed, staff need to be more proactive. They need better systems in placed to improve customer service.

The Paradise Inn
The room was clean, comfortable, adequate. The hotel itself is Ideally located, specifically if you rent a car. Everything from that point is 10 to 12 minutes drive, thus if you're a walker 👍
