Nice place, clean and friendly. Gated entry meant the beach was somewhat private. Parking was easy, some of our friends took a cab, and they let them out at the check-in. Great place, highly suggested for anyone wanting a peaceful beach day.

Zero stars for Viator

Margaret_R, Aug 2026
Viator misrepresented what was included at the resort and then when questioned even mentioned my handicapped “child” who a 25 year old adult with down syndrome. Did the resort attempt to make it better yes - but to be clear Viator is selling you a ticket to a FREE beach here. No pool is included. No hotel internet is included. One and done for me and Viator.

Great snorkeling beach

Christopher_G, Aug 2026
Definitely a great option from the cruise port - 10 min taxi ride ($5 per person each way). The beach is clean, beautiful and was not too crowded despite having two ships in port. If you snorkel, this is a perfect option. There is an underwater sculpture garden 100 yards offshore and a sunken helicopter about 150 yards out. The entire left side of the beach is rife with sealife and the water is crystal clear. If you go, checking for the daily pass is NOT at the hotel. It's down on the left at the second roundabout. They have a bar and restaurant on site as well. Chairs and an umbrella were included in the price

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Hello Christopher, Sounds like you made the most of your beach day! The underwater sculpture garden and clear waters make this a favorite spot for exploring beneath the surface, and it’s great to hear you found it easy to get there from the cruise port. We’re glad the beach, facilities, and included chairs and umbrella made for a relaxing day.

Beautiful spot water was perfect.

Grace_H, Aug 2026
Beach and area could use a cleaning, rescue boat was broken so no water sports except snorkeling was available with the pass. Great snorkeling spot. No wifi available if you are on a beach pass, there isn’t even free wifi in the lobby.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Hello Grace, We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the snorkeling, but we’re sorry some of the other aspects of your beach day fell short. We do want to clarify that the rescue boat is not an included amenity with our beach day package. As for Wi-Fi, that is a resort amenity and unfortunately isn’t something we control. We appreciate you sharing your feedback on the areas that impacted your experience.

Beautiful beach and water

michael_k, May 2026
The beach and water are beautiful. We had a lovely delicious lunch at our beach chairs. The service was excellent. They set up the umbrella and chairs where we wanted them

Response from Host, May 2026

Hello Michael, Thank you for your review. We’re delighted you had such a relaxing day and enjoyed the beautiful beach, great service, and comfortable setup. We truly appreciate your kind words!

Great Family Beach Day!

Janice_D, Apr 2026
It was a great beach for families. Less hassle to know you will get umbrellas. & lounge chairs which were needed for children. Beautiful beach! Food choices were ok. The Mexican restaurant offered better choices. Overall a great day visit for our large group.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hello Janice, Thank you! Happy to hear your group had a great family beach day and found everything comfortable and convenient. We appreciate your feedback on the food selection as well.

Love the beach

Alan_P, Apr 2026
Great beach day with the family, it was a great location with smaller crowds than many other beaches

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hello Alan, Thank you for sharing your experience. Happy to hear you enjoyed the location and the more peaceful atmosphere. We hope to welcome you back again!

Great beach location

Kate_S, Apr 2026
If you’re not going to use the beach snorkel boogie board floaty fun stuff then simply head to the Divii Little Bay beach and rent directly from the resort for $5 a beach chair.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hello Kate, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re happy to hear you liked the beach itself. Our package is intended to provide a more inclusive and hassle-free experience, though we understand it may not be the best fit for everyone.

Divi bay beach resort - day pass.

Michael_C, Mar 2026
Excellent beach and resort. Only negative is waiting for food order, we cancelled order after an hour wait at beachfront eatery. This was end of March so crowds may have been more due to spring breaks. Not good snorkel area but beach is clean and not as crowded as beach near cruise port. Good value for that we paid includes umbrella and 2 beach chairs. Taxi service quick and $5 per person. No problem getting back to port as taxis waiting at drop-off area at hotel.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hello Michael, We appreciate your feedback! Glad to hear you enjoyed the clean beach, resort, and overall value. It’s great that the umbrellas, chairs, and taxi service made your day easy and relaxing. Hope to welcome you again soon!

Beach day a Divi Beach

Paul_M, Mar 2026
Beautiful beach with chairs and umbrella. A paddle board was supposed to be included for one hour but was no longer included.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hello Paul, Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful beach and the comfort of our chairs and umbrellas. We hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxing beach day!

Hello Jay, We truly appreciate your feedback! So glad you enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and peaceful beach setting. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Rip off at Divi

Elliot_W, Mar 2026
This is a rip off beware! They only have a small amount of chairs and umbrellas and when we arrived all gone no refunds and only hotel guests get chairs at the beach. If you book this you get last row of available!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hello Elliot, Thank you for your feedback. We want to clarify that all of our guests do have access to the beach chairs and umbrellas, as these are included in the price of the trip. The chairs and umbrellas are set up in advance, which means that placement works on a “first come, first served” basis. Guests who arrive earlier may get the front-row spots, while those arriving later will be placed in other rows. We don’t control the exact positioning, but we always ensure that every guest on our trip has a chair and umbrella available.

Don't waste your money

Judy_L, Feb 2026
Thought we were buying a package to include the pool. Got there and that was not right. Advertised pool and Beach Beach umbrellas were broken and had sand all over and it was so slow getting a guy to get us a chair. Waited in the restaurant 30 minutes for a grilled cheese sandwich and the cheese wasn't even melted. Would not suggest this place to anybody

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hello Judy, We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Guest satisfaction is very important to us, and we truly value your feedback. The concerns you’ve shared will be reviewed to help improve the overall experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future for a much better visit!

Great day at beach

TeresaM, Feb 2026
What a nice beach for affordable price. Great amenities. We got the use of an umbrella and two beach chairs

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Hello Teresa, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful beach and included amenities. Looking forward to hosting you again soon!

Divi Beach Day

Richard_K, Feb 2026
Very nice day- staff at resort were professional and friendly and beach was perfect. The only minor negative was very slow service getting lunch, but they had a substantial influx of cruise ship guests

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Hello Richard, Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful beach and found our staff friendly and professional. We appreciate your understanding regarding the lunch service and hope to welcome you back for another relaxing beach day.

We did not need to...

Adrian_J, Feb 2026
We did not need to prebook. It would have been cheaper to just pay at the resort. There was no 4or5g and Internet was only available to residents of the resort. If you want quiet this resort was OK but we went to big bay the next day which was infinitely better.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Hello Adrian, Thank you for your feedback. Prebooking is always advised as we cannot predict when experiences will fill up, and don’t want you to miss out. Unfortunately, mobile network coverage is dependent on service providers and outside of our control, and this excursion is designed to offer a beach day experience at the resort so unfortunately Wi-Fi is not included. We appreciate you visiting and sharing your experience.

Great time!

Mike_J, Feb 2025
Great beach. Great location. Purchased a day pass during our cruise and it was worth it. Nice and relaxing. Only 10 minutes from the cruise port.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Hi Mike, Thank you for choosing us, we really appreciate it. We are delighted that your experience was great and are hoping to see you soon for another trip with us!

Beautiful Beach - Short Taxi Ride

jlawson99a, Feb 2025
This is an excellent beach - much better than you normally see on cruise ship tours in the Caribbean. The day we were there it was NOT overcrowded.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Hello there, Thank you for your review, we are glad that you enjoyed your Beach day and that it was not overcrowded for you! Hoping to see you again soon!

Beach and pool day at Divi Little Bay

Amelia_B, Feb 2025
We had an amazing time! The beach and pool were beautiful and the service was outstanding! I wanted to get my bag off the cruise ship and stay here the rest of our trip!!

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Hi Amelia, We appreciate your wonderful review! We’re happy to hear you had an amazing time. We’d love to welcome you back anytime – hopefully for the rest of your trip next time!

Resort Pass Scam, DO NOT BOOK

Phillip_C, Dec 2024
This was a complete scam, you can go to the resort and rent a chair and umbrella for a $5 fee for each. My family of 3 paid for 3 passes for a total of $120, the biggest waste of our money. Viator should not list this as a resort pass or excursion, or should be more transparent about what this is. We will not be using Viator ever again after the experience after being customers for many years.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Hi Philip, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. To clarify, the resort pass includes more than just a chair and umbrella. It also offers access to snorkel gear like flippers, masks, and flotation belts, along with an hour of use for a kayak or paddleboard. We apologize if this wasn’t clearly communicated beforehand. We’ll make sure to improve how this information is presented and ensure it’s highlighted again during check-in for the beach day. Your input is valuable, and we’ll use it to enhance our service moving forward.

Great beach but activity too expensive

Genevieve_T, Dec 2024
Nice beach. It's good to spend a day on this resort but it's expensive for the rental of chairs and umbrellas. You have to buy your lunch, it's not included in the price. So, I dont know if I would recommand this activity.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Hi Genevieve, Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We're glad you enjoyed the beach and had a pleasant day at the resort. While we understand that the cost may feel high, the price does include not only the rental of beach chairs and umbrellas but also one hour of paddleboarding or kayaking and access to snorkel gear. We hope you had the chance to take advantage of these additional activities during your visit! We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for more relaxing and adventurous moments in the future.

Beautiful beach !...

Paola_A, Apr 2024
Beautiful beach ! Amazing!! Would donit again, pool is not included. The beach is perfect for kids!!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hi Paula, Thrilled you had a great time! Looking forward to welcoming you back for another amazing day by the shore!

Exactly as described.

Walter_M, Mar 2024
Beautiful beach. Nice staff. Filling space as required by website so I can submit this review. This survey website is frustrating and nonsense. Gives viator a bad name.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hi Walter, We're so glad you had an enjoyable time at the beach. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We really appreciate it and hope to welcome you back again soon!

St. Maarten Delight

Arleen_Z, Feb 2024
The beach here was beautiful and not at all crowded. The resorts staff were very friendly and helpful. My only regret was that we couldn't have stayed longer, as our ship had an early departure from St. Maarten.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hi Arleen, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We understand that your stay was cut short due to your ship's early departure from St. Maarten, but we hope that the memories you made with us will last a lifetime. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future for a longer stay so that we can provide you with an even more memorable experience.

Stay away not what’s described in tour!

James_S, Jan 2024
DO NOT BOOK THIS. First of all the beach you can go to it’s a public beach. You can pay for chairs and umbrella way under the $80. It says you can use the resorts pools but we were told no and can only use the beach. It is false advertising. The description says what’s all included they are so dishonest!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hi James, Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent experience. We apologize for the inconvenience and confusion caused by the discrepancies between the description provided on Viator and the actual experience you encountered. We take your concerns seriously and are actively working to rectify the situation. We have initiated the necessary steps to address the altered description and ensure that it accurately reflects the trip's details. Additionally, we have processed a full refund to compensate for any inconvenience or dissatisfaction you may have encountered. We deeply value your trust and appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention. Please contact us directly if there is anything else we can do to make it right. Thank you for your understanding and allowing us to make things right.

Not worth the money

Carla_T, Jan 2024
I feel that this was really a ripoff. I paid $43.00 for something that should have cost $15.00. I entered the hotel.through the front lobby. I told them that I had a day pass and they told me to see the activities person on the beach. There was no such person. As I passed several over full garbage cans with swarming flies, I found an empty beach chair with umbrella. Beach was nice enough. I though there would be bar service.but you had to take care of that yourself. Next time I'll know better.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hi Carla, We are truly sorry to hear about your recent experience and understand your frustration. It is regrettable that the front desk was not more helpful in directing you to our Watersport/Dive shop near the dock, which can indeed be tricky to find for our newcomers. The issue with the garbage bins you've noted have been addressed immediately with the hotel to ensure the environment remains pleasant and inviting at all times. Please allow us the chance to make things right. Your feedback is invaluable, and we thank you for taking the time to share them. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the service and experience you deserve.

Hi John, Thanks for the shoutout! Delighted to be your go-to spot with no check-in hiccups and budget-friendly vibes. We look forward to welcoming you back many more times.

An Amazingly Peaceful Beach Day

Maureen_H, Jun 2023
It was a lovely and peaceful beach….the water was beautiful. We really enjoyed ourselves! The price of the package was fantastic, a chair, an umbrella, the use of snorkeling equipment and paddle boards, all for $40 pp. I went to this beach off a cruise in March and June of this year. Both experiences were fantastic!!! I can’t wait to return next year!

First of all, the booking...

Gabrielle_T, Mar 2023
First of all, the booking process was super easy, next the description was accurate. I called Divi and they were friendly and answered all my questions. From beginning to end the day was amazing, hassle free and just what we wanted.

Compare your options and check how many ships in port your day

IlyaDagenais, Dec 2022
Well first off, bring a towel! My fault as I missed that in the exclusions and there are none available at the resort for Viator guests. We had 6 ships in port so took over 45mins to get a taxi to the resort. Once we arrived it took almost an hour to get the lounge chairs and another 30mins to get an umbrella…staff were friendly and accommodating as much as they could be but was basically lord of the flies trying to get your lounge chair! Ocean was perfect with sandy shores and nice food and bar available. No wifi for Viator guests tho. My opinion…compare the costs to onboard excursions that have guaranteed vehicles available for transportation to beach and chairs lined up and ready. For family of 5 at $50 in taxi rides and all the waiting around I am thinking I didn’t save much for the aggravation. Again my opinion…maybe on a less busy day it would have been better.
