Sonesta Ocean Point Resort St. Maarten is announcing a
series of thoughtfully planned enhancements set to begin in Q2 2026,
representing a continued investment in the resort’s future while preserving the
relaxed, oceanfront experience guests value most.
Suite enhancements are slated to take place during Q2 2026,
with estimated completion by the end of the quarter. The updated suites will combine
a refined blend of contemporary Caribbean style with natural textures,
reinforcing Sonesta Ocean Point’s commitment to sophisticated comfort and a
strong sense of place.
Planned updates will include open-concept layouts designed
for improved flow and comfort; contemporary custom furnishings; warm wood and
stone finishes; enhanced ambient lighting and modern fixtures; dedicated lounge
seating areas; refined dining nooks suitable for in-room meals or work; curated
ocean-inspired artwork; and seamless indoor-outdoor connections that frame sweeping
Caribbean Sea views.
Lobby enhancements will include updates to the Front Desk
and Martin’s Lobby Bar, and will take place in September of 2026. Thoughtfully
designed to complement the resort’s quietly refined, adults-only atmosphere,
the improvements will be carefully phased and discreetly executed to ensure
minimal impact on the guest experience.
The refreshed public spaces will elevate both arrival and
social moments, and feature a cohesive design aesthetic aligned with the
updated suites. Natural textures, coastal tones, and muted decorative accessories will define the new look, while a reimagined Martin’s Lobby Bar will offer a comfortably
chic gathering space.
The redesigned Front Desk will introduce updated
furnishings, lighting, and a revamped layout to create a more intuitive,
welcoming, and seamless arrival experience.
“Sonesta Ocean Point has always been defined by thoughtful
design, authentic Caribbean character, and a deep respect for the guest
experience,” said Saro Spadaro, president and CEO of The Maho Group.
“These enhancements reflect a meaningful investment in our
future while preserving the relaxed island elegance our guests value today. We
take great pride in continuously investing in our product, our people, and our
long-term vision, and we look forward to sharing this next chapter with our
guests.”
