Belair Beach Hotel
Great place to stay. Probably the best people on the island. Friendly, fun and laid back. The beach is beautiful and not rocky. Other than sporadic hot water shortages it was one of the best places I’ve stayed in a long time. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Sint Maarten. :)

Hilton Vacation Club Flamingo Beach St. Maarten
It's great value, it's not "Hilton-Hilton", but the private beach is awesome. Perfect if you are on a budget or not staying to much in the hotel, like visiting St Barts or Anguilla. There is dive center and catamaran boat trips so very convienient
