My place is close to restaurants and dining, the beach, family-friendly activities, public transport, and nightlife. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, families (with kids), and big groups. The space The Azure occupies a building that was built in the 1960's on the most beautiful beach in St. Martin/St. Maarten. We renovated the building in 2004 and cleared part of it to make space for a charming courtyard complete with its own tortoise habitat. We have maintained the old Caribbean charm of the building and decorated it with our own original paintings. The orientation of Simpson Bay is South and buffeted by the mountains. That means that on most days the water is calmer than other beaches due to it running parallel to the trade winds which blow East to West. There is also plenty to see underwater, to the East and West of the bay there are reefs populated with many colorful fish. Simpson Bay Village is one of the most vibrant spot on the island for entertainment, nightlife, and dining. There are other great places to visit and our central location makes them all easily accessible. Guest access There is a guest patio for all guest to enjoy with tables, chairs, a gas bbq and outdoor shower. Unlike other hotels, we leave our lounge chairs on the beach all night so you can relax under the stars. Other things to note Each room is equipped with a kitchenette, private bathroom, housekeeping beach and bath towels, daily or every other day (when it is slow) , satellite tv with premium movie channels, free hi speed wifi (even on the beach) and free international calls!
