Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Sharing ownership and name with the international kitchenware company, the resort capitalizes the "A" (CuisinArt) to highlight its emphasis of food and cooking. It contains its own 18,000-square-foot hydroponic vegetable greenhouse and an orchard, provides cooking demonstrations, offers cooking classes, and features exceptional fare at its two restaurants. Densely planted, the resort's grounds include fields of decorative grasses, flowering hedges, palms and beach greenery. Large blue pots hold plants and flowers in and around buildings.
Amenity highlights: The lobby frames a postcard vista. Looming in the foreground is a large swimming pool featuring an infinity edge surrounded by a terra-cotta tile sundeck, white umbrellas, and blue wrought-iron lounge chairs with butter-yellow cushions. Next comes a series of reflecting pools terraced down a gently sloping lawn and punctuated at the end by a broad white umbrella shading a beach bar. Beyond are the turquoise Caribbean Sea and the mountains of neighboring Saint Maarten/St. Martin. The beach is a two-mile stretch of sand fine as sugar and nearly as white rimming Rendezvous Bay. Lounge chairs and white umbrellas await sunbathers.
Insider tip: Because plantings are laid out in a "ribbon" system winding through the resort's 20 acres, strolling is rewarded by encounters with dramatic and fragrant lanes and passages.
