Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: This St Maarten resort attracts couples and families seeking easy access to Orient Beach's European ambience of lounge chairs and colored umbrellas arranged in geometric patterns, as well as to watersports and to an adjoining open-air shopping/dining center.
Amenity highlights: The resort features a 18.3-meter-long (60-foot-long) kidney-shape pool surrounded by thatched shades and thickly cushioned lounge chairs. From the pool, a 46-meter-long (50-yard-long) path leads across a narrow parking lot to Orient Bay Beach, a 2.4-km (1.5-mile) crescent of powdery sand on the Atlantic Ocean. Beach vendors offer a variety of watersports, and the resort provides complimentary use of snorkeling gear. A beachfront restaurant supplies complimentary use of beach chairs to resort guests.
Insider tip: Unable to compete with the allure of the beach and the pool, the resort's rooftop sundeck goes largely unnoticed during the day. But it's a popular destination after dark, when guests take drinks from the bar, climb the steps, lie back in lounge chairs, and gaze at stars.
Rooms
This St Maarten resort offer 42 guestrooms in two buildings of two stories (no elevators) painted in bright pastels and decorated in fretwork of contrasting colors. Rooms feature ground-floor verandas or second-floor balconies with teak lounge chairs and cocktail tables. They contain kitchenettes with two-burner rangetops, microwave ovens, compact refrigerators, toasters, coffeemakers, dishes, and glasses.
Ceiling fans offer a cooling alternative to rooms' air conditioning. Telephones include data ports for dial-up Internet access. Molasses-colored furniture with blond highlights combines raffia and wicker for a colonial-tropical look. Rocking chairs supply relaxation, and terra-cotta-tile floors furnish bare-foot ease.
Two color schemes, red-and-scarlet and green-and-yellow, contribute contemporary touches with coordinated cushions, throw pillow, drapes, and lamp shades. Botanical prints decorate pastel walls. Bathrooms with green-tile vanities feature separate tubs and stall showers. Smoking is permitted in all rooms.

Recreation
From the resort's pool deck, a 46-meter-long (50-yard-long) stone path leads across a narrow parking lot to Orient Bay Beach, a 2.4-km (1.5-mile) crescent of powdery sand on the Atlantic Ocean that's one of the island's principal windsurfing spots and includes a clothing-optional section a mile from Alamanda Resort. Vendors along the beach offer a wide range of other watersports as well. Open-air restaurants are spaced along the beach, and the nearest to Alamanda Resort provides complimentary use of lounge chairs to resort guests. Guests can also rent lounge chairs and umbrellas up and down the beach.
For freshwater swimming, the resort offers a 18-meter-long (60-foot-long) kidney-shape pool bordered by hedges and surrounded by a sundeck furnished with thatched shades and thickly cushioned lounge chairs.
