Divi Little Bay Beach Resort
Information & Amenities
Hotel Information: Families and couples choose this south-coast resort for its proximity to Philipsburg's duty-free shopping, its casual ambience (exemplified by an open-air reception counter), and to enjoy the sun and sea.
Amenity highlights: A 274-meter (300-yard) beach extends along Little Bay on the Caribbean Sea, with a wide variety of watersports, including snorkeling and scuba diving (surcharges). Three pools provide freshwater swimming. A kidney-shaped pool measures 18 meter (60 feet) long and offers a bay view. A 7.6-meter-long (25-foot-long) "romance" pool with an infinity edge facing the open sea lies at the end of an artificial stream. A 36.5-meter-long (120-foot-long) family complex includes a children's section.
Insider tip: The tip of the peninsula occupied by the resort features the ruins of Fort Amsterdam, the colonial-era structure that once helped protect the Dutch side of the island. The fort lies atop a flat-top hill accessible by a steep 137-meter (150-yard) path.
