Despite there being an on-site casino, the Westin at Dawn Beach is probably the most kid-friendly hotel on the island. Not only does the Westin boast the nicest pool in St. Martin, but it has a great kids' club, as well as several restaurants with some kid-friendly options. The Westin Kids' Club, for ages four to 12, features on-site arts and crafts activities, as well as day trips around the island. The concierge can arrange babysitting services.
By far the biggest resort in St. Maarten, this 534-room behemoth is a veritable village with two towers, two pools, three restaurants, four tennis courts, the island's largest casino, direct beach access, and a 40-boutique shopping center. A great choice for families, it features a kids' program for children four to 12, with activities such as bingo, sandcastle building, and arts and crafts. But older kids will have plenty to do, as well; the hotel sets up pool volleyball, ping pong tables, and non-motorized water sports for guests.
