Overview

What distinguishes Divi Little Bay from other St. Maarten all-inclusives is its private peninsula setting — you have water on both sides of the property, with Little Bay's calmer waters on one side and Great Bay on the other. The resort's 308 rooms split between standard units and the premium Oceans tier, which adds the MIX AT OCEANS rooftop lounge, premium all-inclusive access, and dedicated service touches. For guests who want that upgrade path within a single property, it's a real distinction.

The resort suits families with kids under 12, couples who want both beach time and easy access to Philipsburg's shopping and casinos (a 15-minute walk), and anyone interested in the novel PureRoc lava-rock dining concept. Guests looking for an adults-only experience, or a highly isolated resort removed from town, should look elsewhere — this property is family-oriented and close to the island's commercial hub.

The honest drawback: refurbishment. Buildings A and B and the beachfront guestrooms were scheduled for renovation June–December 2025. If you're booking and those rooms have been refreshed, they'll be in good shape. If not, ask specifically which buildings are post-renovation before confirming. The resort also notes limited availability for late check-outs at 10am, which causes friction when flights depart in the afternoon.

Practically: 308 rooms, 7 miles from Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM), about 10–15 minutes. The all-inclusive package covers all meals, unlimited domestic drinks, non-motorized water sports, fitness center, Wi-Fi, and kids' club. The Oceans premium tier costs more but unlocks the rooftop lounge and additional perks. Three pools, including a multi-tiered pool with swim-up bar and an infinity pool, plus direct beach access.

Pros

  • +Private peninsula setting gives the resort a more isolated feel than typical Philipsburg properties, while remaining walking distance to town.
  • +Three distinct pool options including an infinity pool mean you can find your preferred crowd level.
  • +The PureRoc lava-rock cooking experience is genuinely unique on St. Maarten — families with kids enjoy it particularly.
  • +Philipsburg casinos, duty-free shopping, and restaurants are a 15-minute walk for guests who want evenings off property.

Cons

  • −Buildings A and B and beachfront units were under renovation through late 2025 — confirm room renovation status before booking.
  • −MIX AT OCEANS rooftop lounge is extra charge for standard all-inclusive guests, which feels restrictive given the room rates.
  • −10am check-out creates friction for guests with afternoon flights.

Tips

  • Book Pureocean dinner and PureRoc on your first day — both fill up by day two during high season.
  • Ask at booking which buildings are post-renovation and specifically request those units.
  • The Oceans premium tier is worth the upgrade primarily for rooftop lounge access and the concierge service, not for room size differences.
  • Walk to Philipsburg for at least one evening meal — better variety than on-site and the duty-free shops along the main strip are worth browsing.
