Fodor's Expert Review Princess Heights
156 Oyster Pond Rd., St. Maarten
Perched on a hill hundreds of feet above the Atlantic, spacious suites offer privacy, luxury, and white-balustrade balconies with a smashing view of St. Barth. Each apartment has one or two bedrooms with pillow-top mattresses, stainless-steel kitchen appliances (side-by-side refrigerators come with complimentary beverages), granite bathrooms with whirlpool tubs and rain showers, flat-screen TVs, and daily maid service. Send a grocery list in advance, and, for a fee, your kitchen will be stocked prior to your arrival. The property is just 4 miles (6 km) from Philipsburg. A second, more recent building has much nicer rooms and elevators.

CONS
