Fresh from a $10 million renovation, the Caribbean's Great Bay Beach Resort & Casino draws couples, recreational aficionados and outdoor enthusiasts by offering a tropical mix of sailing, snorkeling, tennis, stage shows and gaming action. This seven-story hotel is perched on the beach near Mt. Willem and sits five minutes from downtown Philipsburg's shopping and restaurants.
A little further away, travelers will discover a zoo, botanical gardens, parrot jungle, butterfly farm and scenic vistas of Paradise Peak.

Guests can enjoy traditional Italian cuisine at La Cucina, dine indoors at The Molasses or overlook the turquoise Caribbean waters at the Bay View Restaurant.

The seven-story Great Bay Beach Resort features 262 guestrooms and suites with blond-wood furnishings, colorful fabrics, satellite television, in-room safes, refrigerators and balconies. :
