In an effort to offset the cost of COVID-19 tests required to enter the destination of Sint Maarten, Sonesta Resorts Sint Maarten, comprising the all-inclusive, adults-only Sonesta Ocean Point Resort and the all-inclusive, family-focused Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino & Spa, announced today that it will offer up to $120 USD per person in resort credit for use on extras at its resorts such as spa treatments, premium bottles of wine and other property amenities and services. And now, traveling to the destination is easier as well, as recently, the Government of Sint Maarten has extended the COVID-19 testing window to 120 hours (five days) prior to arrival allowing travelers more time to take their tests prior to traveling.
“We know that today more than ever before, there are many things to think about when making the choice to travel, and while safety and security and the health of your family is paramount, the cost is also high on that list,” said Sonesta Resorts Sint Maarten’s new Director of Sales & Marketing Michele Olivier. “By alleviating the testing cost, we want our guests to feel that we’ve got their back from the beginning. We love to travel, and for those who have the means to get on a plane and come visit us, we want them to be able to use that money spent on testing during their vacation. They have earned it!” While the resorts are all-inclusive, with all meals, drinks, scheduled resort activities, and other extras included, the resort credit can be used for spa treatments and premium bottles of wine, as well as tours and excursions.

The offer is available for travel now through December 23, 2020, with potential plans for extension based on government regulations, and based on a minimum stay of three nights. Guests are simply asked to present a valid receipt for their COVID-19 test upon arrival at the Front Desk. The resort credit does not have cash value, cannot be deducted from room rate and can only be applied towards on-property services and amenities. Sonesta Resorts Sint Maarten welcomes guests when they will be ready to travel offering peace of mind that all health and hygiene procedures are in place with the company’s new sanitization program, PureCare, ensuring a safe haven for security and wellbeing without compromising comfort for an enjoyable vacation experience.
