If you think you would enjoy watching the cruise ships arrive then ask for a bayfront unit.
DK Eyewitness "The massive grounds invite strolling, and there are three pools, restaurants and bars, and spa, tennis courts, and several watersports."
Star Service "Divi's rooms are a little more rustic, though there are fewer of them, which translates into more solitude. Again, it resides on one of the island's top beaches, a sprawling golden swath of sand." Full review

"An amazing beachfront location, small spa, and lush grounds full of character make it almost impossible not to appreciate Mary's Boon." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The gingerbread-trimmed Mary's Boon Beach Plantation, on the island's Dutch side, has 28 rooms painted in bright Caribbean colors, with cathedral ceilings and carved Balinese beds." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Small and well-run, this little beach front inn is a throwback to simpler times. As well as colorful rooms there are bungalows with large verandas and up to two bedrooms and two baths."
Star Service "This colorful bungalow complex is sandwiched between the airport and a magnificent stretch of white shady beach shared with the superior Caravanserai Beach Resort." Full review

With the exception of dyed-in-the-wool budgeters, Junior Garden rooms—there are two—should be avoided for their small proportions and drab views.
Fodor's "A shaded courtyard welcomes guests at this quirky, informal guesthouse on a 3-mile-long stretch of Simpson Bay. It has the funky feel of the Florida Keys."
Frommer's "A cheerfully spiffed-up boutique property, where the best rooms have big cherrywood four-poster beds and spacious layouts...also the kind of friendly place that encourages mingling with your neighbors" Full review
Lonely Planet "A stone’s throw from the airport runway, this plantation-style inn with bright Caribbean colors is bang on the beach." Full review
