Diamond Resorts is reopening both of its resorts in St Maarten, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

On Jan. 1, 2021, the company will relaunch both its Royal Palm Beach Resort and Flamingo Beach Resort in St Maarten. 

Both properties have undergone what the company is calling “extensive, multimillion-dollar renovations” and the addition of new amenities. 

“We are thrilled to celebrate this exciting new chapter for our two beloved St. Maarten properties,” said Mike Flaskey, CEO of Diamond Resorts. “At Royal Palm Beach Resort and Flamingo Beach Resort, the very best of the Caribbean is at your fingertips. With world-class amenities, unrivaled beaches and stunning scenery, our St. Maarten resorts are the perfect destination.”

The resorts will be reopening under the company’s new “Diamond Standard of Clean” protocols, and with reduced capacity. 

The Flamingo Beach Resort and Royal Palm Beach Resort have 240 and 141 rooms, respectively. 

St Maarten has been open for tourism since the summer.
