Hilton Grand Vacations has officially expanded to St Maarten. 

The company has rebranded a pair of resorts in St Maarten following the company’s acquisition of Diamond Resorts. 

The company is holding ribbon-cutting ceremonies this week for its new resorts: Flamingo Beach and Royal Palm, both of which are under a new brand Hilton Vacation Club. 

Flamingo Beach.

The 240-suite Flamingo Beach, a Hilton Vacation Club, set in Simpson Bay, has a mix of studios and one-bedroom suites, with amenities including a pool, a hot tub, a sports court, palaces on the beach and an on-site cafe. 

The 118-room Royal Palm, a Hilton Vacation Club, has a mix of larger one, two and three-bedroom units,
