The Sonesta Ocean Point in St Maarten has delayed its reopening by one month, a spokesperson for the property told Caribbean Journal this week.

The luxury all-inclusive will now be reopening Dec. 15.

The adults-only property will relaunch with 129 suites, along with four bars, two restaurants and amenities like 24-hour room service and private cabanas.

The relaunch will include an enhanced guest room layout, with larger bathrooms and new furniture, among other changes.

It has been shuttered since Hurricane Irma hit St Maarten last year.

The Ocean Point’s sister hotel, the Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, is still on target for a return on Feb. 1, 2019, however.
