The addition of Cantina Paradiso and increased green initiatives elevate the overall experience for guests

MAHO, St. Maarten (June 2024) – Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten, comprised of the luxe adults-only Sonesta Ocean Point Resort and the family-friendly Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino & Spa, announces the latest enhancements aimed at enriching the guest experience, including the opening of new Mexican-inspired restaurant Cantina Paradiso, in addition to updates to guestrooms and expanded sustainability initiatives.

“Our team continually looks to create an exciting and enhanced stay for guests of all ages. The introduction of our newest restaurant concept, Cantina Paradiso, follows suite of our dining options across the two properties to offer beachfront dining with delicious cuisine,” said Jamie Lee, vice president of operations at Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten. Recognizing the importance of sustainability in our offerings and how that works to create a better guest experience, Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten also remains committed to weaving energy efficiency and green initiatives into amenities and features.”

Cantina Paradiso, now open at Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino & Spa, offers a Mexican-inspired outdoor dining experience and is available for guests of both properties. Led by the resorts’ creative culinary lead, Chef Francisco Almonte, the restaurant welcomes guests to enjoy the rich flavors of Mexican Caribbean cuisine for dinner. Signature dishes include sizzling beef tacos, burritos, ceviche, churros and rice pudding, in addition to a customizable nacho bar. Chef Francisco’s personal favorite, the beef tacos, promises an authentic taste to merge the flavors of the two regions in the relaxed setting that embodies the coastal surroundings.

Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten continues its commitment to sustainability through progress of onsite initiatives. The resort’s solar power farm now produces approximately 50 percent of the resorts’ consumed energy, making them among the most energy-efficient properties in the Caribbean. Beyond solar energy, Sonesta Maho and Sonesta Ocean Point focus on additional eco-measures in back-of-house processes that create a more enjoyable stay for guests, including the sourcing of energy-efficient appliances, water treatment plant, eco-friendly cleaning products, and low-emission backup generators that help to ensure uninterrupted services and experiences. Further enhancements across room and suite categories at both resorts include TV upgrades and saltwater pools as part of the swim out suites category in addition to modernized touches across accommodations to make the experience that much more enjoyable.
