Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten Introduces Resort Talent Sign-On Incentive Program to Support Local Hospitality Recruitment
MAHO, St. Maarten (December, 2025) – Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten is pleased to announce the introduction of its Resort Talent Sign-On Incentive Program, a strategic initiative designed to support the recruitment and retention of skilled hospitality professionals across its resorts.
Beginning Dec. 1, 2025, new full-time employees hired into Housekeeping, Stewarding, Kitchen and Front Desk roles will be eligible to receive a 1,000 XCG NET sign-on incentive, designed to reward strong performance and long-term commitment.
The incentive will be paid in two installments: 500 XCG NET after the successful completion of 90 days of employment, followed by 500 XCG NET after one year of employment, contingent upon a successful performance evaluation and renewal of the employment contract for an additional year.
This program complements Sonesta Resorts St. Maarten’s continued dedication to elevating guest service standards by building strong, stable and well-supported operational teams.
“Staffing excellence is the foundation of exceptional guest experiences,” said Saro Spadaro, president and CEO of The Maho Group. “The new Sign-On Incentive Program reflects our commitment to attracting dedicated talent and rewarding those who choose to build their careers with us, while continuing to invest in our local workforce.”
The Resort Talent Sign-On Incentive Program is available to new full-time hires only in eligible departments. Candidates whose job applications were received between Nov. 15 and Nov. 30, 2025, will automatically qualify, even if their applications have not yet been processed. Former employees may become eligible following a six-month separation period. Existing employees who resign and reapply to obtain the incentive are not eligible.
The program will be active beginning Dec. 1, 2025, and will remain in effect until further notice.
