We recently celebrated St. Martin's Day on November 11th. Legend has it that Christopher Columbus sighted and anchored at our island on this day in 1493, and because it was the feast day of St. Martin of Tours, he named our island after the saint.

We were also thrilled to welcome King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and Queen Maxima on November 13 as they arrived on their visit to St. Maarten for 10 days. Our islanders were happy to welcome our royalty and gave them a special reception.
There's always something wonderful happening at St. Maarten. Come to The Summit Resort Hotel and be a part of it!

40 Years of Service and Still Going Strong!
We'd like to applaud our own Ms. Mena, Head of Housekeeping, who recently celebrated 40 years of service with the Summit Resort Hotel and its guests. Mena began working at the Summit when we first opened for business in November 1973.
Ms. Mena ensures that rooms are kept spotless by the housekeeping staff and is always looking for ways to improve guest comfort at the Summit Resort Hotel.
Her warm smile is a welcome sight to guests whether they are here for the first time or returning year after year. We pride ourselves on being a "family" at the Summit, because many family members work side-by-side here, and this is certainly true with Ms. Mena. Her sister Muriel has worked at the Summit for 36 years and her daughter Evans is our General Manager.
We thank Ms. Mena for her dedication to the Summit Resort Hotel and its guests and look forward to many more years of her stewardship of the unique Summit Resort guest experience.
