Zemi Beach House, LXR Hotels & Resorts

My wife and I and our teenage daughters stayed at Zemi for the second time. This time we spent 5 nights between Christmas and New Year’s, and we had another great stay. We booked very late for the holiday week and the only room available was a garden view room with two queen beds and a balcony. That said, we actually had a decent ocean view from our room with a really nice balcony. The breakfast buffet (and the service from the breakfast team) was really great, as was the food and service for dinner at both 20 Knots and Stone. Actually, all of the service was great from the restaurants to the guest services team (both in advance of our stay and while we were on property) to the beach team to the day and night housekeeping service, etc. We previously stayed here in low season in July and the only notable difference for this trip was that it was windier, and the ocean waves were bigger/rougher. But we enjoyed the ocean and the beach very much on this trip, too. The beach was also not at all crowded on our last trip during low season in July and we were concerned as to how crowded it would be during the holiday week. But we never had any trouble getting lounge chairs at the beach (shout out to Michael from the Beach team) or a table for lunch or dinner or anything. One other note. Last time, we took the ferry over from St. Maarten and this time we flew in from Miami on American Airlines. Both were good experiences and I wouldn’t hesitate to get there either way. We had another great stay and we will be back again.

Just returned from a 4 night stay. Beach was amazing, everything was clean and well maintained. Pictures don’t do the property justice, there is so much attention to detail, both in the structures and the landscaping. We were in a standard Ocean View and it was spacious. AC was quiet, worked great, and we loved the ceiling fan. Comfy beds. For food: I’m not much for buffets, but breakfast far exceeded expectations - the lady at the omelet bar was amazing, and the pastry was also a highlight We loved that we could walk the beach to several different spots for lunch. While on property, we had dinner at Stone, which was good, and followed with a rum flight at the Rhum Room. Even if you’re not a fan of rum (I’m more of whiskey person), Stacy is extremely knowledgeable and will help find something more suited to your taste. We also had lunch on property one day, and the poke bowl was good. The hotel staff were all very warm and helpful. The only criticism is that it felt like they could’ve used more staff at peak time as service could be a bit slow. But chances are that you came to the island to slow down anyways. Also, it is a considerable drive to a lot of the well known dinner spots, so I would recommend renting a car.

I am changing my previous 2-star review written on 12.23.24 a 5-Star review. Back-story: I had a gel manicure service that was not a good experience. GM Paulo Paias wrote me and offered a redo. Asih, the spa supervisor, re-did my nails and they came out perfect and beautiful. I am very thankful to the GM for reaching out to me and caring about customer service. Thank you!!

The staff here are incredible! From the moment we landed, we felt like they had prepared for our arrival and taken many small details into account. Beautiful and serene resort. The breakfast buffet was one of the best I’ve had anywhere at a hotel. Quality food and varied options. The beach is pristine! Pools are beautiful with attentive service. No issues whatsoever during our trip. Wish we could have stayed longer

A Truly Exceptional Stay: Service Beyond Compare My stay at this resort was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to the incredible staff who went above and beyond to make every moment perfect. I have to give special mention to a few exceptional individuals who stood out. Paulo, the General Manager, was an outstanding leader who made every guest feel valued. His genuine kindness and attentiveness set the tone for the impeccable service throughout the resort. Jerdell Lake, the Experience Manager, went out of his way to help me find my lost phone, spending an entire hour assisting me until it was recovered. His patience and dedication were truly remarkable. Emanuele Sabatini, the Executive Chef, deserves immense praise for his extraordinary efforts in accommodating our challenging dietary restrictions. From breakfast to dinner, Emanuele personally ensured every meal was safe for us to enjoy, creating special dishes and checking in frequently to guarantee everything was perfect. Beyond these incredible individuals, the rest of the staff were equally accommodating and thoughtful, creating a seamless and luxurious experience from start to finish. The resort itself was stunning, with pristine rooms, beautiful beach views, and top-notch amenities. I’ve stayed in many hotels, but this experience truly set a new standard for hospitality. It’s impossible to include every detail or mention every amazing staff member in one review, but suffice it to say this is a five-star resort in every sense of the word. Thank you, Paulo and team, for an exceptional stay!
