Cupecoy is located a short 10 minute drive from the airport, between Maho and French Marigot.

The unit occupies the fourth floor and the partially covered upper deck.  The southwesterly view offers sunsets, but not the heat of the direct afternoon sun.

This early construction photo shows the location of the condo on the beach and the close proximity of the Atlantis Casino and restaurants.

Just around the corner to the right, is the second pool, the spiral staircase down to the beach and the gin clear sea.

This photo was taken from inside the cave, on the beach just below the condo.  It offers a cool respite from the sun, while still enjoying the soft white sand between your toes.

Some of our favorite restaurants:

  • La Gondola - Nice Northern Italian, two minute walk.
  • Carlo's - Casual Southern Italian and pizza, two minute walk.
  • Bistro Nu - Casual French Bistro, in Marigot.
  • Lee's Roadside - Casual fresh seafood and ribs, Simpson Bay.
  • Mario's Bistro - Nice French, two minute walk.
  • Mary's Boone - American and Creole on the beach - great for breakfase, lunch or dinner, but at night the view is not as nice, Simpson Beach.
  • Montmarte - Casual French, open air by the sea, Marigot by the draw bridge.
  • La Samana - the restaurant at the hotel is too expensive and the wait staff can be grouchy, but for lunch, it has the best open air views on the island and the food is good.
