Pelican beach

"The Pelican Resort Club is located on the beach on the Dutch side of St. Maarten. The hillside location offers spectacular views out over Simpson Bay... The resort has two restaurants and four bars. The water front gourmet restaurant, The Pelican Reef Steak & Seafood House, offers exceptional dining and impeccable service. The ambiance is superb, the wine list excellent and the cuisine outstanding. Wine lovers will be glad to know that The Reef is the first restaurant on the island to win the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. For those people who are looking for something less formal, there is Vinnie Valentine's Italian outdoor dining at Marina Plaza and La Veranda offering casual dining on a balcony overlooking the Caribbean."
