Hi LisaB!
The "beach" at Beach Plaza is virtually non-existent and not at all typical of the beaches on St. Martin. I am quite familiar with this hotel as I stayed for a few nights after some time in Anguilla and waiting for my parents to arrive is SXM. It is in a great location with regard to downtown Marigot, walking distance to all the shops and the Marina. I'm a beach person but I spent the days by the pool because the water was up to the "wall" and there was no beach. Knowing what I do about some of your likes and dislikes, I would not recommend this hotel to you. The rooms ARE nice but I would not stay long term as it would not provide me with the beach holiday I so look forward to. Take a look at L'Hoste Suites on Orient Bay. They are spacious condo-style accommodations with full kitchen, directly on the beach and within walking distance of some shops and many restaurants. When are you planning on travelling?
Regards,
