Simpson Bay Resort SXM any wisdom?

Trading into Simpson Bay Resort in St Maarten this year. Anyone have any experience with this resort? Wife likes to relax on the balcony/veranda and read, but she is a pale red head and likes the shade. Any specific block of rooms I should request? Restraunt recomendations?

I also own at Royal Haciendas, any percs from that?

thanks
