Chefs Night was born of the notion that a gastronomic experience should be shared and enjoyed amongst family and friends.  After a successful event earlier this year, Sonesta Ocean Point is elevating the all-inclusive experience even further bringing back the Chefs Night concept, set on the most spectacular location on the westernmost point of St. Maarten taking place, October 26-28, 2016.

• Accommodations in Junior Suite or higher category
• Early morning Chefs’ shopping excursions to local St. Maarten markets to pick up fresh ingredients for the evenings’ dinners with a stop at a chocolate factory and lunch at Chez Yvette
• ‘Mingle with the Chefs’ exclusive cocktail event at the rooftop Sunset Lounge
• Two dinner events at the resort’s Azul Restaurant showcasing the Chefs’ Scandinavian-French-Caribbean fusion culinary creations

Package is available October 20 – October 31, 2016. To receive discount and participate in the Chefs Night events, a minimum four nights stay through October 29, 2016 is required.

Rates for the package will be starting at $216 per person, per night based on double occupancy. Reservations can be made online at www.sonesta.com/oceanpoint or by calling +1-721-545-3100 and using booking Code: CHEF.
