We have never found the airport noise to be intrusive; however we've not stayed at Mary's Boon so I'm not sure how soundproof the rooms are.
The airport isn't open late so there should be little noise to disrupt your sleep. However, some have complained about the loud music in that area in the evenings.

We stay at Beachside Villas further down the beach toward the arrival end of airport west of Mary's Boon and have not been bother by airport noise. In fact it's fun to watch planes land. Children especially enjoy it.

Many hotels in Simpson Bay and Maho area are subject to planes so unless you stay in Phillipsburg or Orient Beach you won't get away from planes. Even on the French side in Grand Case there are planes that fly right over the hotels and villas.
