Pros: Gorgeous Caribbean setting, Fantastic European vibe and food, a beautiful, quiet, private well-run resort Cons: Wireless was a little spotty and bring your European adapters
The Seagrape (Cocoloba uvifera) is an amazing tree. It is so salt tolerant that it can grow basically on the beach a few steps from the water. It produces large bunches of edible fruit in grape-like clusters. It also produces some of the most ...
Pros: variety of cuisine, some beautiful beaches, friendly people Cons: crowded; traffic; extreme heat
My wife and I have always wanted to take an eating tour of Europe, and were surprised when we unwittingly stumbled into one on the Caribbean island of St. Maartin. Half French and half Dutch, the island sports a hefty number of international restaurants,...
Pros: Great Food, Beautiful Scenery, Lots of Nightlife Cons: Crowded, Stray Dogs Roaming Free, Traffic
I just returned from my first trip to St. Maarten at the end of April. We stayed on the Dutch side of the island in the Simpson Bay area. The Sunterra Royal Palm resort is clean, comfortable and convenient to the airport. It has gift shops and a deli ...
Pros: Good food and shopping. Cons: Crowded,not that clean, watch out for the scam artists.
We went to Saint Martaan on our honeymoon. I was really looking forward to what I thought would be a great trip. Suffice to say,I was disappointed in this island.
This island is divided into two parts, Dutch and French. The Dutch side is where...
Pros: Scenery, Food, friendly people, wonderful beaches Cons: Airfare costly, Not much to do if it rains
We just returned from two weeks in paradise. (See my original remarks St. Maarten- A Caribbean Paradise) The fabulous turquoise waters and mountain vistas of Sint Maarten/St. Martin afford a true feast for the eyes.
Pros: Great food, good beaches, fun to explore Cons: Crowded cities, narrow roads, mediocre scuba diving
As a Scuba diver and Underwater photographer, we spend at least two weeks in the Caribbean each year and whenever we go looking at a new place to try, one of the first questions I always ask is: "How's the Diving?".
Pros: Economically sound, GREAT food. Cons: dirty, crowded, not as nice as Aruba..
Oversized volcanic mounds covered in plush green surrounded by deep blue waters--this is the first observable view of St. Martin/Maarten from the airplane..
My excursion to St. Martin was interesting... I don't think i'll go back..not that...
Pros: Friendly people, excellent ocean views from high areas, good island food. Cons: Expensive because everything is imported, no definitive Saint Maarten culture, many stray dogs.
I just returned from Saint Maarten two weeks ago. I went with some friends during Holy Week, which was probably not the greatest idea because everything was closed on Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday, which left us only four days to shop and...
Pros: great people; beautiful beaches; reasonable prices Cons: some hurricane damage still there
I just got back from a wonderful vacation in Sint Maarten, where good friends got married (what a background for a wedding!), and I was very impressed with the entire island. I've been lucky in that I've travelled quite a bit, including many islands in...
Pros: Relaxation; Friendly People Cons: Lacks the necessary uniqueness to make you want to come back
Divided between France and the Netherlands, St. Martin/St. Maarten offers the traveler an island paradise with numerous sandy beaches, bright sunny days, and extensive water activities. My wife and I spent a week at the Sunterra Flamingo Beach Resort,...
Pros: Beautiful beaches, affordable vacation spot Cons: This is paradise- what cons can there be?
Our trip to St Maarten was just a one- day stop over, off of a cruise we had taken as a family trip. We traveled in the beginning of March and being from the north east coast when things are usually pretty brown and drab in between winter and spring in...
Pros: Orient Beach is such a nice destination that it captured us for the day (twice). Cons: Not at this beach, unless "clothing-optional" turns you off.
This island half owned by the French and half owned by the Dutch. We arrived by ship and docked on the southern Dutch side. The northern French side (actually a little more than half) is named St. Martin. We shared a taxi ($6.00 per person when you ...
