I lived in Philipsburg for 8yrs. Daughter is a proud SMX girl!! It really is the friendly island!! Loved the library and the manners they taught my kids. They quickly got accustomed to 'good morning' etc. Even my shy boy would always address Ms. Maryland with a good morning. I really miss that place and the people. ❤

Each time we branch out and are more comfortable. The people are great. The food is FANTASTIC. I think there is better food in Marigot and Grand Case than in most of Scotland. Hiked Pic Paradise last time (very challenging). I love St. Martin.

Good day! We are thinking of travelling to St. Martin in January, 2022. Trying to decide on what resort to book and whether we should do All inclusive or not. Sonesta Maho Beach (is it too loud with the airport close by) or Divi Little Bay? Or, any other suggestions? I love a nice beach and some "easy" nightly entertainment. Suggestions? Thank you in advance!
@TheTravelingIslandGirl3 жыл бұрын
Hi Mary, I will be honest and say that I am not a fan of all inclusive hotels or resorts and much prefer a more local experience. All inclusives just don’t bring as much to the island as conventional hotels do. Having said that, I have stayed at Divi and although they are venturing into all-inclusive, they also have regular rooms available. Their beach and pool areas are nice and so are their rooms. My other suggestion is Simpson Bay Resort. It’s close enough to great restos and bars without the noise. La Vista and Royal Palm are also worth a look.
@gingeryockey71493 жыл бұрын
We stayed at Sonesta for a few days during one of our trips. It was very nice, friendly people, lots of food, good pools and everything you would expect from an all inclusive hotel. However, what my husband and I love most is being in more of a “local” setting. We even didn’t rent a car on one trip. We rode the bus or hitched a ride from some of the locals to the grocery store. We absolutely loved it. We love seeing the people, talking to different people and love to see real island living. So it could go either way. We just prefer the non standard touristy atmosphere.

Hello, Thank you so much for your videos, I am planning a vacation with friends next month and your videos helped us a lot. One thing I was wondering that you didnt cover on your videos yet, was the best months to visit. I already have booked my vacation and bought tickets for Aug 26th, however, someone just told me that the island closes Aug 10 to September. Is that true? I was told that business, restaurants stores all close in the month of August because of hurricane season. Now Im not sure what to do, would you be able to confirm if this is accurate? Thank you so much in advance.
@TheTravelingIslandGirl3 жыл бұрын
Hi Gabriel. I must say that I have not heard anything about the island closing. That is complete news to me and highly unlikely. Businesses have really suffered because of this pandemic and a closure at this time will only further hurt the island's economy. Having said that, it is also the reason why I predict that many restaurants and hotels will stay open during August and September this year. A few might close indeed but I don't think they will till September. The only thing you need to make sure of when traveling in August is to get yourself a travel insurance in case you find yourself cancelling at the last minute or cutting your trip short because of a storm or hurricane. That is unfortunately our reality when living in the hurricane belt.

I personally did not see SXM as an expensive place. Of course i rejected the beachside villas because of its price and didn't even bother checking the Sonesta's prices as well. I preferred the cost-benefit of Royal Palm + the chinese mini-market nearby. In other words: I like to save money... I figured as much that everything there would be imported but....i heard from a friend which is a former member of the island's Commercial Board that SXM is TAX-FREE for imported goods as long as you are a local or a documented permanent resident. My opinion? You guys managed to find the perfect balance between cost/profit and you do not have to "skin" the tourists when they buy your service/merchandise like they do here in Rio de Janeiro.

Most people on the French side of the island (especially those working in restaurants and bars) speak English, that includes Orient Bay.

Complaining about GEBE is the St Maarten equivalent to the Dutch complaining about the weather in NL. Its almost mandatory....almost.

Is there no land to grow your own produce at all. There is lot more you could do for yourselves would be more productive, like road maintenance so people come and rent cars and support the island’s in the Caribbean. You should not depend on tourist alone.

Your ignorance of the Caribbean is astounding, dear sir. I do hope you get to visit some day and try to learn about the culture and the differences between the islands before making statements like this.

Women have the right to wear what they want. Also, NY isn’t 100 +degrees lady.

Westcoast Cultured, women absolutely should and this island girl, like most people from the Caribbean, is a well traveled one. I’m very well aware of what the weather in New York is like. This island may be a vacation destination but it is also a functioning society and we consider it rude and disrespectful to walk around in your bathing suit in our capital, restaurants and shops. Kindly respect our culture or don’t visit and our differences.
