Beautiful Island...good for recreational tours...just did the water taxi to "downtown" decent beach and bars/restaurants there ....($7USD for rd trip water taxi) Read Less

After the ABC islands, this one took a bit of a beating, I'm afraid. It was not nearly as clean and the locals were much more pushy. Read Less

Very nice island lots to do very friendly. Read Less

We walked the one mile to the boardwalk because the water taxi was not running at 7:00 when we got off the ship. We were in the water swimming when we saw the first water taxi arrive at about 8:30. We didn't see anyone to rent chairs and an umbrella on the beach that early so we just put our bag and shoes on the sand while we went swimming. We don't have any valuables in the bag but we kept an eye on it anyway. We walked back to the ship around 11:30. Read Less

St. Maarten is a wonderful island we toured on our own and wound up at Orient Beach for a few hours and lunch. Read Less

I quite liked Philipsberg, and for movie fans, Yoda Guy is a must visit! OK, so most of the shops sell jewellery (like everywhere else in the Caribbean, it appears), but they were a bit less pushy than in some places, and it was a pleasant town to explore for a few hours. Read Less

Beach was crowd but had a nice day Read Less

Love the beach. Walking distance to ship (about 10 minutes) 20-25$ for 2 chairs, umbrella and bucket of 5 beers the group beside us paid for a $30 pp trip to the beach (no beer) Read Less

We took a ferry for $7 round trip and spent the day at the beach. It was a simple day. Read Less

It was a general overview that could have had another stop or 2 instead of a shopping stop of 30 minutes Read Less

I have been to St. Maarten before so we decided to stay close to the ship and visit the shops near the ship. As always, they have some great stores and items. Read Less

Get a taxi from the port to Maho Beach ($16 return). Maho Beach is famous for its USP - and is definitely worth going for - but it's also a nice, slightly small, beach to have a dip in the Caribbean Sea. Read Less

We took a Shuttle to Little Bay Beach on our own, and it wasn't crowded at all. Beautiful; calm and clean Beach. Staff was OK! They weren't rude, they just took their time. We were right next to the Divi Resort in St. Maarten and the bathrooms were immaculate. We could've gotten a better umbrella, but the "kid" wasn't focused. All in All, Little Bay in St. Maarten was a nice surprise. We really enjoyed ourselves. Water was calm and tranquil blue. Read Less

Fun time, albeit very dangerous because you are driving on main roads. Read Less

We took taxi to Maho. Easy and Affordable. Read Less
