St. Maarten Cruise Reviews

St Maarten’s port was well unkept, large, and had a few bars a food options. It was easy to find taxis or water taxis and the prices were very reasonable. We took a water taxi to Great Bay beach right by Phillipsburg. The crew was very nice and helpful and drinks were offered on the short ride. The beach was very nice with plenty of umbrellas and chairs to rent. I would recommend looking at ...

Nice port, walking distance to the beach. ...

We did the Rhum distillery tour, and it was fun and interactive. A must stop. It also was more on the Dutch side. Don't miss it. ...

The beach was white side and the water was perfect. We even saw a cute little turtle popping up beside us in the ...

Love St. Maarten but traffic is getting terrible on the island it took over an hour to get to Moho beach which used to take 20 min. It also seems that due to you tube and the internet in general Moho beach which used to be kind of an unknown thing is now super popular and insanely crowded. ...
