Some rough conditions on the island but they are recovering. Spend a few extra $ and don't haggle to much. They need the income. We took a taxi to Maho beach (Where the planes fly over) $16 at the port or $45 on ship per person round trip. Spent some time at the restaurant... Had a great time.

We took a $7.00 water taxi ride to Great Bay Beach. Very calm clear water. Two beach loungers, umbrella and WiFi for $20. Relaxing day at a pretty beach.

Just got back from St Maarten and had a great time. We did an independent tour. I contacted “Crazy” Dave Herbert at Topper’s Rhum Distillery. After a great tour and 9 plus tastings, we had a great lunch and then a few hours on Maho Beach. Fun fact - Topper’s Rhum is considered a craft alcohol and you can bring as much into the states as you want. Look Dave or Happy Hour Charters up on Facebook.

Favorite stop! This is my 2nd visit. This time I did the water taxi to the center of town. Beach Day! Lots of buildings destroyed and they are rebuilding nicely. Such a joy to see how happy the people are that we came to visit and support their economic recovery.

Definitely go to Maho Beach and watch the planes land and take off. Pretty cool.

We went to Maho beach to see the jet planes land and take off - it was a blast! Share a taxi with others - $8 a person

Took the water taxi to and from the beach. Easy. Plenty of deals for a chair and umbrella at the beach. We got two chairs, an umbrella and 5-6 beers for $20. (Feb. '18)

For what St. Maarten has gone through with the storms of last year, I think they did a pretty good job for cleaning things up.

St. Maarten is still actively cleaning up from the hurricane in September 2017. They are, however, making good progress, and the people there are genuinely happy to see the cruise passengers coming back.
