Philipsburg, St. Maarten Port Reviews

Loved the town of Phillipsburg Yes - TUI tour - St. Maarten Island Tour - not good value, 2 photo stops and then dropped on in somewhere beginning with M for an hour, nothing to do except market stalls. Waste of money and time

Our kayak excursion was canceled due to weather and a snorkel excursion was recommended in its place. Honestly it was a poor recommendation because of the choppiness of the weather and inability to see anything. Overall nice boat ride. The airport was cool to see. We witnessed the damage from Maria which was heartbreaking. We were happy to support however we could.

Really like St Maarten but again the stores didn’t open until 10 and we had to leave a little after one. I would advise them to open when the crew ships arrive.

Take the $7 RT pp water taxi, rather then just shop right off the dock. There's also a nice little beach right there. One of the best islands to jewelry shop. You just have to be careful and have knowledge (expecially of price) on the items you want to purchase. Always ask for the best possible price and request a writtien appraisal which should be free of charge. You can usually get a little better deal if you can pay cash.

The beach was beautiful, but be prepared to get hustled by a lot of folks. The jet skiing was tons of fun and very reasonable in price.

We were supposed to stay over night in St Maarten but because of the hurricanes it has been changed to one day St. Kit t and one day in St Croix. Any suggestions for St Kitt?

A true place of beauty with a few comforts of home. For those craving a burger Burger King is there to fill the void. The shopping here I think is the best. Kay jeweler is the best on the island by far. Also make sure you grab yourself a bottle of Carib before you leave.

Lots of devastation. Took others advise and did a sea and beach excursion. So very happy we did. Had fun snorkeling and the beach was beautiful! We did the speed boat tour. Would have enjoyed a bit less of the tour part and more beach time.

Stunner of a day. Walked off ship to a water taxi that takes you directly to a gorgeous beach off Front St. Guy charged us $20 for 2 chairs, umbrella and free wifi access....he even showed us to wasrooms and an outdoor shower. What a perfect beach it was for the kids to play in and look for shells.

Had a private excursion through platinum exclusions. Our tour guide Wesley was awsome took us through French and Dutch sides
