Philipsburg, St. Maarten Port Reviews

a lot of stores still closed

Gorgeous beach. This RC excursion also included lunch which was at the resort restaurant. It was fabulous! Great service. The beach was so beautiful. Be aware that there are local vendors that approach your beach chairs. We were asked to be courteous and say “no thank you.” Didn’t impact our experience though.

Nice port for a beach day, but the locals are very pushy especially around the beach. First time we ever felt uncomfortable around locals.

Pelicans Pike and the beaches are great

Always Enjoy!

Had a great time on our own. Been there before so knew best way to get around to see our interests.

Such a beautiful island. When we docked and I went to deck 15 there were butterflies everywhere. So nice.

Went to Maho Beach. To be done once in one's life. The beach itself had been washed away by tropical storm Earl and the sea was really rough so we could not swim very well. It was very hot, so we climbed over huge boulders to put our feet in or sit in the water. We did see many planes land at Princess Juliana Airport and that was really nice.

This is a great port, you need to take a water taxi if you want to go downtown shopping. Our excursion was a catamaran snorkel and beach stop. Had a great time, after snorkeling we went to the beach stop they had plenty drinks available and after the stop we boarded and the provided hoagies to eat great experience.

One of my favorite destinations. We booked the Orient beach escape tour with lunch. Lunch was ok, drinks were great! Unfortunately the beach was full of seaweed so not the best to swim in, we were told in advance at the pier and given the choice to not go and get reimbursed but we went anyway and glad we did.
