Philipsburg, St. Maarten Port Reviews

The french side beaches are delightful..we wished we could stay longer than 1..should have taken a taxi instead of the shore excursion for only three hours..Shopping in town is a must do.

We really enjoyed this port. The water taxi ride was different and fun. The only problem here was so many ships in port , so it was really crowded everywhere we went . Would love to go back soon

The was the best port on the vacation. Go on a tour of the island. It's very interesting and unique-half French half Dutch. If you want cheap cigarettes and alcohol this place is for you. The chocolates at the Belgium Chocolate Factory in Philipsburg will deliver your chocolates to your cabin.

Lots and lots of shopping. Not too pushy. Clean island. Just don't do any time share meetings it will take up all your time on the island and ruin your time there.

One of my favorite ports. Everything seemed easily accessible and we had a very nice drink at a local restaurant here (can't recall the name) but it was delish!
