Review summary

The cruise was great! Everyone was friendly. The only thing we didn't like were the locals on St Marteen they were not friendly. Our taxi driver was rude the entire day and then at the beach we couldn't relax because we were bombarded by aloe foot massagers. Loved the entire trip but have no intentions of ever going back to St Marteen.

Give it another try. It is a great Island. Next time go to the Dutch side of the Island they are so much more friendly then on the French side.

That is the first bad review I have seen concerning st. Maarten. We have been there several times and just love it. Give it another try, I bet you have a different experience.
