Your Saint Martin Vacation Itinerary

  • Day 1: Most visitors arrive here via Princess Juliana International Airport in Philipsburg, in neighbouring Sint Maarten. Freshen up in your hotel in Saint Martin’s capital, Marigot, before checking out attractions like the West Indies Mall, Marigot Market and Fort Louis.

  • Day 2: Pick up the keys to a rental car and cruise around the island. Stop off at Loterie Farm then head to Quartier D’Orléans, a seaside village on the eastern coast.

  • Day 3: Don’t head home without savoring a sumptuous meal in Grand Case, known for its gourmet French cuisine. Time your visit to catch a glimpse of the elusive “green flash” as the sun sets over the ocean.

The pool was too shallow. The pool was great, if you like to stand in water. But if your desire is to swim it is horrible. Simpson Bay Villas and Resorts have better pools
