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 property was exactly what the pictures showed. The view was ok was able to see the pool and the ocean from the room. Over all I would recommend. Please look into cleaning prices prior to arrival they charge you as soon as you arrive depending on your room and the room damage fees as well.
