Any advice on whether we shoul rent a cell phone for the wk we are there? We plan to take our own for emergencies(verizon) but don't plan to use it unless we have to. I'm thinking a rental phon would be just 1 more thing to keep up with. Are dining reservations at midrange restaurants necessary during off season (next week)?

Hi folks, We'll be leaving Sunday for SXM and want to thank you all for a lot of good info. I feel like i'm well prepared and can't wait. I read somewhere about some locally made ice cream that is out of this world but can't find it again. I'm not sure but it might startwith "E". Is it available island wide and what's it called? Thanks!

Hi guys! just about 10 days to wait!!!!!!! I just saw that rain is forecast for all next week. Are these usually just brief showers or more serious rain? Is this a storm of sorts or just the usual pattern?

Ive read about Caribbean cards and privilege cards. Where do you get them and which do you recommend. TTOL seemed to think Caribbean for Dutch side and privilege for French. We will be dining on both sides.for about 10 days. thanks!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

In reading the forum i've found references to service charges added to restaurant bills. Is this the gratuity in which case you don't leave an additional tip? I've read on one site that gratuity is added to your bill automatically on French side as in Europe while on Dutch side standard American tipping is the norm. Is this correct? It's all a bit confusing if(as with me) you&
