Two families just came back on American. No problem with them so it must be United/

This is great! Maybe now folks can find a detour around the bridge work to the airport (SXM) from the Dutch side.

A cell phone is must on the island. International calling cards do not always work

I just returned and because all of the food is imported you will pay more. We found a new store on the island which opened about six months ago and the fruit and Veggies were a whole lot better than Grand Marche and the traffic is not a problem. It is SXM version of Fresh Foods or Fresh Market. It is the cleanest market on the island. Because tourism is down we were able to go to Grand Ca

So happy you had a great vacation! We also just returned and the Island was beautiful. I do feel for the locals because tourism is down dramically over our visit two years ago.

I was there once in late July and the weather was fine. The shopping was great because it was slow and the merchants were begging for sales. Also the prices were down for slow season and some resturant hours were cut. Enjoy

I love the Dawn beach area. I agree you should not cancel. If you feel you need to change your reservation I would suggest the Westin which has a room rate of $200. per night or Oyster Bay resort.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

I am always getting lost or making the wrong turn. Is there a detailed road map of the island?
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

You also do not have to buy bottled water! I always keep hydrated!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

I do not think they would delivery. They do have carry out but remember cash no credit cards. Parking can also be a problem but we just parked along the side of the road and look when you step out.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

From Oyster Bay Resort it would be on the left side of the road. There are many items on the menu mostly pizza and sandwichs
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Let me know how your say was at Oyster Bay. We are staying there next month! I would agree MaMa's ,Pizza is the best!! No credit only cash.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Westin prices are good and we are staying there later in June for a couple days. Understand they do add $50.00 USD per day which covers tips ect...Enjoy

My daughter is coming with me on vacation and she wants to look for an engagement ring with my future son-in-law. I'm assuming the Dutch side would be better because of the exchange rate. I could be wrong. Where will they get the best bang for their $ ? Who would you all recommend?
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Crime is up everywhere. My family is coming in June and as I told my family just us your head. Do not put yourself in a bad position to make you an easy target.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Norm great trip! When is OBBR going to tell their owners. Our plans are to arrive in late June and I was hoping for the Tower. I guess that will be out! Also looking for place to stay two night midweek for around $200.00 per night any suggestions
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Clem you are lucky! Over the last two year travel is no longer a pleasure. The only US carrier that seem to care is Southwest. It seems to me that all American cares about is who pays the most money. If you travel out of the US watch out for American.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

to add in saulght to injury they at first would not change my flight because I was flying on awards???I was told they would have to request them and it would take 24 hours. I these hard times you would think they would take care of those who travel them the most! PS my locator information is correct. I feel they were just waiting until too much time would pass and I would be SOL

After reading the posting about AA flights this summer I went in and checked my families flights. They had changed all of the original flights to really bad times. Be aware they never notified me of the changes. Boy am I lucky I checked. I was able to fix most of the connections. Anyone who has a flight on AA should check to see what they have done to you.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

I also found the food prices a tab higher but not to worry. The quality is good and the price is not too bad. Also want to mention that tap water is fine and would not buy bottled water if you go out.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Any word on Oyster Bay Resort? Hope everyone is ok
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

I wish Jet Blue would change their fly times to accomodate folks from the Midwest who are stuck with US Air or American. I just got my tickets for next June and American rate was the same as two years ago ($600.00). You are stuck with either connecting through Miami or San Juan. If you are flying out of San Jaun on the connection I would suggest the first morning flight because American

I agree! Crime if not controlled will kill this beautiful island. We expect crime in the US not the friendly island
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

That is what I remember last year
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

That is great news because last year there were some difficulties over a labor dispute. How is the construction going at Oyster Bay?
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

I agree! Explore but understand that most roads are not marked well nor are the beaches so get good directions before you set out to the beach. If you can find a detailed map of the island.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Planning a trip later this summer and I was wondering how the construction is going and if I should reschedule for next year?
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

My wife and are planning on returning in July. Let me know how the construction affected your stay.
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

No problem with the cabs. You are about 15 minutes away. Maybe more difficult getting back.
