OK, so we've seen the videos on youtube about the little beach at the end of the runway and the jetwash and landing blowback; has anyone here actually done this? And if so, why? And was it cool, or crazy? Thank you!

Uhg, Irina, don't ask! Just our best friend and traveling companion in his first message board outing. This is what I have to deal with all the time, and tell me again WHY I am invting him to come to St Maarten with us? Because he has no other friends! Go away little Jeff, leave the computer to someone who knows how to run the thing!

Thanks Barbara. Does anyone else have experience or knowledge of Aqua Mania's Tango dinner cruise? I'm about to make our reservations.. Thanks!
Forum: The Friendly St.Martin Island Forum

Hi all - does anyone have experience with Aqua Mania Adventure's Tango dinner cruise? It's $65 per person, departs 5.30pm, buffet dinner, open bar on board, cruise around some bay... I was just about to book online when I thought I might ask for your input. Thanks!

Right, saw that... but it departs Skipjacks, goes to 1 other restaurant then back to Skipjacks, I'd like to find something that goes to 2 or 3 different places.

Are there any beaches with waves suitable for body surfing? And are there chairs and umbrellas available?

I've read about the pub cruise, have you been on it? Are there any other day sails with snorkeling, rum punch and possibly visits to other islands??

Now I NEVER plan to watch tv on vacation... but... is there anyplace on island that they have satellite tv to catch the Red Sox sping training series versus the evil empire?

Any wild critters to be wary of? On the beaches, in the water, little lizards in the room?

Hi all - Thanks or your valuable input on my first few questions. Here's some more that came up last night, beer in hand, sitting around, counting the days... If it's ok with y'all, I'll post them as new topics so people can weigh in on those that they care to. Yes, these are real!

Hi all - OK, so as I mentioned we've done the all-inclusive thing in the past with great success - it's very cool not having to worry at all about paying as you go. So, how do we get stuff on SXM? Beer, food? Guilders, euros? What is meant by 1 to 1,do atm's dispense US dollars, coconut shells, or what!? Do the machines look for a 4 digit pin as at home, or do I need to contact m

Thank you to all who replied to my first thread. I've started a notepad of 'must do's' and beach bars to hit; I think we're going to need more than a week! As we're probably going to spend most of our time on our side of the island, is it wise/necessary/courteous/foolish to learn a few key phrases in Dutch? As far as I've read, English is widely spoken tho

Hi all - Newbie here with lots of questions. We (3 adults) will be traveling to SXM in early April for our first visit. We're staying at Belair Beach Hotel as an RCI exchange. Is there a FAQ for this board?? Obviously I have all the usual questions... need for rental car, bars, beaches, grocery store, bars, island rum tours, golf, hotel location, live reggae and island music locations, ha
