mosquitos are at their worst at sunset.. that is when they come out in droves.. the noseeums too. you can't come to the Caribben and not expect to meet up with them so come prepared with protection.

if you buy booze in town, you have to check it in your bags. If you buy booze at the airport after you pass security, you cna carry it on separately.. that's good for a non stop but if you change planes, then you cannot carry it on the next plane..you have to check it in your luggaage.

well, I guess I have to put in a plug for the Pasangrahan and Philipsburg.:-) The Pasangrahan is a charming hotel right on the beach in Philipsburg.. the area is safe and the boardwalk is right there.. that is lined with beach bars and restaurants and is quite lively during the day and on weekend nights.. during the week Philipsburg is quiet though.

what beach do you want to go to? the Philipsburg beach is a short distance away, you can walk there or take a water taxi there.. the beach is lined with beach bars and restaurants. you can stroll the boardwalk or shop on Front Street. for a nice lunch, try Pasagrahan Guesthouse, Greenhouse Restaurnat,or Oulaichi( in the St. maarten arcade) If you want to go to another beach, then you need to

Toni if you are staying at the Westin, I recommend 2 restaurants in the area. 1. Mr. Busby's is a beach bar on the other end of the beach. At night it becomes Daniels by the Sea, an excellent Italian restaurant in a very romantic setting. another one on the other side of the Oyster aAPond itself is Tabba Khady. I recommend both of them and of course there are fabulous reatuarant

If you want to take the boat over to St. barth's, the closest location to you is Oyster Pond. There is a ferry, the Voyager, that leaves from Captain Oliver's Marina. that is right near where you will be staying someitmes the trip over is not rough at all. the trip coming back to SXM is usually not a problem.

the island is pretty easy to get around on.. we don't have many side roads. If you get lost, in 5 minutes you can find your way back. don't worry. one spin around the island and you will be oriented X 3.
