- Stayed at Hotel Christopher, expensive hotel without a beach but a great infinity pool, had transportation between ferry and hotel
- Rented a car from Avis as it was less expensive than the hotel and they deliver. Get a small car, the streets are narrow and parking is tight.
- Used Voyager ferry to get from St. Martin (French Side) and Gustavia, need to book ahead but the ferry was reliable and about an hr
- Higher prices than Anguilla and in Euro. Expect European prices and island premium, so above average amount on drinks and food (for NY or SF prices)
- Nikki Beach has a club scene on Sunday’s at brunch, can be a fun mix of party music and beach
- Shellona is a beachy style restraunat with solid mediterranean food
- Did a great seafood dinner at Bonito, makes intersting cocktails
- Potenially good surf at Lorient beach where there is a surf shack (AJOE Reefer Surf Club) that rents boards if you call ahead
- St. Jean beach split is another alternative for surf
- Flew out of SXM on St. Martin’s by taking a 15 min cab from the ferry terminal to the airport
