I can't believe a local said "tourists spoiled his beautiful island" according to RonDon. Maybe there are some bad apples out there, but do all locals pick up other peoples garbage on the beach like I do, or respect their roads driving the speed limit and letting people out of parking spots. How about donating their money to help with stray dogs not to mention being loyal to all our favorite shops and restaurants. Not sure what he meant by "spoiled", but maybe he should talk to his island friends and see what they can do to make our beautiful St. Maarten better. I respect the island and it's people just as I do here at home on Long Island.
