I would just like to interject that we are currently on the island which is our 13th visit since 2005, and it’s our BEST trip to date.
The traffic is almost non-existent (and it’s Carnival)
We’ve been thanked several times by locals for coming, both in Maho & Philipsburg, everyone seems appreciative & the overall feel we’re getting is “safe”
If you’re reading this, and trying to decide whether or not you should visit, please do not hesitate. Yes there’s been an unbelievable amount of devastation, but we’ve never felt so humbled and happy to bring our tourist dollars here again.
Come come!!
