My husband and I visited the island in May and just returned this past Sunday from another visit. Both stays were eight nights. We stayed on French side and spent our days on Orient Beach. We had dinners on both the French and Dutch sides and visited the Red Piano on a couple of evenings. We felt no less or no more safe than we had during our visits before Irma. You will have a wide variety of dining choices during March. We saw much progress in restaurant openings from May to our most recent trip although many reopened restaurants were closed as it is a traditionally quiet time on the island. Hope this helps.
