Absolutely concur on this. Been to just about all of them in the Caribbean and SXM is a standout. The availability of taxis and other types of transportation has always been outstanding here, and shopping is just a short walk into downtown Philipsburg. And, Great Bay Beach is just across from the port. Wish that some cruise lines would add additional ports-of-call in SXM, and even bring back the overnight stop that Celebrity cruise lines featured in the past. It allowed two full days on St. Maarten and served as a nice means for those afraid to fly to experience SXM.
