We feel the same as Carlos II - "back in the day" we really looked forward to visiting St. Martin when we felt comfortable being nude on the Tiko and all of Orient Beach - but is seems the folks living on the island have ruined that - our last two visits have not been the same as the first 9 trips so we don't have any desire to spend our 5K or spend our valuable vacation time there again in the near future - with the attitude of the island folks why should we? But, thanks St. Martin, for the memories- it was fun while it lasted.
