Just returned from another wonderful 10 days in St. Maarten! A few highlights from our trip….

Accommodations:
Our first 3 days were at Mary’s Boon. This is the first time that we stayed in a beachfront room and it was very much worth the few extra dollars! The staff was very attentive and really enjoyed our stay there!
The next 7 days were at Simpson Bay Resort. We were in the B building but had a gorgeous view! We had friends with us for this portion of our trip and they had a unit that joined ours by an indoor staircase. Worked out great! The construction on the F building did not hamper our beach time at all. There is lots that we love about SBR but don’t like the beach bar food since the resort took over. And the internet was nonexistent on the beach and weak in our unit.

Food:
Our favorite dinner was at The Stone! Best steak that I have ever had!! It has moved out of SBR and is now on the bay in the rear of the Laguna View Complex on Welfare Road. Same location as Cafe on the Bay was a few years ago.
We also enjoyed SkipJacks, Pineapple Petes, Jimbo’s, Boathouse, Bon Apetit and Buccaneer Beach Bar. Ahhhh that pizza at BBB is soooo good!

Beach Days:
We fell in love with El Zafiro! The owners and staff are very attentive. The food was delicious! And the view is to die for! We spent other days on the beach at Mary’s Boon or at Simpson Bay Resort. We spent a short time at Maho Beach at Sunset Beach Bar. The additions are very nice but sadly it has lost the charm it had before.

I feel so blessed to be able travel to this beautiful island!
