We missed St Martin and did Hawaii and can not wait to get back to our favorite friendly island
So we have been there 20 plus times but with all the destruction we hope to help with tourists dollars
Here is my list please reply with your input
6 Days Orient at Green Cay villas
Dinner La Pament,Spiga usual places thinking about adding Sol Da Luna we ate there once and Bistro Caraibe and Pizza Pascal....Rainbow for lunch??? Any good beach bars on Orient our favorite was La String?????
One flight to St Bart’s never did it we sometimes stay in Anguilla for a few days but thought one day of 11 would be goood to see that island???? Thoughts
Dutch home bass Simpson Bay
Salt and Pepe toppers one night anything else .....?????
Rosie and Mullett bay my favorite lunch everyday there....is Mario’s Open and worth it...there many years ago
Thank you so much what I also do and encourage all of you we have friends that work at the hotel and we leave a full suitcase full of clothes that are good we just don’t need the sneakers etc so you have more room to carrier back the local rum
Thanks for your input oh....our woman’s who did our massages on Orient retired we miss her any good people to reccomend?
Yoga on the beach on Orient or Simpson????.
People ask me why St Martin I say the best food the best beaches. Two different experiences on the same island

If you have never eaten at Mark's Place, I would suggest it.

So many wonderful places across the island but I have to agree with ruralcarrier with regard to Marks Place. On our November trip I had what I think were the best mussels I’ve ever had. They were incredibly good and the pot broth was out of this world and all at a very reasonable price, too.
With regard to your specific questions, yes, Mario’s is very good and add to that, I would highly recommend LeMoulinFou in Maho area for a very good dinner. Our favorite beach eats are Rosie’s for her dry rub ribs but if we want to step it up a bit we go to Friars Bay Beach Cafe and if we really want to step it up we go to Anse Marcel Beach Restaurant though we haven’t been back since they reopened.
If you haven’t seen St. Bart’s at least once it’s worth the effort but bring lots of money. Personally speaking, I prefer Saba because it’s so different from what we think of in a Caribbean Island.
They offer yoga on the beach at El Zafiro but I have no specific details. This is a nice beach to spend a day and they offer free chairs with lunch and drink service on the beach.
So little time and so many great places at which to dine and experience.

Since you're staying at Green Key, you can do yoga classes on Orient Beach.

"El Zafiro has yoga on the beach". It ts at the far end (towards the airport terminal) of Simpson Bay Beach.
