I am not totally sure, sometimes places will not update their handwritten "custom conversion rates" to be correct. But if you use a credit card that will give you the actual rate. I don't think Anse Marcel ever offered a discount like some other places if paying with cash. anse marcellink

CC--It is an expensive day, for sure. We generally spend $200 for one day, and do not go all out at all. If the weather is good, it is hard to beat a day there, but it is an expensive day. If you go, you need to make a reservation for lunch and see if you can make a reservation for one of their beach cabanas. That is the ultimate experience, to me. IF you are only two people, you may not be able to get a cabana this time of year, unless it's like a birthday or wedding anniversary celebration day.

Many people do not understand how expensive a trip to SXM is for us Canadians. The exchange rate makes everything so much more expensive than those who can use US currency at par. With prices escalating each year, travelling is definitely a luxury to be enjoyed!

A nice easy lunch that's affordable is Rancho Del Sol, which is on the way coming from Hope Estate to Orient Beach. Its on the left of the road, overlooking the beach. LINKThey have daily specials at 14€, posted on their social media.

It's got to be for a VERY special occasion to spend the day at that beach!! Besides having to have DEEP pockets, you have to have a car that is part billygoat to climb that hill and back!!! No one thought about drilling a tunnel??? LOL!!!
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

We are considering going to this beach for the first time. Does they charge 1 usd at par with the euro at the beach bar. No. The bill shows both Euro and USD. I agree with others it's expensive but worth every penny. I usually spend around $100/day and try to go weekly during my five-week stays. I love the beach for its beauty and (usually) calm waters.
