My wife and I just returned from our 2nd trip to St. Martin. Uneventful flight on American. A van from Unity picked us up just outside the airport exit. Michael gave us a new Toyota for 23.50 a day.
We stopped at Grand Marche on our way to Orient and picked up cold cuts, bread, beer, wine and snacks for a lot less than we expected.
Check in at the Esmeralda took 2 minutes and Chris brought us to a very nice Villa.
For the next 9 days we got up early, walked the beach, had breakfast and relaxed on the beach till sundown. The weather was perfect , mid 80s, lots of sun and not much wind. Water temp was about 85.
Restaurants -in no special order:
L'Astrolabe is excellent. Food, service, everything. Thomas and Amin are the best. We had dinner twice there and both times it was great.
Bay Watch- we had breakfast and lunch there a couple of times. All very good. Andy and Cheryl do a great job. One of our favorites.
Talk of the Town in Grand Case: Ribs, grilled fish, conch chowder, side and drinks $30.00 US. Very good food.
We had a great week. We meet some very nice people on the beach who made our time spent there a lot of fun. We are looking forward to our next trip there.
