We always stay on Dutch side and most of our activities and meals are on Dutch side. Just became more familiar with it and find it easier for us. We do make one trip over to French side to check out a beach or to show newbies around, but The Dutch side is when we land.

Always stay on french side. Maybe 60 (french) /40 (dutch) in terms of time on each side during the day.
Usually spend at least one day at Divi Little Bay. One day in Philipsburg, shopping, visiting front street museum, walking around. Often at least part of a day at Dawn - and usually do an excursion with Capt Alan. Sometimes, but not as much in recent years, take boat excursions from dutch side Simpson Bay/Lagoon - Celine, Random Wind, others - usually eat dutch side if took boat excursion from there.
If cruising with port of call in Philipsburg, almost always head immediately to Orient - may spend a little time in Philipsburg before getting back to ship.

We used to divide our stay with accommodations on the Dutch and French side. Now that we stay much longer,we prefer the Dutch side for accommodations and night life, and spend most beach days on the French side.We enjoy the entire island and appreciate the differences of both sides. To only enjoy one side seems a real shame to me when two different countries can be enjoyed in one vacation!
