St. Martin Trip May mmchaplin 4 hours ago Had a great stay this week in St. Martin. Haven’t been back since our honeymoon in 2007. That trip we stayed a Alamanda on Orient Bay. I was looking at staying on Orient Bay but the sargassum and wind was concerning. I booked last minute at LTC in Grand Case. Great small hotel albeit a little pricey, but het it’s my 60th birthday. Southwest now has a direct flight out of MCO to SXM for less than $500. Didn’t have to hassle with Miami thank god. I work in Miami and my office window looks over the Miami airport. We hit Mullet, Friars, Orient, Grand Case beaches. Orient just for a drink and look see. We also did one of those tourist charters on Boomerang to Anguilla and met some fantastic people. Saw the fireworks Wednesday night looking towards Anguilla. A friend from Orlando, Joe was a guest and invited us over but we passed. Had a great breakfast at Zee Best. A few LoLo lunches and dinners at Friars (Kali’s), Grand Case (Cynthia’s) and can’t remember the name in Marigot. Lovely dinner last night at Le Gourmand. My favorite spot was Ti Coin Creole and a drink at Grand Case Beach Club. May go there again tonight after heading to Friar’s for a second day. Fly out tomorrow, ahead of the motor bike races. All in all a great trip and already planning a sailing trip late January here with friends. If anyone has a line on a good charter company and captain, please let me know!

Shipping Company Advice TomSW 6 hours ago I'm looking for a reliable shipping company on St. Thomas to ship a medium sized box with chair parts in it from Wisconsin. I understand I may be shipping it through Miami or another location so it's really the leg from Florida to St. Thomas that I'm looking for. Any advice?

The Cliff? TwentySix Yesterday at 07:57 PM Hello everybody

I've been lurking on this forum for some years, appreciate all the news, reviews and hubbub here 🙂

We love the island, stayed several times at Princess Heights in Dawn Beach, now we love being in Cupecoy - tried Mullet Towers and Porto Cupecoy. Since we just decided to head down at the end of July/beginning of August, looking around for what's available, one of the possibilities is a two-bedroom Oceanfront at The Cliff. Does anybody have opinions about staying there? I see there's a little strip of beach in front of it, I imagine that it comes and goes? Has anybody been over that way recently to say if it's actually a beach that we can swim out from? Can you get to Mullet by walking through the Cupecoy Beach Club along their sidewalk from The Cliff?

We usually go to Mullet, unless there is seaweed or crazy loud boats in the water, then we drive around until we find somewhere suitable. For all the times we've been on the island we've never ventured into Mario's there on The Cliff property, heard mixed things about it besides being pricey. Our favorite is Bistrot Caraïbes and still head to the French side to eat most times. Any thoughts? Thanks for all the great info and pictures over the years!

Recommendations for airport transfer + driver for a day bethy2120 Yesterday at 03:29 PM Good morning! It's been a while since we last visited SXM and for this upcoming trip, I am taking my four 20-something nieces and nephews (what am I getting myself into!?). We are looking for transfer for 6 persons from the airport to Orient village and then someone we can hire for a day to visit other areas of interest on the island - any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Seems a floating barrier is in the works to slow down the sargassum from making to the shores of "our" island !!! We'll see???

InterCaribbean Air Baggage ?s Boulderboy 05/27/2026 04:58 PM I can't get a reading on which plane they fly on the SJU-EIS route so I can guess how much bin space there is, they say the carry on is very small not the usual roller bag. They give you one free checked
bag that is up to 50 lbs, they say. Has anyone dealt with this and it would be good to know if the check baggage check in and pick up process is actually carried out in a smooth way?
