My wife and I have visited St. Martin twice via cruise ships making a stop. We've only had time to hit up Orient Beach area each time for just a handful of hours. I'm looking for some advice. My wife and I plan on renting a car and exploring the island as much as we can. This being said, I'm not sure paying the money for an all inclusive resort is the best plan of action when we plan on visiting numerous beaches around the island, and probably eating out. I know the hurricanes came through and did plenty of damage to the island, does anyone have any advice on a resort that is back to normal and they've had a great experience at?
