We spent two weeks at Royal Islander Club La Plage recently and everyone suggested not to bother with a rental car because everything was right there at our finger tips and we wouldn’t need one. Well, they were right to a degree but we rented one anyway and personally speaking, I can’t imagine being anywhere on the island and NOT having a car at my disposal. And we used it a couple of times a day most days.

Everyone is different and has their own idea of what makes a trip perfect but a big part of the allure of SXM is the fact it’s one island you can freely travel without too many concerns. If you were content to stay in Grand Case, then maybe no car but if you have those other locations on your horizon a car is really the order of the day.
