We would stay on the French side. That's where we always spend our time on day trips. I need someone who is familiar with planning a split stay between the French side of St. Martin and probably Anguilla. Transportation, accommodations etc. We are beach people and have done the basic island tours. I've thought about even doing a boat charter at the beginning of our stay as a way to see other islands and then doing a weeks land stay on St. Martin.

Before Irma, I was looking at staying in the Orient Bay/Grand Case area. We liked the beautiful beaches and different little bars and the laid back vibe. Now, that area of course isn't the same. We've been to most of the islands on cruises and we've done all-inclusive resorts. I need help planning something different.
