Looks like anyone (including Americans) staying in St. Barts (or other low risk areas) for 2 weeks before heading to St. Maarten will not need to have a test up on entry, but they would been tested before their trip to St. Barts and once in again after 7 days. I don't have that type of money though....
Travelers coming to St. Maarten from a low-risk country such as Anguilla, Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saba, St. Barths, St. Martin and St. Eustatius will be exempted from the mandatory RT-PCR test. “While we have indicated some countries as low-risk countries, this information is constantly being reviewed and may be subject to change if the situation in those countries changes,” said Panneflek
