We are booked to take our annual visit to St Martin in February but I have some concerns about safety on the island with respect to Covid 19.
Our rental property is in Orient Village so we will be spending most of our time in that area but will also travel throughout the island.
I would like to hear from those now in SXM or have recently visited the island, what your feelings have been?
Have you been comfortable with the precautions taken for Covid and did you feel safe?
Are most of the residents and tourists following these precautions? re: wearing of masks, sanitizing of hands and distancing?
Did you feel safe to go out to restaurants, grocery stores or shopping?
We were there from November 28th through December 12th and we thought we were safer there than at home. There are so few people that the restaurants were near vacant. The restaurants had people sanitize their hands, took their temperatures and and tables were spaced apart. People wore their mask up to the tables sand then took them off. The beach chairs were far apart. We have been home for three weeks and we see more problems here than in SXM.
