From our experiences there is little to no reason to exchange US or CN dollars for Euros. We sometimes find it most advantageous to charge on the French side using a cc that does NOT charge a conversion fee and gives you the best daily rate for conversion from Euros to dollars but we generally only do this if the charge is significant. A day at Anse Marcel is one place we always use this approach since it tends to become a very pricey day there between chairs, food and drinks.
Respectfully,

SXM to me is the Dutch side, which actually is locked into the US dollar at a constant rate. For the French side, right NOW, pretty much the Euro is almost 1 to 1, pretty much everywhere we have been.
So, don't worry about it. Pay with dollars or a credit card, charged in dollars or Euros. The final price is going to be very little difference.

Exchange rate is now appr. 1E = $1.04. Hardly worth the effort.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.
