A new kind of island life – started off, as in almost all Caribbean islands, with simple kind of accommodation like family guesthouses. ‘Simple’ is no longer the right description nowadays. Spending vacation in a guesthouse (or equal) signifies spending vacation among friends, do not be surprised to be welcomed and hosted in the manner of being part of the family. You will find authenticity, the best insider tips, and very often you’ll be invited to share your hosts dinner table, at least for an ‘aperitif’.
Bungalows, Cottages, Guesthouses, Apartments on St. Martin / Sint Maarten offer usually good value for the money. They are in general well-equipped, renovated, well kept, and ranging from basic to luxury. Settings are often spectacular, for example right on the Simpson Bay Beach or the Nettle Bay Beach, with breathtaking views on pristine waters and white sandy beaches, surrounded by lush vegetation in tropical gardens. Vacation like a millionaire for affordable rates! Starting as low as 80 US Dollars per night, in many cases no minimum stay required, there are many reasons to choose an alternative to populated resorts. Living takes place in general outside on a protected terrace, and hosts are easygoing and very helpful. Many owners are speaking several languages, and communicating is no problem on Sint Maarten. It can be sometimes helpful though to have just a little knowledge of French when staying in St. Martin. Choosing a bungalow, cottage, apartment for your holiday means at the same time being involved in local life style…. Self-catering and cooking might be an argument. Super markets are widely spread all over the island. On St. Martin you will have the chance to buy all French ‘goodies’, wine and cheese, delicious duck liver, and all ingredients to prepare an authentic French ‘diner’. Sint Maarten has a big variety of all European and American groceries. No cooking – no worries… you are surrounded on either side with all kind of restaurants.
