Saint Martin Travel Blogs

St. Martin had allot of diversities. It's like little Europe in the Carribbean. There are so many different nationalites living harmoniously together. The Airport as well as the Cruise ships are situated on the Dutch side of the island. Along with the Casinos, Nightclubs and lots of shopping in the…

Well it was our last day here. Though it was a short trip, the easy rhythm of the Island, the relaxation of laying in the sun and being lulled to sleep by the sound of the gentle waves of the caribbean sea was exactly what I needed to destress and regroup.

The road turned in from the coast and before long we crossed the border. St. Martin has been divided into Dutch and French territories since 1648. An obelisk at the border commemorates 300 years of peace in 1948. Saint-Martin is distinctive from Sint Maartin. It's less built up for one thing.…

i spent one of the most memorable week ever!!! beaches,sun, lobster and lot of relax.

We woke up to rainy, stormy weather.  It really wasn’t a pleasant morning on the ship.  Dan and I attended stretch class with Joanne from Australia, who was just awesome.  We all tried to do top deck “walk-a-mile” but we were rained out.  Instead, we all went to deck 4, wa…

I got ready to go to the North of the Island, i hitch hiked for a little while and a lady brought me to Marigot :)... what a views from the road! The girl told me that the people don´t grow any product on the island, so most of the people work in tourism, restaurants, hotels, or sel…

Day #1 - Well after the loooong flight, with stops in Minneapolis and Charlotte, I finally arrived in St. Martin! After picking up our teeny tiny rental car and squeezing all of our (mostly my) luggage into the back seat, we were off in search of our hotel. The maps have no street names, because th…

In 2006/2007 I lived in Nevis, a small Caribbean island. I did an internship for my study Sports, Management & Business. That was definitely the time when I fell in love with the Caribbean culture. I also visited the islands St. Martin, Anguilla and Dominica.

Week long pre-Christmas cruise with a day in San Juan.

A glimpse into my world travels working and for fun.

This was our second visit to St. Martin, and we decided to go to a different beach.  Orient Beach was the obvious choice.  It is considered to be one of the top beaches in the Caribbean.  It is also clothing optional, but that doesn't bother us.  We grabbed a taxi and went on o…

The island is about 37 square miles in area and is divided in two parts. The southern part, St. Maarten, is part of the Netherlands Antilles and its port, largest city and capital is Phillipsburg. I don't really like "P-burg" very much. It's very crowded and, of course, "touristy". Traffic is crazy…

Today we made a very brief visit to the island of St. Maarten, the island has two sides the other is Dutch.   We docked on the French side.  Since we did not take an excursion, and did not have enough time to explore on our own we walked into the Oceanside town.  The town is not…

This is a brief summary of some of my travels through the years...In the past I have wanted to have one of my traveling companions in each photo...It seems to me that it makes the photos more meaningfull and more interesting....In the future I will make a better effort to document my travels...Travel Buddy has given me inspiration for better documentation...

Sometimes a split personality isn’t necessarily a bad thing.  In the case of St. Martin, the schizophrenia can be crazy, but hey, crazy can be good.  Sint Maarten/Saint Martin is the smallest island in the world that is governed by dual sovereign states, divided nearly equally between F…
