St. Maarten
I own at flamingo beach and LOVE IT!! All the studios located in building 7 are on the beach. The staff is wonderful, always looking to please you . Plenty of restaurants within walking distance, casino , supermarket and bar all at resort. I would suggest renting a car for a couple of days to explore the island. Our favorite beach is karakters beach located 6 minutes from flamingo. Chairs and umbrellas are free just ask that you buy one drink. They are open for breakfast lunch and dinner and I recommened the coconut shrimp. This is a beach where you can take a long walkor just sit and watch the planes land and take off . But it's not sunset beach bar where they fly over your head. Many great restaurants in st. Maarten, you have right T resort bon a petite, bucchineer bar (very casual) bbb and watch a game, the stone very good small menu, then on the main road our favorite is Izi Italian restaurant. Also skip jacks, fusion and pine Apple petes. If you like to snorkel the best one is the rhino riders, a 2 1/2 hour jet ski type boat that takes you around the island to creole rock you snorkel (bring bread) and then drive back. PS you don't have to snorkel great way to see the island. We'll you never said when your trip was so I hope you get this before, and if not I am sure after being there you will be planning another trip back. Let us know what you thought.
