HONEYMOON BEACH WATER ISLAND PICTURES
Which part of St. Maarten is the best to visit?
My fiance and I are looking to go to St. Maarten for our honeymoon and we were wondering which part of the island is best? Somewhere with a beautiful beach, nice water, nice hotel and great shopping and culture. Pictures would be great if anyone has actually been there! Thanks a bunch! 
I was there Feb. 2005. Had a blast, would love to go back. I stayed at my Uncle’s timeshare, right by the airport… .Can’t remember the name of it though…. Something Royale…. I think Carribbean Royale or something…. But anyways, there is an actual hotel right next store that work together (share same pools and stuff)…. Although no matter where you stay, the island is small enough to do your own exploring, I recommmnend to stay where I did…. Right by the airport, so excellent views…. (Right of passage is to stand right at the fence by the water when the big jets are going off, and then let the air blow you in the water when they take off…. Lemme tell ya, the sand hurts like a b*tch!!!!)
But they also have Sunset Beach Bar right next door, highly recommended…. Great music, and great atmosphere…. Ladies drink free if topless, and I thought it was just going to be a bunch of horny women running around w/ their lesbian friends or whatever, but it defintely wasn’t…. A lot of fun!!!
Also, definitely have to go to Cheri’s (not sure of spelling) restaurant…. Excellent entertainment…. When we went there the Black Elvis was performing, lmao…. And several other things, i forgot what, but they really kept the audience entertained and involved… Oh yeah, they called up a few guys and had them dress in hula skirts and stuff, it was really kinddda funny, you had to be there, but seriously, everybody I’ve ever talked to about st. martins agrees w/ me, this place is a must!!!!
Also, Orient Beach as previously stated (It’s not all nude, you have to walk several miles down. Great family beach) My hotel actually provided a bus there… and shopping in Philipsburgh, Dutch Side is a must.
Somebody else mentioned taking boat to Angulla…. Definitely recommended. My hotel offered a trip there, I think $150, and included a swim w/ the dolphins, as well as spending the day on the beach (and no, beach is not a beach, even compared to st. martins, anguillas beach was pure white sand, absolutely beautiful…) and also included lunch/snacks and stuff, so I thought that was worth it, just to swim w/ the dolphins — Once in a lifetime opportunity, go for it!!!!
Also scuba diving/snorkeling…. I did try the scuba diving in the hotel pool, but I didn’t really have the money to do the full thing…. Next time I go down, I think I”m going to do it…. Even the beginner dives are suppossed to have excellent views of underwater life…
Also, my hotel offered a tour of the island. Definitely take advantage of that, if offered, cuz they show you the history of the area, as well as some of the more off-beat areas you may miss driving yourself around. And now you don’t have to rent a car, either (in which they drive wrong side of the road and stuff, ick). My tour actually stopped where we could pick our own cotton (technically you’re not suppossed to, lol…. but it was a cotton plant, and we pulled the cotton off…..)
Anyways, I’m sure no matter where you choose, you’ll have a great time…. Any questions, please ask
