Do they have amenities there?

 

$25 for 4 drinks, 2 chairs, umbrella, wifi, clean washrooms and a fresh water shower. They also have a killer restaurant. You can eat on your beach chair or in their open air restaurant It is a hotel that also caters to the cruise folks.

Thanks for the heads up. We have seen turtles but nothing else over the years. 

 

HH has been our go to for at least 10 years. 

It was our first time at St Maarten. What a beautiful place!

 

Maxine's had great food, by the way.

Andrew is the street where are the stores were before the hurricane rebuilt fairly well yet? Are there quite a lot of shops like there used to be? I never see many pictures of that main shopping district any more. Thanks!

Holland House sounds nice.  Once you get off the water taxi how do you get there?  Thanks!

Gives you the sense, without the reality.

Their menu. Food porn to come.

Looks like a great beach day.   We stopped and met the Yoda guy when we were there in November.  Interesting guy.  

[Clarea]

I think that wine list precludes John & Laura from visiting there.

[A&L_Ont]

If you want something unique go with Bitterballs. The Dutch really know how to make great balls. Some might say these balls have an acquired taste. 

 

[A&L_Ont]

Spring rolls, chicken, and cesar salad. 

 

 

Beef, and bread. 

 

[kag19]

Now I’m hungry... 🤤

[jaspercat]

that lunch sure looks good and I'll trade you my kale salad for it!

 

Beautiful sunset pics.

And now for Breaking News.... Kankle Watch 2019. 

 

Current Status.... all good. 

 

Loving your review so far. We're on the Allure for March break - looking forward to it. Did the Oasis a few years ago so hoping it will feel familiar when we board. My husband is always on the lookout for his kankles too :)

To match the food, here is the forecast. 

 

 

and at home.

Are we sure that Andrew isn't a clandestine Royal Caribbean ambassador with these reports? Sending him to the Caribbean in the dead of winter, far from the polar vortex, to sit on a beach and remind us how much better life is on a cruise...

 

The RC website is one click away...

 

LOL

Not at all. It is best to splash, than not to spash.  

Not true!

[Yorkvillain]

[PhoenixCruiser]

Owen would love this. 

 

Hi Andrew just got caught up with your review excellent as always, I see the weather is great in St. Maarten wish I was there now since it's a balmy  -12 here. Love those maple cream cookies picked up 3 boxes last May when I was in that tourist trap city of Niagara Falls. Drink a Miami Vice for me since I wont be able to have one until our cruise on the Symphony in October.
