We have it booked through an independent tour company. I haven't paid yet and can cancel up to two days before. We'll have to take a taxi over there. Thank you in advance.☺️ It is extremely safe and there is no need to book it through an independent tour company. Just head over and rent chairs and umbrella. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleYiaYia Posted January 29, 2020 #27 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Your taxi ride to Divi Little Bay Resort will take all of 5-7 minutes and cost you $6/pp each way. In fact, when standing in front of the resort you can see your ship across the bay. No need to book with a tour company. When you arrive just head down to the beach and there will be an attendant there to rent chairs and umbrellas. There will be taxis waiting when you get ready to leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnorkelAway Posted January 30, 2020 #28 Share Posted January 30, 2020 You will be perfectly safe at Divi Little Bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.A. Posted January 30, 2020 #29 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Thanks everyone for your info..very helpful. I will probably just cancel my tour then. I did find out that even with the tour your not allowed in the pool area unless you are a hotel guest. So that was a bummer. Glad to know it is a safe area. Thanks for sharing.👍😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t quote us that much (think it was $25) but I tipped extra because I wanted to make sure he would come back at a pre-arranged time to take us back to the ship and when he showed at the exact time I tipped him even more on the way back. $20 for two loungers and an umbrella. We love Rainbow, it’s our go-to in SXM. Great info - did you reserve your loungers in advance? Just walk off the ship and grab the nearest cabbie? Thanks...

Just walk off the ship and grab the nearest cabbie? Thanks... No reservations. Just got off the ship (waited for the mad rush off the ship right at first call to end, so maybe an hour after docking) and went past the lines at the taxi stand because we didn't want to sit in a van waiting for it to fill up, even if it saved a few $$$. One of the guys selling tours just past the vans said he'd find us a car taxi after we told him we just wanted a ride straight to Grand Case. Five minutes later we were in a car. I think if you walk out of the port area you're more likely to find a taxi but someone else may chime in on the best place to actually catch one...we may have just gotten lucky (when his first guy didn't want to take us, we just started walking down the street towards town....he chased us down about 100 yards later saying he found one). I'd head out to Grand Case earlier rather than later. Around lunch time it's a popular place for tours to stop (we had a couple tour boats and a couple vans worth of people stop by around then) so it may be tougher to get good loungers at that time. But I don't recall it ever being really full. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EeyoreRN Posted February 11, 2020 #32 Share Posted February 11, 2020 DH and I are considering booking a week at the not-yet-opened Secrets in Anse Marcel. Can anyone here offer any thoughts about this property or area? There are no guest reviews, as it doesn't open until March. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted February 24, 2020 #36 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hello folks, scanned the thread, I may have missed it, but the taxis from the cruise port are operating normally, specifically to Orient and the French side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
