We were in St. Maarten on March 6th. We have toured St. Maarten before. We wanted to just relax at the beach. We went by taxi to Divi Beach Resort. The taxi was $6 per person plus tip. We rented 2 lounge chairs and an umbrella for $15. The beach was great. The ocean was calm. It is a nice sheltered bay. My DH snorkled over by the rock cliffs. He saw a few fish. There was a small store where we bought some drinks. Nice bathrooms also available. They have a taxi stand on property. Taxi again $6
No. We asked the taxi driver and he said we didn't need to. We walked to the beach and purchased our chairs/umbrella for the day. You can't use the pool. It is for guests only. We did not go to the bar area. I went to the store and purchased drinks. We had a few ideas for the day depending on the weather. It was a beautiful day and we decided on a relaxing beach day. It was just what we needed.
