larry the lobster Posted May 18, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Leaving to go on the Explorer in June. We are going to St Maarten. What excursion is best to do there? But we only want a short one because we would like to shop there also. And does anyone know what time the shops close? We will be there from 12:00 - 9:00 pm. Thanks for any help!

hawkshoe Posted May 18, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I am not sure what time they close, but I want to let you know that if you are there on a Sunday, most of the shops (except the open air market) on the French side are closed. We found this out the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help you with store times....but, if you are shopping downtown Philipsburg, stop in at Antoine's restaurant and order the Lobster salad... This place has been oceanfront dining in a cozy, small, intimate place for 40 years. Best view and salad is incredible!!!! Also, check out the Passangrahan hotel lobby.. Another gem that's been there forever. Great hotel, great bar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
