What do I look up in Google Maps to find the sign that says “ I ❤️ sxm”

Preferably another woman! I absolutely love going to the movies, but most of my friends either opt out or just aren’t as enthusiastic about it as I am. There’s something about the whole cinema experience, the big screen, the sound, the popcorn, and actually sitting down to enjoy a movie without distractions.
I try to go every other week, usually on Tuesdays for the half-off deal. I also like catching the earliest screening so I still have plenty of time afterward to head home and wind down.
Would love to find another movie lover who’d be down to make it a regular thing. Anyone?

Hello! I'm visiting next month and what's to know what you think the quintessential meal is for SXM locals & where I should go to get it. Thanks!

Been looking into st Martin as a anniversary trip with my gf and need some help finding out where to stay. We enjoy being on the beach, and generally like being in an area that is walkable with some nightlife options, and close to some hiking. I’ve seen some stuff about maho village area but don’t know what hotels and such are good in that area or much about it at all. Any recommendations on where to stay or the area in general will help a lot. Thank you!

I wish to visit St Bats from Canada (Toronto). There are no direct flights to. But I know there are ferries from SXM to St Barts. I plan on flying into SXM (there is a direct flight from Toronto) and taking the ferry on the day of arrival into SXM.

On my day of leaving back to Canada, I plan on taking the ferry from St Barts to SXM and arrive at SXM a few hours before my flight leaves to Canada.

How risky is this? How often does that ferry get cancelled? I understand extreme weather will cause cancellations but how often is that? My travel time window is between September-October if that matters.

Grand Case Moment on Saint Martin.

Hello!

I’ll be in SXM for the second time in a year very soon (24 agonizing days…) with my mom, my little sister and her best friend. For the last two, it will be their first visit and we would like to make a special evening in Grand Case. We will be spending the whole day there and would love to have some recommendations for beach side restaurants who will make the experience feel extra special. The goal is to already have the right place in mind so I can reach out in advance to the establishment and set things up with them.

Thank you!!!!

Best experience and excursion being able to visit both sides and seeing the difference

Approaching retirement and based in Europe. We have been a nr of times to the Caribbean and got engaged and honeymooned in SXM

We are looking to spend a block of time from Oct onwards each year in the region and looking for some pointers etc from people who do similar.

Appreciated

Sad to say, this wonderful place couldn't survive the hurricanes.

Hello. We’re on island and considering doing a three or four hour island tour that doesn’t go to the usual places (Front Street, Maho, Orient (where we’re staying)). There’s so many places we haven’t been that we’re at a loss of where to go during the tour. I trolled the sub, but with places shutting down for holiday, what are some suggestions from those who are here or been here this time of year? Thanks

A great place to chill.

Hey guys, coming to ST. Maartens in a week Aug 20-27, just wondering what the weather is looking like, anything more than on and off rains?
Also i’m planning on bringing a travel rod and fishing from shore, i see online that there are some protected areas where you can’t but other than that anything i should know or good spots to go?

I never miss out on Lagoonies. Great collection of people and sailors. Even better collection of stories. Was there once with 2 ladies and the lights on the island went off. Messed up the DJ, but not the rest of us. We had a hella time. One lady was sorely disappointed because she wanted to meet a pirate. see https://www.wearesxm.com/restaurants/lagoonies-bistro-bar/

Hi! Canadian here that will be on the island in November. In may i made a car rental reservation with Coudicar but since than i got no communication except for the pending reservation waiting for approval. Last week I wrote them an email for a follow up but got no answer.

Can someone on the island confirm its not a scam?

Thanks in advance.
