St. Martin | Destination overview
A bit more than half the island is French St Martin. The remainder is Dutch St Maarten, complete with windmills and peope who don't take their dogs to restaurants as do the French. True, there aren't many windmills but the same can be said for Holland itself. There are beaches and sports to suit all tastes. You can shop till you drop, then get up again and shop some more. The bargains are everywhere because St Maarten is a truly duty-free, tax-free island.

HOTELS
Hoste Hotel - From its private beach, to its poolside terrace, from its
spacious junior suites to its unique beachside restaurant. L'Hoste
hotel is everything you could wish for in a Caribbean hideaway.
La Samanna Resort and Spa - Set beside St. Martin's finest beach, lapped by the
Caribbean Sea, La Samanna Resort and Spa is the ultimate luxury
resort. Constantly ranked among the Caribbean's top ten hotel
retreats, it is a garden paradise in which to enjoy an al fresco
massage, or lie in a hammock, lulled by the waves.
As at all
Le Flamboyant Hotel - Facing the calm waters of the lagoon, Flamboyant Hotel and
Resort is surrounded in beautifully landscaped tropical grounds
dotted with softly, swaying coconut trees, powdery soft-sand and
the warmly fragrant, Caribbean Trade Winds.
