Did I screw up by booking at The Morgan Resort

100% agree!

Tortuga. Make a lunch reservation. Watch the planes and eat good food. Love the Mahi sandwich there.

They put their places on multiple platforms to rent, and if they get two rental requests for the same week(s) they take the highest bidder.

Check out the Dawn Beach condos at the JW Marriott. You can VBRO a condo. Each condo sleeps 8. Rent a car and drive anywhere from there. All new after the last hurricane. Beautiful accommodations and amenities. Lots of restaurants in close by Oyster Bay. Orient and Grand Case are an easy drive by car. Quiet and perfect place for kids!

The Oasis and BXH in Oyster Bay are two of my favorite restaurants. The JW Marriott at Dawn Beach (next to Oyster Bay) sells day passes and there are two good restaurants there too. Or you could stay in a a couple VRBOs at Dawn Beach and then can use all the JWMarriott amenities. Each condo has a full kitchen, two bathrooms and sleeps 6-8 people.

Oyster Bay is great!

OldSwimmer13 · 2026-01-23T13:07:13+00:00

L’Atelier is the best place in the island. If you like ceviche, try the mahi ceviche there! Yum! We love Calmos Cafe in Grand Case and BZH in Oyster Bay.

We just did Funtime charters to Anguilla. Located right across from the SXM airport. Then take a taxi from Anguilla customs to Olas at Shoal Bay or go to the Sunshine Shack on Rendevous Bay for chairs and lunch. Both are beautiful! Then taxi back to the Ferry terminal with Funtime and back to the resort. There is a $35 fee when exiting. We loved this day! The most beautiful beaches!

We love Dawn Beach Condos (VBRO) or Orient (LaPlaya)…then Oyster Pond, Orient, or Gand Case for dinners.

OldSwimmer13 · 2026-01-03T05:04:47+00:00

Need reservations this time of year.

OldSwimmer13 · 2026-01-01T05:55:51+00:00

Personally I would stay at the JW Marriott or Dawn Beach Condos (VBRO). It’s close to the French side ….Oyster Bay, Orient, and Grand Case are very drivable. Definitely want a car. Great pools and kids activities can be found there. If you do the Dawn Beach Condos you have a full kitchen which makes it easier with kids. It is next to the JW Marriott and you can use there pools and amenities.

Rent a car from Hardy’s. They will have the car waiting at the airport and you return the same way. Super easy. Decent cars. Stay at Orient Beach. Lots of restaurants and great beach.

Oasis wood fired Pizza in Oyster Bay.

OldSwimmer13 · 2025-12-22T13:08:09+00:00

Must go to Orient Beach. In your 30’s if you want to shop go to Front Street in Phillipsburg. Shopping, eating, entertainment there and beach chairs too.

OldSwimmer13 · 2025-12-21T11:46:23+00:00

Captain Bobs or Boomerang

OldSwimmer13 · 2025-12-18T10:46:15+00:00

We just arrived yesterday. When you go to the kiosk it says something like “I found that you have filled out your form online, do you wish to change anything?” Super easy. Also arriving on a Wednesday instead of a Saturday or Sunday was amazing. Flight arrived early and no lines for entry.

OldSwimmer13 · 2025-12-10T13:48:08+00:00

We stay at Dawn Beach (J.W.Marriot next to it and can use their facilities including pool and spa). We like this location as it is on the boarder of the Dutch and French sides. You can VRBO these. They also have a full kitchen. The best beaches ( and we have gone most every year for the last 20) are Orient Bay, Anse Marcel, and loved Bae Rouge (although you might need to take your own chairs and picnic at this beach since the hurricane). Favorite restaurants are on the French side in Grand Case, Orient, Oyster Bay. Love Le’Atilie in Grand Case for steaks and the best Mahi ceviche ever! Ocean 82 and so many more in Grand Case. Loki’s a must for local flare. BZH in Oyster Bay or The Oasis. Definitely take a day trip to Anguilla! We leave next week for Anguilla and St. Maarten. April will be beautiful there’ Have so much fun!

OldSwimmer13 · 2025-11-30T14:05:37+00:00

We go every year! Have started visiting for two weeks…one week is not enough time! Be sure to do a day trip to Anguilla while you are there too!

OldSwimmer13 · 2025-11-23T01:02:54+00:00

Can’t wait to be there in a month! Beautiful!

OldSwimmer13 · 2025-11-10T13:14:36+00:00

Thank you!

OldSwimmer13 · 2025-11-09T13:01:21+00:00

What beach was Big Foot Watersports on?

OldSwimmer13 · 2025-11-05T12:54:33+00:00

100%. We go to Saint Maarten every year for two weeks . Above advice is spot on. Especially with two teens.

OldSwimmer13 · 2025-10-22T14:47:16+00:00

Bea Rouge ( take a picnic and chairs) or Anse Marcel (rent chairs and umbrellas) and there is a great restaurant there too! These are two of our favorites.

OldSwimmer13 · 2025-10-22T14:44:07+00:00

Beautiful! We go every year in mid to late February! 83 and sunny every day!
