St. Maarten Posted on January 29, 2018by admin Beautiful island with lots of character and places to explore. It is less commercial than some other Caribbean destinations and may be less favored by those looking for a place where they can easily walk from their hotel or resort to a restaurant or shopping. St. Maarten requires transportation; though renting a car is doable, roads are significantly more narrow and winding compared to those in say, Aruba. Driving is not difficult; it just requires some comfort with gravel roads and limited signs to get around. For those willing to venture out a little bit out of their comfort zones, St. Marteen is a wonderful island. Share this:ShareTweet
