Your Saint Martin Vacation Itinerary

  • Day 2: Pick up the keys to a rental car and cruise around the island. Stop off at Loterie Farm then head to Quartier D’Orléans, a seaside village on the eastern coast.

  • Day 3: Don’t head home without savoring a sumptuous meal in Grand Case, known for its gourmet French cuisine. Time your visit to catch a glimpse of the elusive “green flash” as the sun sets over the ocean.

"Everything was wonderful but the house keeping. When asked for service they did a very poor job. They didn’t change the sheets and didn’t replace all of the towels. They also left food service trays in the hallway for two days. The rest of the staff was very nice and the pool and live music was great! ..."
