The water is as blue as ever, the beaches are clean and beautiful. The trees and businesses are making a speedy comeback. Yes, SXM is Open! Irma knocked us down, but St Maarten / Sint Martin is strong and we are building back!
If you are thinking of visiting St Maarten / Sint Martin, now is a great time. Many of your old favorite restaurants are open again, and there are also some fabulous new favorites. Large resorts are opening or announcing their opening dates, and more and more airlines are resuming their old schedules.
Many properties and businesses are not only building stronger, but building with a renewed passion for St Martin, her people, and her fragile environment. Some worthy projects to check out are the Birding & History tours offered by Seagrape Tours, the rebuilding of Loterie Farm (The pool is OPEN!!), and the Association Les Fruits De Mer who are working to reopen their Amuseum in a bigger location.
It is sometimes hard to find shore excursion and restaurant reviews which have been published since Irma. SXM Cooks has a great collection of restaurant and activity reviews written since the Hurricane of 2017.
