ST MAARTEN

When you really need a break from life and are looking for
sun and fun, St. Maarten is perfect choice. Following is an
overview of a St. Maarten escape that will recharge your
batteries.

St. Maarten Escape

The island of St. Martin is located in the Caribbean Ocean,
and has the distinction of owned by two countries: France
and the Netherlands. Divided roughly in half, the French
side is known as Saint-Martin while the Dutch half is known
as Sint Maarten. Collectively, the island is known as St.
Maarten/St. Martin, or St. Martins.

The island was divided all the way back in 1648, and has
stayed that way ever since. When choosing to visit this
island, you have to make a decision whether to stay on the
French or Dutch side. Choosing the Dutch side means a fun
nightlife with beaches and casinos, so planning a St.
Maarten escape is natural for many visitors.

One of the classic spots to plan your St. Maarten escape at
is the Caravanseri Beach Resort, located on Burgeaux Bay.
This resort definitely shows all that St. Maarten has to offer
with three separate freshwater pools, tennis courts, and
many different water sports such as snorkeling, diving and
fishing. Duty-free shopping and other excursions make this
St. Maarten escape a great choice for people looking to
experience more of the island, and the newly built Dolphin
Casino offers gamblers a place to bet to their heart's
content. Three restaurants and bars are also located on the
Caravanseri Beach Resort premises making this a full
service resort that caters to all of your needs. 75 air
conditioned private rooms, all with balcony or patio, make
this resort complete.

Another place worth looking at for your St. Maarten escape
is the Summit Resort Hotel located on the Simpson Bay
Lagoon. This resort is the place if you want seclusion along
with an easygoing atmosphere. All of the rooms at the
Summit Resort are studio suites, and they are contained
within cottages that are placed on footpaths bordered by
tropical flowers and scenery. All rooms are air conditioned
and include balconies or porches, perfect for those relaxing
evenings. This resort is also just a short walk from two of the
best beaches on St. Maarten, Cupecoy Beach and Mullet
Bay Beach.

Choosing a St. Maarten escape means you will have the
unusual combination of European charm and Caribbean
hospitality, all in a lush tropical setting. While on the Dutch
half of the island, be sure to enjoy some time at the many
white sand beaches and bustling casinos, as well as do
some affordable duty free shopping.
