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.
