SINT MAARTEN - SAINT MARTIN Reading up on this island they say it provides vacationers the opportunity to enjoy three distinct cultures on one 37 square mile island. There is the delightfulness and soberness of the Dutch on one side, the savoir-faire of the French on the other, and the blending of both with exotic native heritage.
However having said that I didn't find the island particularly attractive and will be on the bottom of list of place to go in the future. A tourist trap in my opinion, but we were there for just a few hours and maybe we needed to be there for a couple of days.
