Greetings SXM experts <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />!

We are making plans for a one way sail from Antigua to St. Maarten in May. Making final deal on the boat, now looking for info on both edges of the trip. Will more than likely have lots of questions. Have done BVI many times, and Grenada St. Vincent once.

We are thinking about staying the first night by SXM airport, before catching a hop to Antigua via LIAT the next morning for a sleep aboard.

1. Any recommendations for a nice place by SXM for the first night? Safe, close and some nice eateries around?

We are also thinking we may stay in in St. Maarten for two or three nights when we turn the boat back into Horizon at their St. Maarten base.

2. Any suggestions for a short after sail stay in St. Maarten?

We will need to fly out of St. Martin, SXM I'm pretty sure.

Will start to review the trip reports.

Thanks!
