TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin What’s the deal with hotels “below the hill” in St. Maarten?

I'm sorry, I don't know what "below the hill" means? And I don't know what hotels you are getting $700 a night for. And I'm not sure why you need someplace to stay if you have a studio in Cupecoy already? And generally you can't use the pool at a hotel where you are not staying.
