TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Any issues with credit cards currently

We will be arriving in SXM in week very excited to be going again this year with adjusted expectations.

Is the interenet connections stable - or are there still issues using a credit card at establisments? I understand it can happen , but as of now - should we plan to use the credit card, or plan for mostly cash?

As we will be there for the superbowl, is the reception for TV reliable?

We will be staying in the Simpson Bay area. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Don't know about the credit card question.

Regarding TV, my understanding is that SXM Cable is NOT operational. So, I'm thinking that you may need to go to a beach bar or somewhere else that has satellite TV for the Super Bowl. I don't know whether the Super Bowl is lived streamed on the internet somewhere that you could get it or not, at your place where you're staying (unless your place has satellite TV) .

No problem with credit cards.
