We had another great trip to St. Martin!<br><br>Spent the first week at Royal Palm (our first stay on the Dutch side). Enjoyed it very much (convenience, 110 outlets, TV, easy acces to internet, etc) and the actual accomodations were outstanding. Our preference however is still the French side (seems more exotic or something!).<br><br>Second week at Captain Olivers. Unique and delightful! Would definitely stay there again. The beauty is spectacular! Room was nice and the "garden type setting" with small zoo, was quite fun.<br><br>Went to favorite beaches again (Happy, Orient, Pinel, Baie Rouge, Cupecoy, Dawn) and favorite restaurants (Tasevin, Le California, Sebastiano, Cote Plage, Cheri's, Boathouse, etc.) New favorite restaurants: L'Escale, Le Galion, Agnes. In fact, L'Escale is our new top place to eat!<br><br>Rented car from Fortuno. Car was fine, but probably wouldn't rent there again.<br><br>Weather was great! No problem at all with French/American relations. Took several boat trips including St. Barth and Rhino Riders. Overall, had a great time and met lots of nice people!<br><br>Husband has updated our photo page which probably best "tells the story" of our trip. The link is below! Again, thanks for all the ideas, suggstions and tips from the good people of this board.<br><br>Karin
