Flying down on Friday for 9 nights. Just received negative results here in Florida!!! Wondering where the testing facility closest to Orient Bay might be? We don't mind paying for the tests, but we do mind wasting half a day in getting tested. I know that there are pharmacies in Grand Case and Cul de Sac. Can we get tested there?

The quickest place is the airport on the day you are departing, I believe they still have a tent outside for that purpose. The most expensive, but people are reporting they are done in 15 minutes.

If you’re staying on the French side, you can get tested at the Red Cross behind McDonald’s in Marigot for free, 07:00-12:00 Monday - Friday. You can also pay for an Antigen test at the pharmacies, hours vary. Ask your French-side host/landlord.

We also did not want to waste a bunch of time and found the pharmacy in Hope Estates right beside Super U does it for $45, test and printed in 30 minutes. We will be doing this Thursday. The times are 1:00 to 3:30 and suggest signing up early as times were pretty well filled in 2 days ago.

Got our test for return to US last week at Sun Pham in Margot. No cost, took about two and a half hours. But, most of that time was spent having pastries at the old Sarfina’ location. Sign up at 8 test at 10 out by 10:30.

Are these testing sites only for travelers staying on the French side? Are there similar low cost/no cost options on the Dutch side?

Free testing only on French side with proof of residence or hotel/accomodation.

Talked to a couple by the pool at Flamingo yesterday that just got theirs free at a pharmacy in Marigot. The person didn't ask for where they were staying. Guess it might depend on who is doing the checking.
