I actually don't know what the cost would be for one chair and an umbrella. They normally do 2 chairs and an umbrella. Probably $15 for one chair and an umbrella. Depending on the season, they do a week pass which is cheaper, but since you're going in March, may not be available then. No drink service at the chairs. You have the Perch bar there, for walk up service. Or, most people bring a small cooler with drinks and possibly some food, which it totally allowed on Club O beach. Much more economical.

Chair rental does kind of go up and down, depending on the season, but he says he's going in March, so price should be probably $15-20 for one chair.
BTW, Wahfried, if you don't know the procedure, just go find a chair that isn't occupied, by either a person or a towel, and plop down. The chair guys will come around eventually to collect. It may be an hour or two, but don't worry, they will come eventually. Make sure you have cash (US dollars is fine), as they do not take credit cards, I don't think. Never tried to pay with a card at the Perch either, but perhaps they take cards? I have no idea.

I don't understand the question, they rent chairs and umbrellas, yes. I guess you could rent one without the other, although most people rent both.

Hello Wahnfried - Although I haven't seen your other questions, I appears that you'll be on the island as a single person. I travelled to SXM as a single male in February 2023. Rather than rent from the beach chair vendors, I rented a single chair, umbrella and cooler from Craig, the owner of Pack Light. Via email in advance, we made arrangements to meet (we met at McDonalds Simpson Bay). Would I do it again? HECK YES! I had more flexibility, and paid less money (I think it was $40 for all three items). I saved money on drinks, too! The cooler was a hard-side Igloo cooler. The kind where the top tilts to the side. Perfect size. The only downside is you'll have to schlep that stuff to any beach you visit. For me, a small price to pay. For some, that's a significant inconvenience that they won't want to deal with. Johnny Thinwallet doesn't mind at all...

The going rate is $25 for two chairs with an umbrella. We met a single traveling lady that rented daily and paid 15 for a chair and umbrella.

Bill: This is good advice too. I'll look into that option. I'll have a car and will assess the schlepage when I get there Give Boomhauer my regards.

Sunfun--you only have to have it happen to you once, to make you know better.
