TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Random questions

Although we've been going a few years now, I always have questions...so here we go, for those willing to entertain me. It's always appreciated.

For a mid March trip, how early are you booking restaurants and specific beach days? We've never been in March. Last year we did January for the first time and were woefully unprepared in the reservation department. We typically have gone late April or later.

Where are the lolos in Marigot? I thought I read some months back that they were all closed for rebuilding, but I saw a YouTube video stating that they were relocated (but no description of where that might be). Where do you park?

What is your favorite restaurant on the marina in Marigot that is open for lunch? Again - is parking obvious / easy? We have spent very little time in Marigot but hope to change that this year. We don't mind a walk, but just curious on where to go/ be.

What's your favorite spa experience? Not looking for the lady who comes to you to do massages, but an actual spa. So far I've tried L'Esplanade and La Playa and both, while very different, were nice. I'm interested to know where else to try.

Thank you!

With regard to March, the closer to Regatta, the busier the restaurants will be so I would book several days out when possible.
