I have been going the end of October since 2007 everything is open and the weather is usually great. September most places are closed for the whole month on the French side

We live in Florida, so your mileage may vary, but I LOVE St. Martin in September/October. Some restaurants are closed, certainly, but you won't go hungry. You also won't need a reservation, pretty much anywhere. No problems with traffic jams. The water is WARM, which is totally lovely to me. You probably will need a/c to sleep at night (but I personally always do). The prices for hotels, cars, airfare, etc., will be at their cheapest that they are for the entire year. What's not to love??

We have gone in late September, as well as November, and love that time of year in SXM. We also go in June sometimes (like this year) and like that as well. It is warm but we are finding that we enjoy the low season very much. Some restaurants do close, mostly in September, but there are so many others to choose from. Plus there's less traffic and less waiting for a table at restaurants. As Carol says, what's not to love? The only thing I would recommend is trip insurance in case the weather doesn't cooperate. Go for it and enjoy!

We celebrate our wedding anniversary during the third week in October and for the last 5 or 6 years celebrate in St Martin. This year we celebrate our 40th anniversary and plan to celebrate there again. We too were there right after Omar, and again last year after Gonzalo came through on Monday, we flew in on Saturday. On all the previous trips, there has never been enough restaurant closing to affect the trips. Most of them start opening the first few weeks of the month. The water is warm, the island is not crowded, and the friends that we have made that are there during the same time of the year are the nicest people that you could ask for. We look forward each year to this time of year and help us extend our summer just a little longer. We have been to St. Martin on cruise stops many other times of the year, but October is our favorite time.
