We found the entirety of our stay on the Dutch side of Sint Maarten wonderful. Taxis at the resort were readily available and reasonable. Be smart and pull up the cruise schedules and plan your trips outside the resort around lighter days. Definitely take a speedboat to Anguilla.

Philipsburg is a fun town with lots of restaurants and shops. Offcourse the boulevard too.
It is like Zandvoort aan zee but a lot warmer ;)
So yes it can be a bit crowdy when there are more than one CruiseShip there. Place for more cruiseships makes that a lot of tourist get ashore and that can be up to 5000 people pro cruiseship. Offcourse they do not all come to Philipsburg but it can get a little crowdy very tourist place to be.
Without the cruiseships Philipsburg still got her own caracter as a small town. On sunday catholic church you can hear people sing and pray.
You can join in entrance is at the backstreet of the boulevard.
You still see some damages made by Hurricanes but they are building and restoring and in 2025 they think they will be ready.
Nice people
Good place to be

lovely beach but have to pay for loungers/umbrellas unless staying at hotel with beach access.
many many shops with staff in street trying to get you to buy, aimed at cruise ship passengers, too much hassle for our liking. unable to walk and sightsee due to constant sales interruptions.
traffic congestion

The island is still recovering from previous hurricanes, it is very safe to move about on your own. The people are strong and hopeful. They are friendly, displaying kindly smiling faces. Local food is so good and easy to get. Shopping is limited mostly to beautiful jewelry, cigarettes, and alcohol at below US prices. Everyone speaks English. Lots of beautiful beaches and water activities to enjoy.

Philipsburg was awesome.
Philipsburg was awesome. If you're looking for a party nightlife, stop reading. Philipsburg is not for you. However, if you're looking for a nice relaxing vacation, then Philipsburg is your place. The Boardwalk is wonderful. You can rent a beach chair for a fee and drink minimum, which isn't so bad because you can lay, drink, and eat there all day. I went to St. Maarten for the SCUBA Diving, so I would dive in the morning and relax in the afternoon. However, please be aware that bars and restaurants close EARLY. Like most of them close at 5 or 6 because that's when the cruise ship tourists go back to the boat. There are a few bars and restaurants open later. The Chinese food places in town definitely stay open a lot later. Front Street offers shopping and the Yoda Guy Museum as well as the Guavaberry Emporium.
You also can take public transportation anywhere. Including to and from the airport for $2.00 US each way. The public transportation buses are simply minivans with signs in the bottom of the front windshield, that say, "MAHO" or "St. Peters," or "French Q" or "Ps'Burg" or wherever you are planning to go. The bus stop is literally a four minute walk from the airport and there's a sidewalk to the street that leads you right there. Otherwise, a taxi is $20.00 per person regardless of how many people are in the taxi.
I would recommend going to MAHO Beach and watch the planes. Grab some lunch from the Sunset Bar & Grill and then go to the beach and watch the planes. You can even stand behind an Air Bus and get blown away as it takes off. I know, it sounds maniacal, but it actually is fun. If you're keeping score at home, yes I did get behind an Air Bus as it took off, but did NOT get blown over or into the sea.
Five Stars for Philipsburg.

The town is still in the recovery mode from the 2017 Hurricanes. Most of the shops are re-opened for business, but the effects of the storms are still evident. It was disappointing to note the lower level of activity on the boardwalk after dark. Our favorite restaurant, IL' Escargot is still closed on front street, with no signs of renovation activity.
The location and property itself are absolutely amazing. The Main pool area which has 3 pools & hot tub was also very very beautiful. The gym was small but equipped with all the main machines, also a plus.
Loved that they have a mini market on site which also carries all the main products you could wish for.
The resort was also a 10 min car/taxi ride to the main shopping center at Philipsburg.
The ladies at the Amsterdam Cafe were also very wonderful and most pleasant !!!! Great Cappuccinos !!!!
It is in the heart of Philipsburg, easy 20-25 minute taxi ride from Princess Juliana Airport (SXM). Restaurants and stores are all around withing walking distance. Very large room, well-quipped as advertised. Proprietor Andrae is very responsive and easy-going. 30 seconds or less walk to the sand, right along the boardwalk. 1 level up from street, short stairway walk. The view from your balcony is priceless. Buses (vans) are inexpensive and easy to catch and get around. Very good value.
We booked the hotel because we were going on a cruise and hotel was near the cruise port. It also is a beachfront property and borders the promenade that extends along the shore in both directions. Being in the center of Philipsburg, the hotel is close to shops, restaurants and bars. We had a waterfront room, which was quiet at night, but we can't comment on the noise factor in the rooms on the street side. Our room was very nice with a great view of the sea and the bed was comfortable.
Beautiful location and sea view.
Apartments are well equipped, modern clean and spacious. Infinity pool is nice to cool down.
Liz and her team are doing a great job to keep everybody satisfied.
It is in a remote area so I recommend a rental car. Traffic at the Island during the day is quit busy however you can reach al the nice beaches within 30 min. And Marigot/Philipsburg and Simpson bay within 15 min. Nice restaurant (Indigo bay) at 2 min drive or 10 min walk.
Ideal position on sea front. Our room was deluxe sea view with great view of the ocean and beach. Bed very large and most comfortable. Inclusive breakfast very good choice and dinner excellent. We would rate this hotel at 4+. and will certainly stay here on future trips to St Maarten
A cute apartment with a deck facing the wild coast of the Caribbean. It is situated in a residential neighbourhood about 3km from the boardwalk in Philipsburg. A 3 km hiking trail to Guana bay is very close by. Edgar was easily accessible and made good suggestions.
The Location was beautiful! Right on the beach and in a quiet location but close enough to get to the attractions in St Maarten. It was great waking up to that view on a daily basis. I would definitely stay here again.
The rooms are new inside, and ours was clean and comfortable for a short stay. We had a problem with the aircon in our room, but they solved the problem quickly. The hotel is within walking distance of Phillipsburg.
Place in a room for 40usd was the cheapest one at that moment. It is well situated in Front Street, close to beach and in town of Philipsburg. Owner is friendly and helpful. Recommended
The place was very nice and well laid out . Owner Louis and wife made us feel like family. This place will definitely be my home away from home when travel to St Maarten
Hotel room was on the beach, the beach itself, the swimming pools and Éline at réception who was so smiley and lovely and funny! Easter egg hunt. Beds were comfortable.
The villa is very luxurious and has a very nice view on Philipsburg.
I really recommend this villa as a nice place for quality time together with your love ones.
