shaynasmom Posted October 18, 2010 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hello all - We are heading on the Oasis in a month ..... and I am just beginning to research our day in St. Marteen. We WANT to go to Maho. My husband has been looking forward to that for a year. He always goes plane watching. We live in Metro DC and do it all the time by Reagan National. We aren't interested in a "beach day" ...... unless there is a SPECTACULAR beach. Something that we can't miss. What natural beauty is there on the island on either side ?? Which side is better French or Dutch ? Is there a restaurant with a GREAT view (we will be celebrating our 20th anniversary that day) ? Shopping - any can't miss shopping (ESPECIALLY for UNIQUE JEWELRY....) After all it is my 20th .... and I am sure.... you know the rest.... Thanks, Eva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaynasmom Posted October 18, 2010 Author #2 Share Posted October 18, 2010 We are likely doing a taxi...... not planning on a tour guide.... but if needed we can. We were NOT thinking of a "rush -rush day".... actually thinking of getting off the boat late..... (docks at 7 am - departs at 5 pm) and taking it nice, slow and relaxing. Thanks!

Spurs Fans Posted October 18, 2010 #3 Share Posted October 18, 2010 You can do Maho and Orient Beach in the same day, either by taxi or rental car. You should do both. Orient is probably the most beautiful beach in the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor Posted October 19, 2010 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I'm thinking that this would have been a lot easier to respond to if it had been just a single thread with your questions, going back and forth. If you want to include a great restaurant with view in your day, then consider this. Off the boat by Water Taxi to spend an hour or so jewelry shopping (they'll open around 10:00 on Front Street), imho, that's not nearly enough time, then lunch at Antoine. After that catch a taxi to Maho and enjoy the planes. You can see a live schedule of the flight arrivals over at Joyce Prince's website. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
