Taxi Questions

[lephysteria]

Hi,

 

When our AOS ship is in St. Maarten, we plan to use taxis for our transportation.

 

We'd like to first go to Mullet Beach, and stay there for a while, then go to Maho Beach and stay there for a while, then go to the shopping street, then back to the ship.

 

So my question is:

Should we hire a taxi to take us around for the day? (I'd hate to have the guy wait for us while we're lounging on a beach. (I had the same guilty feelings about the driver in India too). Does the driver really not mind waiting for 3 hours while we're at a beach?

 

OR -

 

If we are going to stay at a particular beach (or shopping) for a few hours, should we just take different taxis for each leg of our exploration? Are taxi's THAT readily available?

 

What would you do if you were us? :)

Rent a car for the day. Not expensive and you won't feel the guilt of someone standing around waiting for you.
