Saint Martin Vacations
Saint Martin is a tropical island in the Caribbean. Saint Martin is approximately 150 mi east of Puerto Rico and is one of the smallest inhabited landmasses in the world that is divided between two nations. The Netherlands and France each lay claim to roughly one half of the 38 square mile island. So planning a vacation here can be complicated.

In Saint Maarten, the Dutch side, people are known for festive nightlife, casinos, and fun beaches. Saint-Martin, the French side, is more renown for its nude beaches, shopping, exotic rum drinks, and French Caribbean cuisine. Vacations in Saint Martin are filled with fun and exasperation so you’ll need somewhere to sleep come the end of the day. Rentals on the island include five star hotels, bed and breakfasts, inns, and a limited number of summer vacation homes for rent.

In case you were worried all types of planes land on the island including 747 and Airbus A340’s which carry tourists from around the world on a daily basis. Rental cars are also available and are the primary mode of transportation for people on the island. Just be wary of the major traffic problems between cities and the airport. One of the main attractions for vacationers on the island of Saint Martin is “The Life of Saint Martin” tours. There are also tours of every nook and cranny of this relatively small island available for vacationers to Saint Martin.

For travel planning help you should always check online as new dealers are springing up every day for both removed and popular destinations. Online retailers specific to the area have much more knowledge of local specials. This includes the food on the island; if you’re traveling with someone with food allergies and you’re leaving the country it’s always a good idea to check ahead and you can find much of that information on the net.

There are vacation packages to be found that are all inclusive to Saint Martin which feature tours of some of the local history in addition to some great restaurants, live entertainment, and things that major travel publications might just not cover.
