Lodging Choices Tip
Dutch side or French side, what is better?
This really depends on your style of vacation. If you prefer nightlife, spend or win some money at casinos, like hanging out at bars, then the Dutch part is right for you. And you may want to stay close by at a rental property at Simpson Bay or at Cupecoy.
If you are more into a quiet life, enjoy great food, and love spending the day at a fabulous beach, may be even at a topless or "less" beach, then the French side is the place to go. See here for lodging options.
