Whether you choose the French or the Dutch side, you'll find a wide range of accommodations on the island. St. Maarten is better equipped for tourists with its larger hotels and time-shares, as well as resorts, midrange hotels, condos and small guesthouses. Most of the properties line the white-sand beaches and are within walking distance of shopping areas and restaurants.
If you plan on visiting during peak season or during Carnival, book your accommodations well in advance.
