A video says a thousand words!! Need I write more?
Some people say “I have already done that itinerary. I want to see other islands.”
I say that the great thing about going to the same port many times is knowing exactly “What” you want to do when you get there. It really is much more enjoyable when you don’t feel pressured to see everything and you can spend all day doing your favorite thing on the island. In St Martin, our favorite thing to do is spend the day at Orient Beach…more specifically “Coco’s Beach”. Of course you can go on an excursion to Orient Beach, but then you will be like a herd of cows (not a literal picture!) and not feel special. Take my advice…take a cab to Coco’s and feel the difference!
Sure…you could go to Kontiki’s, Waikiki (totally expensive!) or Bikini Beach, but you won’t feel the intimate friendly service. As with any restaurant or resort, service is always key…and at Cocos the employees really care. You can feel it. And I attribute that to the owner Sophie. She is hands on and a part of the experience. You can always count on the food being fabulous, the service being top notch and the “after lunch specialty rum” being …oh how can I say “rumilicious!” (is that a word?!)
Look for the Periwinkle umbrellas and THAT is Coco’s. I recommend the lobster salad, the Rigaletto Pizza or the grilled chicken (devito style!). Ask for Phillipe, Roman and Sophie and tell them Janet & Frank sent you…and don’t forget to say “Bonjour!”
Take a cruise to St Marten, stay at one of our fav hotels (Alamanda or Esmeralda) or renta villa (Casa Lana, Coccinelle or Dolce Vita – depending on your budget)….but just GO! I have been going there for over 25 years and love it!
