Who we work with
GetYourGuide. Every tour and ticket on VisitSintMaarten.com is booked through GetYourGuide, and we are a registered affiliate partner. When you book after clicking one of our links, GetYourGuide pays us a percentage of its commission. Your price is unchanged.
Trip.com. Accommodation links on our where to stay page go to Trip.com. Where an affiliate relationship is in place, we may earn a commission on completed stays, again at no additional cost to you.
We have no commercial relationship with the governments or tourist offices of Sint Maarten or Saint-Martin, the port, the airport, any ferry company or any cruise line, and this is not an official tourism website.
What this does and does not change
- It does not change your price. Affiliate commission comes out of the platform’s margin, not your booking.
- It does not buy a ranking. No operator or hotel can pay to appear on this site or to be ranked higher on it.
- It does not stop us being critical. We say when a trip is too long for a port call, when reviews are thin and when doing it yourself is better than paying.
- It does fund the site. Research, hosting and keeping information current are paid for entirely by these commissions. There is no advertising.
How we choose what to recommend
Tours are ranked on what you experience, how well they use your time, value for money and what reviewers say afterwards. Ratings and review counts are taken directly from GetYourGuide and re-checked regularly. Accommodation is selected for location, character and reputation, and identified on Trip.com.
When a product’s rating falls or it stops being good value, it comes off the list.
Prices and accuracy
All prices shown on this site are indicative starting prices and can change at any time. The price you see on the booking platform at the moment of purchase is the one that applies.
