    heading to SXM in a little over 2 weeks and I cannot wait! I’ve been wondering, is it easy enough to get taxis home from most parts of the island? We have a couple plans where we’ll all want to have a few drinks and won’t want to drive - sitting at the bar on Maho Beach, having dinner in Grand Case and touring Topper’s are the main ones.

    • @TheTravelingIslandGirl
      @TheTravelingIslandGirl  2 года назад +3

      Yes. You can ask the owners or managers at the restaurants to call a taxi for you. They usually have a list of preferred taxis they work with. I would also recommend you to take the number from one of the taxi drivers and keep it at hand in case the property you visit cannot get a hold of one of their regulars.

    Hello Riselle! I love your channel and informative videos.We are coming to visit next month and are thinking of staying close to the airport at an Airb&b on Simpson Bay Road (close to the Turquoise Shell Inn). The house is right on the beach and offers incredible ocean views and the rates are quite affordable. But we are wondering about excessive jet noise being that close to the airport. Would you think this would be a problem at that location? Thank you.

    • @TheTravelingIslandGirl
      @TheTravelingIslandGirl  2 года назад +2

      Hi there. You’ll definitely be hearing the jet engines but the location you are describing in Simpson Bay is not right at the airport or the airstrip. So the sound should not be at a level that it will disrupt your vacation in any way.

    Hello question is it best to stay at a all inclusive resort reason I asks so we know about the food

    • @TheTravelingIslandGirl
      @TheTravelingIslandGirl  Год назад +1

      I’m not a fan of all inclusive resorts. These are often owned by foreign companies that don’t have the island’s interest at heart. All inclusive also usually takes away of a more local experience. Having said that, I completely understand the appeal. As far as I know the better food is usually outside of the resorts and at the many gourmet experiences around the island

As a matter of fact, we put down 3 of your recommended restaurants (from another video) in our "must-do" list. You will always have one or two people like this person, but just know that the service you provide with you videos and tips is a huge help to most of us. Thank you for all you do! I'll be there soon!!
