I just want to say, that I love your videos and watch them religiously for months before spending our one cruise port day on the island last week. I'm excited to say I literally followed in your footsteps in Grand Case. We're visited Maison Chocolat, ate at Cynthia's talk of the Town, visited the beach and took iconic pictures under the Pier, and the colorful steps. My husband and I fell in love with the French side and now we are planning to return for longer visit with our family!
Been to Grand Case and stayed at GCBC. Snorkled around Creole Rock and ate like a 👑 king!! I love the French Cuisine...and I mean all of it!! The wines 🍷 are fantastic!! 😊
Riselle you have done it again and of course this time you highlighted my favorite place in the world! Thank you for transporting me to the beach the lolos the shops and restaurants I always have as a must go when we come to the island. I could smell the crepes as you left the parking lot and then the lolos and the Lobster thermidor at Bistrot Caraïbes as you moved down the street. I could almost feel and smell the sweet air of the beach and felt my toes in the sand. I can't wait to share this with my wife and kiddos we all so love Grand Case as I know you do as well this is definitely a Vidéo fantastique!
Glad you liked it, Bryan. I love this little village and it makes me happy to see that you obviously love it as well. I hope you and the family get to return here soon.
My family and I will be on your island February 4-11, 2024. I will follow a lot of your advice and tips! I’ll make sure to keep my eyes open for you and will say hello if I see you.
This was good. I been to SXM plenty of times. Spent time in Grand Case as well. Something about this video makes me want to explore more over there.. I always get lost at night but I got my glasses this time 😂😂
Thank you for this tour. Your vids have such great info! We love staying on the French side but at Orient and have ventured for lunch/dinner out to Grand Case many times. Such amazing food!! And we love the LOLOs. You are so right about the Heavenly smells from the LOLOs. It draws you in like the Pied Piper. Lunch at the LOLOs is one of those sweet memories of our favorite Island. (As an aside, the Island is so green!! You guys must have had some great rain thank goodness. It was so dry back in June.)
I wanted to do a video about Orient as well but everything closed yesterday for the month of September so I’ll do one when everything reopens in October. Yes, we’ve been having a lot of rain lately which is great for the island and the little animals up in the hills.
Passed through briefly a year ago exactly but next time will try to spend more time there and visit some of the spots you've shown us! Glad to see you back doing vids Riselle!
Thank you for taking us on this beautiful tour of Grand Case. I remember dining there (can't recall where exactly) many years ago but after watching this I think I'll go during daytime for a swim & lunch! Saludos.
Hi Riselle! Love Grand Case! Your island is so beautiful 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌺🌺🌺🌺I live in the States but my heart is in St Maarten! Whenever I’m missing your blue ocean and sky, I put your videos on! Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to visit again! ❤
I LOVE Love. One of my best staycations were at Love Hotel and my 40th at the Love Residence. The Love hotel unfortunately is no longer there and I miss it dearly but at least we still have the Residence.
Wow, I’m so happy to have found your videos! Fantastic job touring Grand Case. We will be there in February and I will be watching every single video before we go!
@@TheTravelingIslandGirl We already arrived to SXM and so far it's absolutely gorgeous! 👍🏻Tomorrow we will move to Grand Case and will stay there for few days...
Loved this! Made me miss the place so much. Whenever we land, as soon as we get our car, my husband insists we go straight to the lolos 😂. He has a mental inventory of which dish is best at which one but we often end up at Rib Shack. Sexy Fruits is my favorite shop and a day chair rental from Rainbow Cafe is a good decision! However, we’re gonna hit Captain Frenchy’s next time because the food looked more our style…That Ti Punch is serious but I’m a lightweight so my opinion is suspect. We’ve been all over the island and the water at Grand Case just seems the most beautiful to me! I highly recommend Tijon. If you haven’t gotten a spa treatment at Nzuri yet - you must go!! So sad that Frontier cut their route to SXM…ruined our plan to be back in November but we’ll be back next year ❤️
Great video. Arriving this weekend and hoping to enjoy the island as much as possible. I will put a visit to Grand Case on my daily itinerary. I also plan to day trip it to Anguilla. Hope there will be lots to do this weekend & the weather will be perfect! Awesome video 📹 That Lolo's spot seemed great 👍🏾
Thank you so much for posting! We went several years ago and had the BEST food in all of the islands we've been to in the Caribbean. Can't wait to go back in April!! Is there any beach in Grand Case area that you could just walk down to the water with your own snorkel gear and swim? Thank you in advance!
@@TheTravelingIslandGirl Yes, I watched the full video. I was just checking that it was allowed, some areas don’t let you snorkel. Thank you so much for the info!
Is it possible to go to your favorite hotel (the one where you visit the bartender at the end) for a drink/day even if not staying there? I'm trying to decide where to stay for a week in St. Martin and Grand Case definitely looks like a great choice!
Hi Lisa. Unfortunately it isn't. I wish it was. I highly recommend Grand Case but if you want to stay closer to the night life you should think of staying somewhere in Simpson bay or Maho.

I was there 1990-1991, 1993, what a place! old carribean feel
Riselle, thank you. I really appreciate all the information you have shared and work done to produce these videos!
Thank you, Steven. This means a lot. I appreciate it.
My family and I will be on your island February 4-11, 2024. I will follow a lot of your advice and tips!
I’ll make sure to keep my eyes open for you and will say hello if I see you.
Kudos to you for not using single-use plastic products and a great video.
It’s hard sometimes since it’s everywhere here but I’m determined to make an impact, no matter how small.
Thank you Riselle for sharing your favorite place. We are here and will visit Grand Case tomorrow. Shopping and the pier. 🙏🏽
Thank you for watching. Enjoy Grand Case
We're planning to go today! I have planned our 2 week vacay at SXM based on your recommendations and excellent videos. Thank you!!
That makes me so happy. Enjoy your visit.
This was good. I been to SXM plenty of times. Spent time in Grand Case as well. Something about this video makes me want to explore more over there.. I always get lost at night but I got my glasses this time 😂😂
Riselle, thank you for your wonderful videos! We booked a stay in Grand Case for a five day vacay this Christmas weekend!
Cynthia’s Lolo was the bomb!!! Took a photo under the pier (after I jumped into the water from the deep end). Loved it and can’t wait to go back.
Thank you for your informative and helpful video❤🎉😊
You sat at the table we sat at when we were there a year ago! The perfect place to eat and watch the sunset!

Some of my best childhood memories 💓..I lived on Statia for 4 years but was in St. Marteen and St Martin every month.
Another classic masterpiece. Thank you!💙
Thank YOU for watching 😉
I loved the tour so glade I came across your vlog - new subscriber. My husband and I will definitely visit for one of our anniversaries. Thank you
Passed through briefly a year ago exactly but next time will try to spend more time there and visit some of the spots you've shown us! Glad to see you back doing vids Riselle!
Thank you, Jiji. Yes. You must try to spend a day here when you return.
Enjoyable video! I'm overdue for a revisit to St. Martin. My last visit was back in 2000.
Definitely time to return
Thanks Riselle! Veri nice and informative video! I would like to go this place really soon!
Book that ticket and visit.
Can't wait to check it out next week!
Stole my heart years ago too!!! 💯❤❤
It truly is a special place

😍😍😍 the walk-around format.
Excellent video! I absolutely love Grand Case. I stayed at the Love Hotel which is now my favorite hotel on the island ❤
I LOVE Love. One of my best staycations were at Love Hotel and my 40th at the Love Residence. The Love hotel unfortunately is no longer there and I miss it dearly but at least we still have the Residence.
Thanks for making this video! Grand Case is where my grandmother's whole family is from. I've never been (yet), so this was a treat to watch!
Here’s hoping that you get to visit your ancestors’ home soon. Thanks for watching.
@@TheTravelingIslandGirl cheers! 🍻
Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing all your insight!❤
Love love love

Bonnie journée Riselle, We enjoy your videos so much
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for this amazing Video!

The lolos is a must-do for the local food and vibes. Happy travels.
Un gros merci pour cette visite... nous planifions un voyage et je rêve d'un arrêt à ce village.
You are welcome and this village is an absolute must-visit
Riselle, I love your videos! Also love your name since it's so similar to mine :)
Thank you so much. What’s yours?
@@TheTravelingIslandGirl - Riziell :)
Ashamed to say that in my both visits we did not do the beach in the day 😭. Had dinner tho 😅
The Best!!!
Thank you so much for posting! We went several years ago and had the BEST food in all of the islands we've been to in the Caribbean. Can't wait to go back in April!! Is there any beach in Grand Case area that you could just walk down to the water with your own snorkel gear and swim? Thank you in advance!
If you watch the full video you’ll see that the GC beach is easily accessible. Enjoy your visit.
@@TheTravelingIslandGirl Yes, I watched the full video. I was just checking that it was allowed, some areas don’t let you snorkel. Thank you so much for the info!
@@larue83tx I’m mot aware of that here. You should be ok to snorkel where you want but at your own risk.
I also went in that street in grand case
what is name of the place where the lady is grilling the lobsters on the grill and do they have beach access with chairs? ty
Does public transportation run from the Dutch side to there?
You’ll have to change bus in Marigot
WONDERFUL VIDEO IS THIS FISHING VILLAGE FAR FROM DIVI LITTLE BAY RESORT? IF SO SHOULD I RENT A CAR OR GO BY TAXI
Thank you. Yes, it’s definitely not walking distance. You’ll need a car or take a taxi.
Is it possible to go to your favorite hotel (the one where you visit the bartender at the end) for a drink/day even if not staying there? I'm trying to decide where to stay for a week in St. Martin and Grand Case definitely looks like a great choice!
Hi Lisa. Unfortunately it isn't. I wish it was. I highly recommend Grand Case but if you want to stay closer to the night life you should think of staying somewhere in Simpson bay or Maho.
People may think you are exaggerating about the great food there. Let me assure them, it is even better!
Amen, Nels!
My home away from home ❤❤❤
Can you take a water taxi from
phill. To Grand Case? If so, how long would that take?
There is no water taxi to Grand Case. There is no water taxi period. Unless it’s the one from the cruise port to Philipsburg as far as I know.
@@TheTravelingIslandGirl thank you!
When on the French side of the island, is it better to use dollars or euros? What’s more beneficial? Thx

How far a drive back to cruise port? Are drivers available?
Yes, there are drivers available outside of the port. You can also book a tour with me 😉 so you have the best driver 😆
@@TheTravelingIslandGirl we booked a tour to Marigot, but May want to stay later. As long as we can get back in time to the ship.
I parked in that parking lot
You’re so cute! ❤
