Is St Martin a good place to shop?
Yes, St Martin is a great island to shop. Marigot and Phillipsburg are the popular shopping districts. There are pros and cons to each town. Phillipsburg has reliable hours (no afternoon siestas) and caters to the cruise industry since the disembarkation point is located there. Find out when the cruise ships are not in (usually Tuesdays) to have the best shopping experience. St Martin Reservation Center can arrange for personal shopping tours that will give intimate service for our guests that prefer to know the insider strategy for shopping on St Martin. Marigot is prettier and quieter. Some of the best buys in jewelry can be had in Philipsburg and our favorite store is Ballerina II Jewelers. Prices are up to 60% off the best rates in the US and bargaining is not necessary. As a money saving tip, tell Tony or the manager on duty that you are a client of St Maarten Reservation Center.
