The 10 Best Budget-friendly Things to do in Philipsburg, Sint Maarten

December 28, 2021 Timmy Ribble

Philipsburg is the capital of Dutch St. Maarten, a Caribbean island divided into Dutch and French (Saint Martin) sides. Bargain seekers flock to the duty-free and sales-tax-free stores of Philipsburg's mile-long commercial district. Visitors also enjoy the city's art galleries, historic forts, casinos and zoo, as well as Great Bay Beach and its boardwalk. Offshore, on the 12 Metre Challenge, guests can work as part of the crew on one of five boats used in the 1987 America's Cup competition.

Bob and Raj are the best. I arrived at my hotel to find flowers and a bottle of champagne! This jewelry store on Front Street in St Maarten goes above and beyond to provide the most genuine service and definitely the best prices for your jewelry desires. All the staff are very courteous and knowledgeable. Never pushy and very hospitable. The follow up service is terrific with a nice email at Christmas and on your birthday. I highly recommend Joe’s Jewelry! Tell them Larisa sent you!!

Kay's Fine Jewelry

Reviewed By ChinesePug

We have been shopping at Kay's in St. Maarten for 17 years & they have always exceeded our expectations. We not only shop when we are on a cruise with them but we also call them from home when there is a special occasion & talk to Raj/Yogi or Archie about what he want. They have created beautiful, one of a kind pieces which they Fed EX to us. Prices are more than fair. They always include an appraisal that is good for insurance purposes. They say to us that we are family & that is exactly the way they treat us. Kay's is the ONLY jewelry store that we shop at because we can TRUST them.
