History
St. Maarten/St. Martin has a divided colonial past—Dutch and French control shaped settlements, forts and bilingual culture; Princess Juliana Airport became iconic for its low-altitude landings at Maho Beach.
Conservation
Coral reefs and coastal beaches are sensitive to development and runoff; minimize single-use plastics, support operators who prioritize reef-friendly practices, and avoid leaving vehicle engines idling for long periods.

Confirm arrival details
Provide airline, flight number and arrival time so the greeter can track delays and meet you at the correct exit.

Expect queue times at peak hours
Allow extra time if your flight or cruise ship arrives during mid-morning or late afternoon when airport and port traffic increases.
