staying in st. maarten overnight
Rent a car. The only way I might not is if i got in super late, was leaving super early, was right next to the airport, and dead tired.
If you're out aways from the airport the taxi rides will cost more than renting a car. If you have a car you can go out for dinner or for some entertainment.
one more thing- the line for the departure tax is often long. if you haven't stayed in st. maarten for over 24 hours you do not have to pay the tax, but you still need the stamp. I'm not really sure how this all works.... but if you're late, it's better to be a jerk and jump the line than miss your flight. With all the students coming in at the same time, seats are at a premium
It was torture.... straight torture son....
