One Day Is Not Enough
This is such a fun day in the sun. If you are looking for relaxing, excellent service this is for you. We cancelled plans for one of our days so we could come back a second day. Anthony and CiCI are amazing. Genuinely kind and great service. 10 out of 10.

Excellent - would come back!
The owner personally came out & greeted all of the guests! The food was outstanding, and the drinks kept coming, even right out to the edge of the water - talk about service!

Exceptional hospitality
Lovely location to sit by the beach. The friendly staff treated us very well. Jeremy was our exceptional host. Later in the day the owner stopped by to chat with each person there, making sure our visits was good. Food was good. We walked down the boardwalk can compared the competition. Highly recommend this location.

Super easy beach option
This beach experience is very affordable and easy. For those on cruise ships, it is steps from the water taxi or a 20 minute walk. The staff is dellightful and attentive It's nothing fancy - a beach chair with umbrella and some drinks - but worthy of the price of admission.

This was another great day. While there is lots to see in St. Maarten, we opted for the final day of our cruise to be a beach day. You have to take a water taxi to get to the beach, but they run frequently. Big Bastard’s was well staffed by an attentive a friendly crew. The beach itself isn’t very scenic, but we still had a great time.

Great Beach Day from Cruiseport
You won’t regret booking chairs and umbrellas with drinks at Big Bastards. They take care of you especially Kiandre and Steven. It’s an easy walk from Celebrity Cruise port or you can take a water taxi.
