Our driver was great. She was very friendly and informative.The island is beautiful on both sides. We fed Iguanas and walked 2 different beaches. Watched as an airplane flew over us. They had an amazing bar and restaurant. We definitely would come back. Off season is great too. Not crowded.

The tour was incredible. Richard was great and very knowledgeable. I'm glad I booked this tour; everything was perfect—the weather, the scenery, and the food. It was a great experience.

Travelers should request Narline to receive a premium tour. She was knowledgeable and provided a thorough explanation of the various sites and parts of the island. My friend and I acquired a greater understanding of St. Maarten/ St. Martin. She was an outstanding tour guide, and I would recommend her every time!

Beach bus trip

Penny_J, Apr 2026

We spent more time on the bus than at beaches. The beaches had drop offs and rough water. We ended up going to eat and our driver put us all at one big table. They were not terribly friendly at his local restaurant. He stopped to get a phone and a lottery ticket. Odd experience!!!

Response from Host, May 2026

Hi there, Thank you for your feedback we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that the tour didn’t meet your expectations. Our goal is always to strike the right balance between sightseeing, beach time, and comfort, so we regret if it felt like too much time was spent in transit. Traffic and timing between locations can sometimes impact how long we’re on the road, but we understand how important it is to maximize time at each stop. Regarding the beach conditions, we always try to select the best available options on the day; however, sea conditions can vary, and we apologize if the locations visited were not ideal for you. As for the restaurant stop and seating arrangement, this is typically done to keep groups together for quicker service, but we understand that this may not have been your preference. Your comments about the service there and the additional stops made by the driver are also noted, as this is not the standard experience we aim to provide. We take your feedback seriously and will address this internally to ensure improvements are made moving forward. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better one in the future. Warm regards, Red Rose Transportation & Tours

You get to see the whole island, but it’s no tour

Milena_C, Jan 2026

I didn’t get the best impression of St Maarten on this tour- it was more like having a personal driver take you from one touristy spot to another. Unfortunately, while nice, my guide didn’t have anything to offer in terms of historical information about the island and landmarks. The itinerary was to go to 2 beaches on each side of the island, so 4 in total. Most of the beaches were eroded and over crowded. Maho Beach was chaotic and over hyped. Grand Case was eroded to the point that the only place to sit is underneath the houses/buildings. Mullet Bay was the nicest beach we visited- lovely but super crowded annd lots of kids running all over the place. Orient Bay was large annd lots of room, but rough waters. Everything was expensive. Pick up and drop off were very disorganized- the lot where all the tours meet is mismanaged and stressful. I’m glad I got to see the whole island, but I doubt I’ll be coming back for an extended stay.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We truly appreciate you choosing our tour and we’re sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. St. Maarten is a small island with limited beach space, and depending on the day, weather, cruise traffic, and recent erosion, conditions at certain beaches can vary greatly. Popular locations such as Maho Beach and Mullet Bay can indeed feel crowded and hectic, especially during peak hours, and we understand how that can affect the overall experience. Our tours are designed to be flexible and relaxed, allowing guests to see multiple highlights of the island at their own pace. That said, we regret that the historical and cultural context you were hoping for was not delivered to your satisfaction. This is valuable feedback, and we will be reinforcing this aspect with our guides to ensure guests who are interested in deeper island history receive that experience. Regarding pickup and drop-off, the meeting area used by tour operators near the port is managed by the port authority, not individual tour companies. While we do our best to guide guests through the process smoothly, we understand it can feel overwhelming, and we’re sorry for the added stress this caused. We’re glad you were at least able to see the full island and found Mullet Bay enjoyable. While St. Maarten may not have been the perfect fit for you, we genuinely appreciate your perspective and will use your feedback to continue improving our service for future guests. We wish you safe travels and thank you again for sharing your experience.

Thank you 😊

A Delightful Tour

Leonard_R, Jan 2020

Our tour guide, Shawn, was wonderful. We were at the wrong pick-up site (our fault), and he came and found us. He made it his priority that we have a fun time....and we did, He was knowledgeable and professional and personable. We learned alot about the island (French and Dutch sides), and we stopped at many sites. The van was comfortable and it was a wonderfully private tour for the two of us. We would take this tour again....and we recommend Shawn to be the guide!

How to discover the island!

Maddalena_B, Jan 2026

That's great! The perfect way to start your holiday and discover the island. The driver who accompanied me, Claudia, was very kind and showed me the beaches leaving me time to walk and swim, and told me a lot of things about the island. He also drove very well, in the madness of local traffic! Advice!
