Welkom! It is our pleasure to have you spend your vacation with us in our new Country of St. Maarten, conceived on a special date in our nation’s history, 10-10-10. You’ve come to a very unique island in a host of ways. It is the smallest country in the world to be shared by two nations, the Netherlands and France, creating a distinctive European influence while maintaining an American pulse and a Caribbean panache. St. Maarten is also the culinary capital of the Caribbean, with an assorted array of elegantly perfected culinary fusion that keeps “food lovers” returning each year. With more than 300 restaurants, the island has something for everyone. We are so pleased you have chosen our friendly island to rest and recharge your life. We have plenty of activities for those who like to keep active. And we have six swimming pools and a beautiful beach for those who enjoy a more relaxed approach. I encourage you to attend a morning orientation to receive an overview of our weekly events and resort amenities. You will also receive special details for activities including water sports, tours, shopping, dining, beaches and island hopping. The Orientation is held Monday morning, so please check the time and location with the Concierge. You may also keep in touch with the Resort and St. Maarten all year round by clicking on www.simpsonbayresort.com. The website features information on the resort and the island with photos, videos and a range of member services for your convenience. Please call on any of the staff—or me personally—whenever we may be of service. Once again, thank you for choosing St. Maarten and the Resort as your vacation destination. Now sit back, relax and enjoy your vacation.
