All fairly accurate thus far.
My sixth trip now booked.

Local buses from Maho to P'burg are $2 each way. How do you spot them? Number plates all have BUS on them and some digits.

Sunset Beach Bar - best views except in April/May when the sun comes further round. Boat Bar on the northern side of the beach has same drinks and half the price of the Sunset Beach Bar.

Do not stand behind departing jet a/c - I have so many photos that clearly show high levels of FOD being blown in the jetblast (travelling at velocities not seen by the naked eye) and whilst I can appreciate the 'buzz' it's plain daft, especially when last year the runway surface broke up in places.

For the best steaks/lobster on the Island, go to Uncle Harry's which is just past the car hire rentals on the northern side of the runway on the way to Simpson Bay. Yes, it is different and Harry is a real character. Then round in Simpson Bay, try Pineapple Pete's.

Enjoy!
