Sapphire Beach Club St. Maartens

Our hotel from the cat we sailed on




A private hot tub on every balcony!
Sunset

Our cat, Lambada
Coffee time on our balcony overlooking the beautiful Caribbean sea 
Our hotel's tiny perfect beach








Our pool had its own island!



Cruise ships


Lovely fragrant gardens






  
Nearby Mullett Beach

Popular Orient Beach (taken by telephoto lens from the other end of this long beach)

Snorkel trip to Prickly Pear Island
Cats seem to be the boat of choice in these waters
Rough seas but the fish were lovely and plentiful too

This fearless kite boarder put on an impromptu demonstration of his abilities that seemed to go on for a very long time (more than half an hour)
