Winter Vacation in St. Martin
Sunday, December 16th, 2007
We finally made it down to St. Martin for a long deserved vacation. We stayed on the French side at the Grand Case Beach Club. The hotel is small and secluded but nothing fancy. The nightly views of sunset over the bay were fabulous.
The hotel was just a short walk to the heart of the small town of Grand Case, famous for the restaurants that line the main drag. We didn’t have a bad meal while we were there. Several places were still offering 1 for 1 Dollor/Euro with cash which was a good deal. A couple of nights we decided to eat casual and tried the local lolos. Very good food and great prices. Even $1 beers.
Since all the rooms at the GCBC have small kitchens, we headed over to the Match supermarket in Marigot. Great selection and decent prices. What was a great surprise was the low price for French wine. We picked up a few bottles that were $5 to $10 each.
