St. Maarten Private Eye

Daphne, you are absolutely right! this has nothing to do with interisland politics.
We are trying to warn the American guests that come to the island and they are brushing this off as inter island politics?
What if they had a major accident with Bo-Beau-Bodo? Surely he had no insurance to cover these people or their medical bills?
We are warning them of the scam artists that live and operate on SXM and they make this out to be some sort of politics?
You know some time it is damn if you do and damn if you don't, thats the reason these American visitors keep getting harrassed by the illegal time share OPC's that hound them and push them to buy faulty timeshare with no back up and many times they cannot get their money back. They refuse to listen to the warnings!!! As a SXMner I am appaled by the scam artists and scum of the earth that come here and pollute our tourist product but I don't hear anything from the tourists office on both sides of the island.
So the next time we hear Americans bitching that they were scammed and it is all our fault, should we blame the ones that see us as some little banana republic island running around with grass skirts looking for a revolution at the border?
I can only imagine what kind of tour Mr. Bodo was giving these people and what he was saying about the so called natives.

One comment does not represent all views and opinions. In the same way that one comment here does not represent the views of everyone else who comments, neither does one comment from an American tourist represent those of all American tourists. Please please, think about this. I am sure there are many more tourists who are very thankful for the information we have posted and the one that thinks it's just interisland politics does not speak for them all, it is one persons opinion.So please, it is very wrong to bash them all based on it. - Flipper
