If you are interested in visiting other islands during a visit to St. Maarten/St. Martin, Anguilla is a short ferry ride with great beaches. For those who don't easily get sea sick, St. Barts is well worth the trip. Lots of upper end shopping, great restaurants, and the classic French topless beaches. We did not try a boat trip to Saba yet, but we hear that it is very steep with wonderful views so bring hiking shoes if you decide to explore that one.
