St Martin Island Provides Fun and Fascination to Caribbean Visitors



May 26, 2005 -- St. Martin Island is among the Caribbean's most luxurious and desirable vacation destinations. Tourists get the royal treatment as they cruise the small island for food, fashion and fun.

"Many travellers venture to French St. Martin for gourmet cuisine," reports travel writer Rick Millikan in his new travel story at www.Travel-Wise.com. "Cordially welcomed at the Mont Vernon reception, we slipped into the adjoining courtyard to savour coffee au lait, succulent fruit, warm pastries, and specially prepared omelets. Beyond providing themed buffets, the secluded resort offered guests opportunities for gourmet dining at off-property restaurants. So following a pleasant stroll that evening, Le Taitu fully initiated us into the pleasures of Creole gastronomy."

Millikan's review of St. Martin island and its European-Caribbean culture as well as natural beauty offers great travel tips to any traveler looking to visit this tropical paradise.

Beyond the fine restaurants, fashionable shopping and historic sites, visitors can also explore nature by snorkeling in the marine reserve, spending time in a butterfly farm or hiking the mountainous rain forest ... before it's back to delicious dishes.

"Exploring seven miles of stony trails, hikers observe exotic birds, green monkeys and raccoons. Some trek up to Paradise Peak, the highest spot on the island," describes Millikan. "Upon their return, they may join gourmands delighting in the internationally acclaimed Hidden Forest Caf."

"Sporting a salty history, St. Martin now boasts haut cuisine. Named Saint Martin of Tours by Columbus, it's now Saint Martin of tourism. Enticed by its European Caribbean culture and natural beauty, we discovered a fascinating and welcome haven," concludes Millikan.
