Ok. I hear the dilemma but this sounds more like an issue for the other couple to deal with. Orient Beach is the place to be in St Martin, trust me. I LOVE it there. If you and your hubby like to be beach bums (like me!) then that's what you should do. Unlimited alcohol is not a big thing for me, in fact, drinking for free can result in some serious unpleasantness later. It is HOT in the sun and if you don't drink enough water you can become quite ill. If you drink alcohol you are automatically behind the "dehydration eight ball", so to speak. So for me, unlimted booze is not an attraction. The taxi drivers are cool, so that shouldn't be a factor. They try to get as many people in one cab to keep the cost per person down. If you know you are coming back to St Martin sometime soon, then by all means compromise. As far as going separate ways -- heck, my hubby and I have done that 3 times! I LOVE the beach and he likes to hike, ride bicycles, etc. We have done separate tours in St Martin, Belize and Barbados, no problem! If you can talk to the person sitting next to you, you'll have a great time! I see no reason why this guy can't join you at Orient Beach and then go to his afternoon thing?You mention the group has shot down his other suggestions... just curious, what kind of tours were they?
