We visited St. Maarten a couple years ago. It's a beautiful place with wonderful people. We stayed at a small boutique hotel right on the beach. Here's a post from the owner of the hotel. It sounds like they went through a terrifying experience. While the focus is on Irma's impact on the mainland U.S., let's not forget about those on the tiny Caribbean islands who have endured a terrible event. #Irma #hurricane #stmaarten #survival #sintmaarten
