St. Martin, with its unique blend of French and Dutch influences, has long been an easy getaway for those craving sand and sun. However, after a devastating hurricane in 2017, most hotels were wholly destroyed or shut down. Luckily, intensive rebuilding efforts have given the "Friendly Island" an assortment of accommodations—both old and new—for every type of traveler.
