Planning your Saint Martin trip

- Fort LouisThis 18th-century French fort overlooks Marigot.

Scams to watch for in Saint Martin
- Theft from parked rental carsThieves search parked rental cars and take valuables. Organised teams can break into cars easily. Locking the car alone does not protect anything left inside.
- Separate turnover-tax chargeA few sellers add their 5% turnover tax as a separate charge on the sales slip. Merchants pay this tax, but have been instructed not to add it separately to buyers' bills.
- Free gifts or cash leading to a timeshare pitchA street promoter offers free gifts or cash, then gradually draws you into travelling to a resort condo or timeshare presentation. Once there, you face a long, high-pressure sales pitch. The gifts may depend on your willingness to buy. This practice has become much less common, but it can still consume most of a short visit.
