St. Maarten (The southern Dutch side)

[Zeyto]

Hey,

First time poster here, long time lurker.

I'm planning on traveling to the island sometime in December and wanted to get some advice on hotel recommendations and any other tips for traveling around. So far from what I read here, the general clubs to visit is Carolinas, Crystals and El Capitan which all seem to located close to Philipsburg. Is there any hotels around that area which are chica friendly or are all the hotels chica friendly?

In terms of traveling around, I've also read on here about car rentals. Is it a necessity to get one or can I just Uber or walk anywhere? In Dubai, I almost exclusively used Uber and taxis to get places because extensive road network and lack of public buses.

Any help would be appreciated and will be willing to give tips on Dubai.

The clubs are about 50% full with girls I believe, there is good selection in all of them. On the 1st October st Maarten are lifting the restrictions on banned list countries, turning into high risk. So should be more girls allowed to come in as long a double jabbed.

Fingers crossed hurricane Sam for another hit the island in the meantime.

I am due on island mid November for winter months. Will provide regular updates for this period when I am over there.

Hi,

I didn't see any update since last July.

Somebody local can write an update report of brothels in the island and covid situation.

Nice day.

To get a EHAS form which allows people to enter the country Visa or no visa you must be from an approved country. The BANNED list banns anyone entering St Marten fom the list. I have been at the airport in the USA and have sen people prevented from boarding the plane without an approved EHAS FORM.

Check this out.

As of January 27,2021, until further notice, a TRAVEL BAN is in place for persons who have been the 14 days before departing to Sint Maarten in a banned country as mentioned in the "banned countries" table below. Sint Maarten / Saint Martin / Saba / St. Eustatius residents are exempted from the travel ban and should get a rt-PCR test before departure (see below). The EHAS application must be completed.

There is a ne EHAs form updated July 18 2921 EHAS

Please read it..

I know for a fact 1 girl came from Colombia without quarantining 14 days in other country. It is either they are not enforcing the rule at the immigration or money talks / connections or they found a loophole in the law. From what I have heard before I know that Money talks / connections is the one.

'I called them again today and if my Noviia comes to the USA for 20 days they MIGHT allow her to enter SXM, but not directly from Colombia.

Thanks, but my concern is the long-term impact of the Visa ban described in the article, as opposed to the sort-term travel ban arising from the pandemic.

The pandemic will be over some day, and I'm wondering what (if any) impact the visa ban will have on the business.

Thanks.

If any fellow mongers would like to connect I will be visiting from July 30 to August 10. Get a kick out meeting with members and exchanging info and stories while having a few drinks at Carolinas or El Capitan where I frequent when visiting St. Maarten.

All of the countries listed in the previous post are banned from entry. They do not need a visa however everyone is banned from entering.

I reread your post in the context of the article on the sex worker visa ban, and I'm wondering if I panicked needlessly.

If girls from Columbia don't need a visa, would it be the case that the visa ban has no impact on them?

Anyone know countries would be affected by the visa ban?

[John2526]

Thanks to at DennisMP for posting the newspaper article. After reading it, I get the impression it will have the opposite affect. A visitor will then have to meet all the requirements of a tourist visa. I do not know the law of St. Maarten, but the restrictions on work, length of stay, etc. Could cause the girls major problems. Anyone have insights on that?

No insights, but I agree with your analysis, especially since the stated goal is to stop migrant sex workers.

This could prove to be an existential crisis, unless there's some kind of informal work around, or a formal regulatory process is established.

The latter would be okay, I suppose, but would probably add to the costs. It would probably also be unnecessary. From what I've heard, the girls are tested regularly, and I've never heard of anyone claiming they were tricked / trapped into prostitution. If that's actually happening, it should certainly be addressed. I suspect the club owners know they have too much to lose if they played games like that.

I'll be interested to hear any reports on how this plays out.

So, at what club is she working?

I am told new girls are at Carolinas and Crystal, 7 are in Carolinas. My friend a "connoisseur" of sorts says all of them are very attractive. He is working his way through the group and says all is good so far.

[Mel365]

Heard a new girl there going by name of Joanna (blonde hair) is absolutely fantastic. My friend went there with other regulars and she is a 10/10 according to them.

Hope she still there come winter.

Apparently the SXM government is doing away with these visas as they cannot regulate them according to the Herald. Floodgates to open?

Went to El Capitan last night (Wednesday). It was completely dead. Only 4 girls working. Diamond bit first. A tall, tattooed from head to toe, long braids, huge fake ass and tits. She said she came from Anguilla and speaks good English. 2 more larger girls that I was not at all interested in, and then finally ended up going to the back with Sirena. She's Colombian, from Cali. No English but I know some Spanish. Dark skin, fake ass and tits as well. $60.00 entry with her. $50.00 goes to the house, and she gets $10.00. 20 minutes all covered. It did the trick but overall I'd say slim pickins and pretty rough.

Looking forward to getting back to normal. Tonight there is supposed to be 8 girls there but I don't think I'll go back for a while.

TH.

If you look at the entry form EHAS which is required before entering the airplane.

All of the countries listed in the previous post are banned from entry. They do not need a visa however everyone is banned from entering.

I tried to get my novia to visit, I received a firm NO. I then asked, what about if she is in the USA for 20 days --the answer if they have a passport from a banned country they cannot enter SXM.

I left SXM late May. Plenty of chicas to go around. I especially liked Barbi at El Capt.

And Luisa at Crystals.
