Question 5

How do payment plans work?

Accepted Answer

When selecting your tickets or villas, you can pay fully or select the payment plan and pay in the 2 instalment payments.

The new SXM Festival Payment Plans system will allow you to spread your payments out over the course of a 2-month period. You'll pay a deposit when you first check-out that is equal to 1/2 of your total cart balance.

Payment plan for tickets is divided in 2.

Your account will then automatically be charged at the same time of the month over the next month without any further action required.

If a payment attempt fails for whatever reason (e.g. card has expired, is no longer valid, insufficient funds or card is declined by the bank), then we will give you notice of the failed payment attempt advising you that we will try to take payment again in 7 days, giving you the opportunity to correct the situation;

If the payment attempt fails again, we will send you a second failed payment notice and again wait to charge you for another 7 days;

If the payment attempt fails for a third time, we may at our discretion cancel the booking by giving you written notice.

Please note, upon cancellation of the booking due to your failure to keep up with the Payment Plan, your order will be cancelled, and you will lose your deposit as well as any previous instalments that you have paid.

Update the payment details for your payment plan at MY BOOKINGS and follow the link CHANGE CARD on the booking.

Light congestion is frequent in some areas, but roadway delays are generally in the rearview before they become a bother.

Question 48

Is Saint Martin safe?

Accepted Answer

The car number plates say it: “The Friendly Island”. Saint Martin is a small island with a low crime rate and a friendly, happy population. There are French and Dutch police on each respective side of the island. That said, like anywhere in the world, it is wise to take sensible precautions such as: not flashing money or jewelry around, not leaving valuables in cars, not going to secluded places at night or trespassing on private property, not being rude or disrespectful to the locals. Just the regular rules you would follow on any vacation or in any big city. Be sensible and you’ll have an amazing time on this Friendly Island.
