St. Maarten Travel Tips by Cliff & Susan

 

We spend all of November each year on the Dutch (South) side of the island of St. Maarten in the Caribbean every year. 2026 is no different, and we invite you to visit us and maybe even let us be your tour guide!

Since 2010, Susan has been performing for month-long contracts at The Red Piano, a solo pianobar award-winning venue on the island. Cliff joined her as their duo in 2016 and the friends we've made there over the years are like family, our "island family". Once you go to St. Maarten one time, you keep coming back. That is so evident every night, as the crowds are a mix of locals and international couples and families who have been coming for generations.

NEWS AS OF MAY 1, 2025, SUSAN HAS OWNERSHIP IN THE CLUB WITH AN ALL FEMALE NEW PARTNERSHIP!

CLIFF & SUSAN PERFORMING ALL OF NOVEMBER 2026!

Every Tuesday through Sunday, you can join Cliff & Susan at The Red Piano. Sit right at the piano that is built into the bar or in a comfortable seat in this intimate, fun venue.  Singalong, dance, drink, and be merry!  Doors open at 7 pm. Show times are 8 pm to 12 am.

TRAVEL AROUND ISLAND:

Taxis can get pricey and you CAN haggle! We recommend getting a rental car, unless you want to pay for taxis. Rental cars allow you to go to different beaches, explore, and be in control of your scheduling. The island is driveable and fun to explore on your own in a small little car or jeep. Please explore where the tourist spots are, and the beaches where people go. The interior of the island is not advisable. Also, note the evening traffic can be stand still 3pm and later. Please inquire with locals the day you plan to travle to make sure you navigate traffic and bridge openings accordingly.
