What is included and what it costs
| Item | Price for two | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Flight + hotel together | US$1,673 | Round-trip nonstop flights for two plus 7 nights in a Premier Courtyard Room. US$837 per person. |
| Hotel only, same room and dates | US$1,695 | 7 nights, taxes and fees included. No resort fee was listed. |
| Flights only, same flights | US$505 | 2 x US$252, basic fare with a personal item only. |
| Booked separately | US$2,200 | Hotel + flights above. |
| Hotel only (another booking site) | US$2,000 | Same hotel and dates. |
In other words, the package costs about the same as the hotel alone, so the flights are close to free. The nonstop flight on these dates is also low for the route on its own, about US$83 below what this trip usually costs.
If you want a carry-on bag or a better room, the upgrades are added on top of the package price, so compare the final total before you pay.

Why St. Maarten in December
Mid-December is the start of the dry, sunny winter season in St. Maarten, just before the Christmas rush pushes prices up. Days are warm, the sea is calm on the east side, and the island is easy to explore, with French-side beaches, the Philipsburg boardwalk and good restaurants in Grand Case all within a short drive.
