How We Make Money at Caribbeanly
At Caribbeanly, our mission is simple: help you experience the best of Sint Maarten/Saint Martin and the Caribbean—without the stress of endless searching or second-guessing your plans. We believe that
planning your next island escape should be just as enjoyable as the trip itself.
And yes, we do make money from our site—but not the way you might think.
A Quick Word on Affiliate Links
Some of the links you’ll find on Caribbeanly are affiliate links. That means if you click on one and end up booking a hotel, renting a car, reserving a tour, or making a purchase, we may earn a small commission—
at no extra cost to you. Think of it like buying us a piña colada for the travel tips!
We only recommend experiences, accommodations, and services we truly believe will add value to your trip. Our job is to connect you with the best the island has to offer, not just what pays a commission.
Can You Trust Our Recommendations?
Absolutely. Our content is built on honest research, local knowledge, and the belief that every traveler deserves an unforgettable Caribbean experience. We’re not a travel agency. We’re travelers, too.
We walk the beaches, sample the food, take the tours, and dig deep into what really makes this island tick.
Some of our partners do offer affiliate commissions, but that doesn’t influence our reviews or suggestions.
If something isn’t worth your time or money, we won’t recommend it—plain and simple.
Why Transparency Matters
We think it’s important you know how we operate. Behind every article, guide, and itinerary is a local-first philosophy and hours of careful research, exploration, and storytelling. Being upfront about how we support the site is just part of treating our readers like we’d treat a good friend visiting the island for the first time.
We Publish Monthly
We also write fresh blog articles every month—whether it’s the latest beach spots, cultural events, or practical tips for island travel. It’s our way of keeping you in the loop and inspired to plan your next Caribbean escape.
