How We Make Money
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 maybe not the way you might think...
Who Is Behind Caribbeanly?
Caribbeanly is the brainchild of Thea and Richard (and the rest of the team) of sun seeking travel lovers who fell head over flip-flops for Sint Maarten/Saint Martin. We’re writers, explorers, parents, and island dreamers—just like you. And yes, we may occasionally bring on other travel experts when we want an insider’s take on something new.
So whether you’re here for the beach bars or the hiking trails, the rum tastings or luxury resorts—we’re here to help make your getaway unforgettable, and do it all with honesty and heart.
