Credit Cards

Credit cards and traveler's checks are widely accepted. (Credit card transactions are usually in US dollars.)

Currency

The currency of the French Antilles is the Euro; however, the US dollar is accepted in St. Martin. There is no limit to the amount of traveler's checks and letters of credit being imported, although a declaration of foreign banknotes in excess of $500 US must be made.

In Dutch St. Maarten, the currency is the Netherlands Antilles Florin (NAF), which exchanges at a fluctuating rate.

Tipping

If the itemized bill says "Service Compris", no tip is necessary.
