5If you’re in St Maarten, this place is an absolute must!
This VIP beach bar experience was a 10 out of 10! The beach was perfect, the service was impeccable, and the drinks were 👌 They had very clean, private bathrooms and a selection of floats available for your time in the ocean! Our server even offered us drinks to go to wait in line for the water taxi! If you are cruising to St Maarten, this place is an absolute must! If we cruise back, to St Maarten, I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else! Also, try the Guava-Colada!
5Good value for the money....
Good value for the money. Just know that it is only 1 drink per person for a total of 2. Right on the beach within walking distance of the ship.
5Definitely one of our favorite port activities!
Enjoyed a day at Big Bastards while in port on a cruise. The water taxi was easy to figure out, and it was a short walk from where the taxi dropped off to Big Bastards. We promptly were seated under an umbrella, introduced to our attendant and brought our drinks. Service was very attentive the whole day, the water was beautiful, we did order some food and it was delicious. The price we paid was good for what we received, definitely would go back!
5Wonderful location, great service!!
The whole worry-free part of getting to the beach early to secure a great seat was amazing. We are not early risers, so knowing that we didn’t need to worry was amazing! The staff was great, and we had some laughs. It was very relaxing and would definitely recommend the experience to anyone! The servers came around to get whatever we needed….drinks, food etc. I also liked that they had beach items like floaters and noodles for the patrons to use. Thanks for the great time Steve! We will definitely be back.
5Great experience. We were...
Great experience. We were given a great spot with a great personnel server. Cici was grate along with the whole staff. They made sure all empty bottles, drinking glasses and food containers were constantly were picked up and the area looking clean. Owner came down and introduced himself and making sure we knew he and his crew was there to make sure we had a great afternoon. I would go back again and again. Thank you all.

About Philipsburg
Philipsburg, capital of Dutch Sint Maarten, is a narrow town between a long sandy bay and a salt pond, with a beachfront street of shops.
Philipsburg stands on a narrow strip of land between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond, on the Dutch side of the island of Saint Martin, which is shared with France. It was founded in 1763 and named after John Philips, a Scottish captain in Dutch service. Front Street runs along the bay, lined with shops, cafés and old wooden houses, and a boardwalk follows the sand. Wathey Square, with its courthouse of 1793, is the heart of the town.
