From that second photo I pin down where you stayed… Sonesta, Royal Islander, LaTerrace, or one of the new hotels/ condos on the hill… Its beautiful. :)
We usually stay at Royal Islander :)

Every year in February I go to SXM! I always love it…
What I suggest is:
A. Utilize Maho Beach to your advantage
B. La Terrace - Across the street from the Sonesta… (Next to the Casino) is La Terrace… (Youll find it) Go up the stairs to the next floor from the lobby and follow that hallway to the end, where you will see a glass door. That leads to the pool and Plane Viewing Area…
Technically your not allowed… But as long as you buy a drink at their bar (Sprite, etc) and DONT swim in the pool… Your all good. WARNING: Bring Sun Block as there is pretty much no shade up there in the middle of the day… (If you want you can also bring up one of the bar chairs (If not all are being used) and use it to sit in the viewing area… Heres a picture from it:
(Not best Quality… This photo doesnt give justice to how good this spot is…)
C. Taco Macho’s - Other side of the beach… Just ask around…
I hoped that this gave you some good ideas for spotting better… Remember that its the Friendly Island!
Enjoy yourself and have fun spotting :)
Please dont use my trash photos without permission… This was #iPhonePhotos! :)

Awesome photos you have there! My personal favourite is American A319 ❤. Although that KLM photo looks awesome from that angle 😊. Wish I can afford for a trip to Sint Maarteen someday 😞

SXM seems to be one of the best places for plane spotting. Nice pictures in there!

If you guys are on Mac I can help with that. It’s how I do all my photos.
I’ve got to add, I’m loving the guy at 5:00 in the KLM picture posing, just pointing it out.
