I am very sorry to read that many people seem to have had trouble getting items stolen from their vehicles while hiking here. I lived here for a year and hiked Pic Paradis many times and never had a problem. Granted, I never wore any jewellery or left any valuables in my vehicle while parked up there. It is a... more

We discovered this on accident. Followed the crazy steep road to the top, parked near the telcom tower and walked the last minute down the dirt road to the view. What a view it was. Even though it started raining on us while we were up there, the spectacular views definitely made it worth the trip. You can get a... more

I am so surprised to see that other people had the same experience we did at Paradise Peak. We went on the trail, looked at the view. Went back to the rental car, to find money stolen from one of those plastic cases you use when you snorkel. Weren't sure at first, but when we got to the next stop... more

The view is not worth several hundred dollars, an iPod, and some jewlery -- we now know why all the resorts and villas have gated entrances. Treat the island as if it were an inner city populated by very stealthy and efficient thieves, which just happens to be surrounded by some nice beaches. Why the local tourism board has not... more

Do not even consider going to paradise peak!!! Myself and two other ladies drove to the top and then walked the last little bit. Admired the view, took some photos.

I wish I had read the review from June 13th before my family trip to St. Martin! My wife had purchased a book exclusively about St. Martin .....places to go.......things to do. One of the points of interest was Paradise Peak. So, on Tuesday June 29, 2004 we were driving around the island when my wife noticed a sign pointing... more

While driving up the steep mountain, we passed a suspicious-looking elderly man just before reaching the peak. There was no parking lot at the top -- only a dead end to the road. My wife and I parked the car and began heading down a trail to reach the lookout. About 45 seconds into our hike, my wife was nervous... more
