"great area can leave resort and get excellent food." — source Orbitz

"Just a couple of tips: (1) to get away from the crowd skip the hotel beach and take the local bus to Arashi or Baby beach where you can rent a canopy & chairs for a small fee (2) everything retail, including Oranjestaad downtown shopping areas pretty much shuts down on Sunday so take a snorkel excursion that day instead (Mon & Sun are Red Sail's least busy days) (3) if you ride, take a guided Harley tour for a quick overview of the island (4) I agree with the comment below, get your cocktails." — source Travelocity
