Page updated July 14, 2009

IMPORTANT:

1) Your username is the email address with which you joined JMB Website Supporters, or your current email address IF you notified our Membership Services Department it has changed. Information on notifying us about address changes was included in your welcome letter, but more info on that subject is at the bottom of this page. Note: Changing your email address for the "free" weekly newsletter does not affect the email address on record in our JMB Website Supporters member database. You MUST notify us directly to change the member database record of your email address, when you start using a new email address. See page bottom.

2) Your password was sent to you when you joined JMB Website Supporters. If you don't remember it, use the instructions below to get a new one through our automated system. Passwords are available ONLY through this automated system and not by emailing us.

IF YOU KNOW YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD, GO TO THE SECRET SITE HERE:
Log In to the JMB Website Supporters Secret Website

Accessing the secret site for the first time?

Our automated password system requires all JMB Website Supporters members to create their own personal new password (eight characters preferred). The following shows you how.

TO SET YOUR PASSWORD PRIOR TO VISITING THE SECRET SITE FOR THE FIRST TIME THROUGH OUR AUTOMATED PASSWORD SYSTEM:

Before logging into the JMB Website Supporters members-only secret website for the first time, all members must create their own personal new password. You have already been sent an email with a temporary password. (If you don't know where that email is, see the next section.)

To create a permanent password, please do the following:

1. Click the link here to go to our "password retrieval" page: Click Here to Get a New Password

2. On that page, type your email address all in lowercase (no capital letters at all).

3. Under "username," again type your email address all in lowercase (no capital letters at all).

4. Under "old password," type the temporary password we emailed to you, again all in lowercase type.

5. On the last line, type in your new password -- the one you want to create on your own -- also all in lowercase type. Please be sure it is eight characters long, preferably a combination of letters and numbers, all lowercase.

6. Click "Modify Password" and your new password will become effective immediately. You can then go directly to the secret site and log into the secret site using your email address (in lowercase) as your username, and the password you just created.

7. Be sure you type all information in lowercase...otherwise the system will not accept it. If the process doesn't work (which rarely happens), get a new password using the technique described next, and use that to access the secret site.

8. If you have any difficulty accessing the secret site after following the above directions, see our member support page.

HOW TO RECOVER YOUR PASSWORD IF YOU FORGET IT OR MISPLACE IT & HOW TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD:

1. Click the following link to go to our "password retrieval" page: Click here to Change or Recover Your Password

2. On that page, type your email address all in lowercase (no capital letters at all).

3. Click "send new password" and a new password will be sent to the email address we have on file.

4. If your email address changes, you must write directly to JMB Website Supporters to tell us, so we can update our database and continue to send Low Airfare Bulletins and other important member updates to you. To notify us of a change in your email address, email us at  nospamtracy@jmbcommunications.com (eliminate "nospam" when you send the email please).

Just Joined? Please Read This:

New memberships are processed in priority order. Phoned-in or faxed memberships are usually processed in a few hours, or within 24 hours at most; PayPal signups, 48-72 hours, and ground-mailed sign-ups are processed after the others.  Once your membership is recorded in our member database, we add you to the secret site member mailing list so you will receive emailed Low Airfare Bulletins and other emailed JMB Website Supporters communications. You are also added to our weekly "free" email newsletters, which often refer you to parts of the secret website, and your email address is entered into our password system. Once these things are done, we send you a welcome letter detailing your member benefits and telling you how to access them. Shortly thereafter, our automated password system emails you a temporary secret site password which you can either keep or change right on this page.

Welcome to JMB Website Supporters!
Once you have your password, use these links:

Go to Everything St. Maarten Website | Log In to the JMB Website Supporters Secret Website

Members' Message Board:

Go to our secret site home page and you'll find a link to the Members Message Board there. It has a separate password that you'll also find on the secret site.

How To Notify Us When Your Email Address Changes:

First, email nospamtracy@jmbcommunications.com (eliminate "nospam" when you send the email please) to advise our JMB Website Supporters Membership Services Department of the address change. You MUST include your full name and street address so we can ensure that we edit the correct record. We will process it and you will be notified when processing has been completed. You cannot currently change our JMB Website Supporters database record of your email address yourself.

Second, your subscription to our "free" weekly newsletter is handled differently. You must subscribe your new address, and unsubscribe your old address, yourself. You can do both here. Again, this affects only the free newsletter and NOT your JMB Website Supporters membership or access to the "secret" members' website.

Thank you for your membership in JMB Website Supporters!

St. Maarten and St. Martin Timeshare Condominium & Vacation Rentals -- For Rent or Sale by Owners
HOW THIS PAGE WORKS: Members of JMB Website Supporters can post free timeshare rental / sale ads here. Members who own timeshare weeks must provide the exact dates of the week being rented since many renters do not know what week numbers mean. When submitting an ad, you must EXACTLY follow the format we use below. Ads should be submitted to the email address supplied to JMB Website Supporters; submit ads as far in advance of the "use" date as possible (a year ahead isn't too soon).

Low-cost airfare to St. Maarten/St. Martin/SXM!
We are frequently asked how you can find the lowest airfares. We have one red-flag warning to everyone who is searching for the lowest fares: if possible, never search at the last minute. Hunting for low airfares when you have a tight short-term deadline is the worst way to buy tickets...

Summit Resort: Our Favorite Hotel/Timeshare in SXM
We visit St. Maarten often enough to have selected accommodations which feel a bit like home -- friendly, comfortable, and convenient. Usually, you'll find us at Summit Resort, on a hilltop in the Cupecoy area overlooking Simpson Bay Lagoon. We first went there 24 years ago on a charter. It's a great place, totally rebuilt after 1995 Hurricane Luis. Summit offers both hotel accommodations and timesharing with all the amenities.

Tips for Enjoying St. Maarten / St. Martin for People With Disabilities
My husband, Marty, has Chronic Progressive
Multiple Sclerosis. What this means is that his Multiple Sclerosis symptoms will
continue to progress. Currently Marty uses a wheelchair all the time. This can
make some things difficult for travel.

Vacation Packing List
Depending on where you're going, who is going with you (spouse / significant other / parents / grandparents / friends / kids) you'll want to change this list. However, if you've ever forgotten anything important and then been faced with the cost of replacing it while away, that can be a pain. We hope this list helps!

About Your Safety in St. Maarten / St. Martin
Is there crime in St. Maarten? Unfortunately the only place where we think there ISN'T crime these days is Antarctica. The crime rate is lower than many other islands. We have always felt quite safe there, but the island is not crime-free and savvy tourists always take precautions. (It's paradise, not utopia.)

St. Maarten / St. Martin Wildlife
One of the fascinating things about SXM is its abundant wildlife. This section gives you a glimpse of some of it... updated 2009.

An Overview of St. Maarten/St. Martin History & Culture
The history of the Caribbean is filled with stories of colonial imperialism where islands changed hands from country to country. St. Maarten was no ace in the imperial holdings, but had its share of skirmishes and smoky gun battles, which caused the island to change hands many times between the Spanish, Dutch, English and French powers.

Airlines Flying to St. Maarten / St. Martin, and How To Get Low-Cost Airfares
We are frequently asked how you can find the lowest airfares. We have one red-flag warning to everyone who is searching for the lowest fares: if possible, never search at the last minute. Hunting for low airfares when you have a tight short-term deadline is the worst way to buy tickets. Some people join JMB Website Supporters expecting to find low airfares overnight. If sales are underway [wholesale, retail, or unadvertised], they'll succeed. On the other hand, if sales are not underway when you are looking for fares, you will have to be patient to find the fares you want.

Medical Preparations for Travel To St. Maarten / St. Martin
Perhaps two years ago, we first mentioned "emergency medical evacuation." This story tells you what "medical evacuation" has to do with you, and why taking care of this before your next trip is so important.


First a brief personal note. In 1996, I contracted "Ciguatera" (which I had never heard of) in the tropics. I won't tell you all the symptoms (you may be having your morning coffee and a bagel), but I lost about 40 lbs in a month. Andy at Baywatch on Orient Beach later told me he saw a guy fall off a stool at a restaurant, overcome by Ciguatera. (Google it). Bottom line, I got better and am fine, but it could have been much worse....
