How to Spend Your Next St Maarten Vacation With Chefs

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - May 3, 2016

An all-inclusive vacation with a gourmet twist.

That’s the offer from St Maarten’s Sonesta Ocean Point resort, which is hosting a new gastronomic experience on May 24-206.

The “A Chefs Night” package includes culinary creations and events with some of the top chefs from Sweden.

It’s the brainchild of Chef Görgen Tidén, and will include dinners featuring Scandinavian-French-Caribbean at the hotel’s Azul restaurant, a series of “Mingle with the Chefs” pre-dinner receptions at the hotel’s rooftop lounge, a shopping tour with chefs including an excursion to a local St Maarten markets and a cooking class to learn “how to master culinary techniques.”
