Hi there,
The Dutch side (Saint Maarten) uses 110V, 60Hz, while the French side
uses 220V, 50Hz.
This is from Frommers:
Electricity - Dutch St. Maarten uses the same voltage (110-volt AC, 60
cycles) with the same electrical configurations as the United States,
so adapters and transformers are not necessary. However, on French St.
Martin, you'll need transformers and adapters. To simplify things,
many hotels on both sides of the island have installed built-in
sockets suitable for both European and North American appliances.
