We have made several trips over the last 10 years to Philipsburg, St-Martin. Belgian Chocolate Box is one of the two places we stop at just to stock up on the best chocolate in the world. If you happen to be lucky enough to arrive when she only has a few customers Beatrix is really nice person who will explain... More

We stopped by in a rain storm to buy some famous Belgian chocolates. Our conversation with Beatrix was a delight. She's a real charmer.

We stopped here on our way back to our cruise ship and purchased a few chocolates. They are all delicious, but the Coconut Creams are the best I have ever had. I went to their website to purchase some online after we returned home. Alas, they are not currently taking orders online. I would love to buy some for friends... More

This is a little shop that I had read about on cruise critics stating that this is the best souvenir from St. Maarten. They have 75 different chocolate flavors. We sampled the dark chocolate with peanut butter - yum. We purchased a box of mixed dark chocolates, along with a bag of the caramel wafer cookies. The staff was very... More

My husband and I stopped in our trip to St. Maarten. It is a super small store downtown. We asked for milk chocolate, milk chocolate with peanut butter and milk chocolate with carmel. They gave us something other than carmel, and we did not like it. Since it was half of our box, we were disappointed. :(. We also picked... More

Purchase the delicious treats after attending shopping briefing and establishing my gift shopping strategy. Thought chocolate was a can't go wrong gift. These were a featured sale item, buy 1 get one 1/2 price. If I had known how good these were I would have purchased more. Very friendly staff and just melted in your mouth with the surprise carmel...

We stumbled upon this lovely little shop by accident while wandering down Front Street. They greeted us with free samples and big smiles. The chef (and I think owner) was a tiny little woman in a big hat, she popped out to say hi and when I asked about "haystacks" her eyes seemed to light up. Haystacks are chocolate and... More

We go to see Bea every summer and buy several boxes of her delicious chocolates for ourselves and also as gifts for friends. Her chocolate is all hand-made and absolutely the best chocolate ever. There are many flavors and varieties to pick from and it's great to be able to decide exactly which ones to make a personal box. Bea... More
