Comfortable travel is more reasonably priced on Sint Eustatius than on most Caribbean islands; expect to spend US$150-200 a day, depending on dive trips and car rentals. Those whose pursuits lean to the frugality of footing it up the mountain will spend closer to US$100 a day. Self catering can keep your costs closer to US$60 a day or less.

US dollars and traveler's checks are accepted nearly everywhere; you can use credit cards at car rental agencies, larger hotels and a few shops.

There's a 7% accommodation tax in Statia and hotels tack on a 10% to 15% service charge, as do restaurants. Tipping is not necessary.
