Dutchie here, we do the same. Everybody speaks (some form of) English, almost everything is also available in English.

This is true but also keep in mind that Dutch is still leading in most cases. E.g. if you have a contract that's both in English and Dutch, if issues arise the Dutch translation will usually be the one that is followed

Dutch is still leading in most cases.

Sint Maarten should check-in and tell us about the English-Dutch separation and the class system it all but foments. It's 90% fascinating if 10% disappointing.

The Dutch speak better English than some parts of England.
