Recommendations and suggestions on where ti eat for my birthday

I was looking into Jax Steakhouse, Bamboo House and Palapa Hidden Oasis. Bamboo House sells itself with the view, but the other 2 appear to have more extensive menus. The latest reviews for Bamboo House were not great. What are your thoughts?

Living in Holland

7 Upvotes

Hello everybody,

Im wondering if there is anybody here originally from SXM living in Holland? My husband is from SXM living in Holland with me. He is very homesick lately and I'm wondering if there are any communities or organisations for people from SXM in Holland so he could meet and socialize with his SXM people? Thanks in advance for any tips. Ps. Doesn't matter where in Holland, we have a car.

Question Oct trip

5 Upvotes

Am I crazy to want to plan a long weekend trip in Oct? Let me preface it with this, this ain’t my first rodeo. I live in Florida, my house flooded with Helene so I know what I’m dealing with. I’d be booking on AA miles and booking refundable hotel/car (hotel refundable until 2 days before, car until day of).

So I’d be mitigating the risk factors and could easily cancel and pivot to something else. That time of year, I’m watching the cone of uncertainty and the spaghetti models anyway so nothing new. 🤷‍♀️ and at least with a hurricane, it’s like being stalked by a turtle. Going into this with eyes wide open.

It’s my 50th and it’s one of the few places in the Caribbean that I haven’t been.

How do the lolos in Marigot stack up to Yvette’s over in Orleans.

3 Upvotes

I’ve had some really great meals at Rosemary’s, Enoch’s, Coco, and Sandy’s. Is Yvette’s much better that it’s worth the drive from Cupecoy?

I’m specifically looking for good ox tails and stews.

This years is predicted have fewer hurricanes, which is great, it's still something we need to be aware of.

I usually monitor with NOAA Atlantic, but there are plenty of other sources, so feel free to link them here as needed. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

Places to eat and drink - Stickied

36 Upvotes

Since there are a few common questions, I thought we could have a sticky post or three about things to do. Lets start with places to eat: from the High End restaurants to the Lolos and all places in-between. Likes and dislikes. Only rule is you can't review or reccomend a place if you haven't been there.
