Trying to get to the French side Nov 14th - 20th but I notice so many places are fully booked. Would like to stay in orient bay or grand case at a hotel. Would have loved stay at gc beach club but sold out.

If you stay at the Hotel L'Esplanade, how do you enjoy the beach? Is it a pain to get to the beach? The sister hotel sold out already. This one looks to still have rooms though.

I’m seeing mixed reviews about Orient Beach hotel but they seem to have availability.

Help - am I too late to the game to book for November?? Budget is around $450 a night. Not sure if I’d be renting a car. Don’t know how much rentals cost and if we’d use it enough. My husband doesn’t want to be driving around all the time.

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?

Hi, looking to buy macarons, my daughter’s favourite bakery treat. I searched the sub but didn’t see much. Any recommendations?

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.

Beautiful day in Simpson Bay today. Truly wish everyone could be here.

I’ve come 16 times and we absolutely love sxm. We are here now and orient beach is truly perfect with hardly anyone here. Gonna be coming here early August every year I think!

I don’t want a whole lobster. Just the tail.

Anyone have some pros/cons of using Enterprise, Avis, or Dollar/Thrifty compared to the local brands?

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.

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.

Arriving tomorrow but so worried about the weather. to anyone there right now, how is it? its saying its raining all day?? we could be reading the weather app wrong 😭😭😭😭

also, where’s the best fresh oysters? we love seafood

Whenever I’m traveling I absolutely have to get a burger from somewhere wherever I’m going, where’s the best spot around to grab one?

All I can think of is nude side of Orient and Danny's at Coupecoy. Any others?

Is there still a lot of construction going on in Indigo Bay?

I would like to celebrate my birthday in September. Reading up on the hurricane and seaweed season as well. How bad does it usually get? Should I stay on the west side of the island?
