CRAVE
turqwater
11 hours ago
Before the hurricane, Crave was one of my favorite restaurants. It did not reopen after that. I heard that the chef/owner of Crave is now working elsewhere. Does anyone know where?

Two quick questions.
1. Has anyone been there since the reopening last month? Thoughts if you have.
2. Does the pool get afternoon sun?
Thanks.

Our last night / sitting at airport
mahokid
09/08/2026 05:31 PM
Been a great 17 days and well be back in 50 weeks.
This has been our most relaxing visit yet, doing almost nothing.
Dinning out took a whole new turn since seeing a nutrionist.
While we had breakfast and almost all lunches in, dinner just wasn't as exciting knowing we would be full half way through our entrees.
Traffic only seemed bad on both our Saturday travels.
Pretty much sticked to our Dinning agenda but missed Jai because of sept 1st closing and didn't have the appetite to drive back up to Orient to go to les galets.
For our last night and not hungry, we hit the burger bar.
Nothing special to talk about.
Gave $40 back to casino but still ahead $40 final.
Picked up lunch at Succiere, gassed up and dropped off leftovers for dogs along runway.
Dropped off car and through airport in 10 minutes
Au revior

Recs for Overnight trip to Anguilla
BarbyandLeo
09/07/2026 09:02 PM
Hi all!
I’ve been wanting to do a day trip to Anguilla since our first trip to SXM and every trip we get sand gravity and postpone it. This trip I decided I would make it happen…I booked a night there. We will leave on the ferry from Marigot Thursday morning, stay overnight and return Friday early afternoon. Plan on going to Shoal Bay East upon arrival. Spend the day, eat lunch and check in to the hotel in the afternoon. We will be staying in Sandy Ground, so we would be having dinner/drinks in that area (walking). Next morning, check out and spend the morning and have lunch at another beach…Meads Bay or Rendezvous? Return to SXM in the early pm…
The questions I have are: Where can we park and leave the car in Marigot for a day+? Is there a specific parking for the ferry travelers? Or should we take a taxi there and back? Do we rent a car in Anguilla or should we cab it? Any special hangouts/places to go?
Any suggestions/recommendations are very much appreciated!

Our Weekend
BarbyandLeo
09/07/2026 04:01 PM
Friday came and my plans quickly changed from spending a beach day at Mullet to staying close to “home” as my stomach was not feeling well. We are not used to eating greasy/fried foods nowadays and I paid the price by eating ribs at the lolos. Oh well…we spent the day at the pool. Later I found out that Mahokid had gone to Mullet and looked for us to surprise us, bummer!
Saturday: I still was not at my best, Mahokid invited us to join them at Cool Heure but I thought I should take it easy on my stomach and as much as we regretted it, I declined. We went to Philipsburgh with the idea of doing lunch and some shopping. The boardwalk was pretty much dead, lots of places closed. It was very hot and we were drenched in sweat as we walked around looking for a place to eat. I decided to get our car and drive to Chesterfields for a “light” meal. I opted for the fresh Mahi-Mahi broiled, with a side of salad and rice (not fries). The Mahi was delicious and much more than I needed to eat…but I did finish it! I ate the salad, but left the rice which wasn’t at all appetizing. Leo had a club sandwich which he didn’t enjoy…they don’t put mayo on it.
That evening, still feeling pretty full, we went to Orient Village to get “something” to eat. We decided on Roasty’s we shared a plate with rotisserie chicken, ribs and sausage with a potato side that was very good (lots of oil/butter). I had a piece of the chicken and left Leo to eat the rest. We enjoyed the meal and Leo decided to have a dessert. 15 minutes after getting the menu, nobody had come to take the order. At that point he refused dessert and complained to that server. There were four servers attending to the diners (maybe half full) I think consistency was the problem.
Sunday: We gladly accepted Mahokid’s invite to join him and his wife for Rendezvous Jazz Brunch. As we got there to meet them it started pouring! It rained for about half an hour, which was fine, we waited for a table that was protected from the rain. We had a wonderful time sharing the afternoon with them and glad I was feeling much better. I had the chicken Caesar salad and Leo had the Mahi burger, both were very good choices. Along with some drinks and nice company we enjoyed the jazz band. It was a great day and a perfect way to spend a rainy day…what else could you ask for???
Ended the day doing a couple loads of laundry and cooking a lite meal at “home” to accompany the wine.

Return to Oasis happy hour
mahokid
09/07/2026 12:57 PM
Still a bit full from jazz brunch, we waddled across the street for happy hour at the Oasis bar.
We repeated the excellent calamari from the Roma menu as well as the wings from Mr Chow.
We ordered the smallest sushi platter call the boat in which we chose the lobster roll, angry dragon roll, 3 hamachi pieces and 2 pieces of salmon.
It was big to say the least knowing any leftovers would be for tomorrow's lunch and still pretty good if left out at room temperature for awhile.
$55 + $8 upgrade for chosing the lobster upgrade
Next time just the boat will do good for dinner.
With only 3 couples at the bar, the service was lacking as the empty plates sat in front of us until we asked for them to be removed.
I requested water and he forgot but was on his phone.
It drives me crazier to see servers on their phones in front of customers or even on their phones at all.
Pay attention to your guests.
Even our welcome and any friendliness were not good.
It seems that they weren't happy!
We gave our condolences to Marco and mentioned all the condolences from fellow traveltalkonline members.
He is doing okay but still a shock.
Being at work which keeps him busy will be good therapy.
We more than double our $20 investment at casino royale on the only machine that seems to be good to us.
Up $80 for the week.
Yahoo and we are having fun.
Today will be our last day, you know relax, do wash, semi pack, a lot of pool if weather allows, say good bye to week 36 friends.
Going to be tough dinner decision as we aren't food hungry!
Thanks all for following along.
Pool gravity was extremely strong this trip as we chilled everyday
Already planning next year, either visit friends in Saba or Anguilla
Not bad choices

09/07/2026 11:36 AM
on recent trip we made rare detour trip to Westin/Marriott and noticed the docks that used to house massive nunber of sailboats/charter sailboats was nothing but piling stumps.
were they not insured? or did they take the check and say goodbye.
in the past we had easily parked in westin garage and walked around, now they had a manned gate and had to be a guest so we didnt. is the casino gone
