"KPSM Special Team Arrests Suspect with Illegal Firearm and Narcotics on Christmas Eve
The Special team of the police force of Sint. Maarten (KPSM) remained vigilant on Christmas Eve, conducting routine controls and preventative searches throughout the island to ensure public safety during the holiday season.
On December 24, 2025, officers from the Special Team stopped the rider of a red and white scooter in the Fort Willem area for a routine check. During a preventative search, officers discovered a 9mm pistol loaded with six rounds of live ammunition in the suspect's bag, along with a small quantity of narcotics.
The suspect with initials T.J.L was immediately arrested and transported to the police station, where he remains in custody pending further investigation.
This arrest underscores KPSM's unwavering commitment to combating illegal firearms and narcotics trafficking on Sint Maarten. The Special Team will continue to conduct controls and preventative searches at all hours and in all locations as part of ongoing efforts to keep the community safe.
KPSM urges residents to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to the authorities."

SXM Luggage tags
gitter
Yesterday at 06:20 PM
Many......Many years ago I bought SXM luggage tags.
There a were bendable green plastic with SXM on the other side.
Are theses still available?
I've looked and the current ones on line are a blah hard plastic thing.
Any other places to have an alternate tag would be helpful.
Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2026

Kalatua on Mullet Bay

12/24/2025 05:50 PM
Has anybody been to Katalua, what did you think? I believe I saw this on YouTube or the internet. It looks like a party! We were on mullet Bay for a second in low season and I didn't even notice it. Maybe it just wasn't happening because of the time of year or because it was the daytime. On the clip that I saw the food looked good. Also they talked about being taken there on a golf cart from Maho?

Final walk and a short recap of stay
Alltech63
12/24/2025 02:58 PM
So we fly home tomorrow thru Miami for some reason there is not a non stop to CLT on Xmas day.
I did my usual morning loop around Happy and Friar's bay I actually saw a few people running and they looked very good in there spunky fashion outfits verse's me in my
Tilly hat tee shirt and baggy shorts but I did have the better looking shoes  I am the kind of guy who does care how I look as long as my feet feel great.
What a wonderful vacation this has been all 3 places we were fortunate enough to stay at had there own special vibe.
Best breakfast was Karibuni followed by L'Esplanade and Blue Emerald.
Quietest was also Karibuni though all 3 were pretty quiet all had exceptional views.
Karibuni is definitely the most secluded as there is not many places close to walk to for food and is more a residential setting.
Definitely need a car there.
L'Esplanade and Blue Emerald are much closer to the action of Grand Case so that made it easy to walk to dinner without having to find parking and parking was provided at all 3 places we stayed.
All 3 places had kitchenette's with BE having a washer which is why that was our last stop. Each place provided a variety of kitchen ware glasses anything you would need to cook.
All 3 were very clean and daily room service and cleaning each day if you wished it was provided.
Definitely had some great food and cocktails and wine (wife).
Did a lot of people watching and I saw a view nudists some on orient (not on the nude end either) and 1 morning at Happy I popped out above Danny's chicken shack as I went to Friars 1st that day.
I noticed what I thought at first was a woman on the far end of Happy who immediately started walking towards me but it was an older man buck naked and i think instead of him trying to shock me I actually shocked him as we played chicken walking towards each other as we passed and made eye contact the inner AH in me could not resist asking him if he had put some sun screen on that thing hate to see it get burned he just smiled.
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and thanks for putting up with my daily postings the last couple weeks.
I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did posting them.

SXM Entry Form
DandG
12/24/2025 01:42 PM
Is anyone having trouble with the SXM entry form?
I received an email stating that my form has been received but trying to review my form from the email I get a 502 bad gateway error.
all other sites open fine.
I'm assuming their system is down. It happens on my desktop computer and my android phone.
thanks

Vacation in Paradise_ Part I
sethd1
12/24/2025 09:07 AM
Truly was a vacation in Paradise . This vacation to Sxm was the first time we brought anyone along with us. We had an extra week at our timeshare, La Vista, from either Covid or Irma hold over. We had bought a Penthouse at La Vista in roughly 2009 through Caribbean Al , though will elaborate on that in a different post So we decided to bring my wife's sister and their family best friend.
They were over the moon, at what great time we showed them. Myself and my wife have been to St Martin close to 10 times. They had a penthouse one door down from us and would wake up every morning and either text us or come over with some food and sit on our patio with one of the best views in St Maarten and ask, what are we doing today? We would either walk down Billy Folly to Top Carrot or the French Bakery (I think Le Saucerie?)a couple doors down or get in the car and go to the most beautiful beaches or restaurants on the island
We flew out of LAX on the red eye with a stop in Miami and spend a couple hours in the Centurion Lounge. Any Lounge is a lifesaver especially on a layover. Luckily my AmEx card which I pay way too much money for gets us into the lounge. Though the money spent on the card is worth it if you're going to travel a lot. For the first time we flew into Anguilla and out of Sxm.
It was actually cheaper than doing a round trip to Sxm. Spent two days in Anguilla and seven in St Martin.
The first night we went to Meads Bay but none of the restaurants were open because of the low season. So as we were driving we saw R&D barbecue, which is a fabulous Barbecue on the front lawn of someone's home. The food was excellent. We were staying at the great beach house which was pretty close to Dune Preserve, so Sunday night we went and hung out with Bankie and the gang. We had met and hung out with him 2 years ago at Elvis's bar, through a friend from the Driftwood Boat Bar in Maho.
I am a die-hard Celtic fan so hanging out at Elvis's was excellent cuz obviously Elvis loves the Celtics!!
The following day we went to Shoal Bay and then took the ferry to St Martin.
