Pelican Beach Grill...or similar suggestion
wabid
2 minutes ago
One of our party is leaving Wednesday and really would like to have a nice and casual sunset dinner. Hopefully in the vicinity of the the Simpson Bay Resort. They wondered if the Pelican grill at the Hilton Flamingo is a good option. Opinions or perhaps other suggestions?
Thx!

Day 1-3 Report
wabid
Yesterday at 11:43 AM
I will start by saying that our trip reports will tend to be repetitive.
As a family we have been coming to Saint Martin and the SBR for a number of years. Consequently we very much have an "Island routine". We had a major lull of 6 years after the hurricane due to the birth of our daughter, work and various other challenges of "life". Our lull ended 2 years ago and we hope to visit with greater frequency (planning & negotiations ongoing) That being the case…the routine endures.
My day begins with a cup of coffee on the balcony/patio accompanied with a pan au chocolat (perhaps the world's greatest breakfast). From my perch I watch the world go by. Eventually I leave my perch for the beach to continue monitoring the earth's rotation. Be comforted to know If the worlds starts to deviate from its axis, this forum will be the first to know. You're welcome…
Earth rotational QC monitoring need not be continuous, so there is time for frolicking in the waves and snorkeling (pictures hopefully in later reports). The day ends with assuring the sun sets at the correct time, position and desired intensity. No thanks required.
Day 1 was Daddy/Daughter day. Emma and I sent the day visiting the pool(s) and the ocean. It was great relaxing fun, especially for Emma. I told her she will soon be growing a mermaid tail.
While we were playing, Jodi, her sister and niece went to Phillipsburg for provisions. They did an awesome job stocking up and predicting our needs. We all like to cook so we make most of our meals ourselves. (sorry, not many restaurant reviews from us) It is one the things we love about SBR. Well equipped kitchens and well maintained grills.
Day 2 was water frolicking for all and an excellent dinner of spiced whole chicken from Carrefour roasted on the grill.
Day3 was my general routine (see above) while the ladies visited the Marigot market. We reunited at the large "B" pool for happy hour. We ended the day with grilled ribs rubbed with jerk spices from the market and watching the Brewers game. (I'm a nerd, so we can stream games here.)
Routine will continue today….

AA just published their schedule for the May 8 weekend we have our fixed week and I bought our redeye tickets leaving SEA at 10:29pm and connecting through CLT FC for 1100+ each one way. Was able to use our two 125.00 credits for a total cost of 2010.00. Now have to wait another four weeks to book our return. Hopefully with miles. Countdown begins.
