Feedback would be appreciated

Hi everyone, We're looking forward to our return to SXM in two weeks for two weeks.
My daughter asked me for tips on a vacation she and her husband are planning this month. They are looking at an airbnb ocean front studio at the Sapphire Beach Club in the lowlands area. I don't have any experience with that part of St Martin or knowledge to offer her on the club. I would appreciate any feedback on the club or staying in that area. Thanks in advance.
She said, "We might be down there the same time as you guys." So I said, "Do you really want your parents along for an anniversary vacation?" She responded, "We don't want to share our room but dinner together would be nice." LOL Her father's daughter.
Looking forward to our vacation.

Cinco de Mayo

Yesterday at 02:49 PM
Hi all....
A little-known story about Cinco de Mayo, mostly known among older sailors like myself.
The Titanic was carrying a large cargo of mayonnaise from Europe. After the scheduled stop in New York, the ship was supposed to continue south toward VeraCruz, Mexico, where the mayonnaise cargo would be unloaded on May 5 i.e. Cinco de Mayo.
As we know, the Titanic never reached her destination. The Mexicans, hugely disappointed by the loss of the mayonnaise when the Titanic sunk, decided to commemorate the event every year, and called it Sinko De Mayo, which later became Cinco de Mayo.
Enjoy the parties, if you have any...

Casino Rec?

Yesterday at 01:13 PM
Hi all,
Arriving on Saturday for a week in my favorite place! I've lost count of the number of our visits, but we've been coming to the island since 2010.
Bringing my sister and brother-in-law for their first visit to the island. They love a good casino. We are not casino people, so aren't sure of the best place to go. I was thinking either Maho - doing dinner and the casino there or dinner at Isola at SBR and hitting the casino there.
Does anyone have any recommendations? If we did Maho - where would you suggest we do dinner?
We stay at Dawn Beach and generally don't venture to Maho in the evenings, so have not been to many restaurants in that area.
Would love to hear any and all suggestions/recommendations for best restaurants and casinos that people enjoy.
Thanks so much!

Dinner (i.e. not lunch) recommendations on Anegada?
Flotsam
05/04/2026 08:58 PM
Who's doing it best this spring? Wonky Dog, Lobster Trap, Reef Hotel, Sid's? It's been year or so since I've been, things change, want to give my crew (including my grand-kids!) a great experience. (Sorry to ask a frequently recurring question, but a search doesn't reveal any recent answers re/ a dinner recommendation on Anegada.)

Trip Report April 23-29

Great trip ended last week. Completed online entry form 14 days prior to travel, no problems filling out form & customs upon arrival was a breeze-less than 15 minutes from arrival to rental car meetup. Car rental from Leisure was a great experience. Newer, clean car & pickup & dropoff at airport were flawless. We stayed in same villa above Happy Bay we have used 5-6 trips before. Incredible view, spotless villa, wonderful host. Spent most days at Orient, south end. Moderate sargassum on day 1. Was removed by Cedric’s crew before 10am. Wind direction change over rest of week resulted in virtually no sargassum on Orient Beach rest of the week. Enjoyed terrific meals in Grand Cade & Orient Village-La Villa, Le Cottage, Bistrot Caribe’s & Astrolabe were the best. A little disappointed in Spiga this trip, not as good as before. Le Piment in the Village was good but not great. Overall a great visit & can’t wait to get back.
