Coconut Bay St LuciaBeansbbqYesterday at09:51 PMHi all, Anyone ever go here? We booked it for 7 nights in April at a great rate. Just curious if anyone has any feedback. Thanks in advance.
We have arrivedbouchardaYesterday at08:49 PMSooooo...this might be a long story but I will try and keep it brief....
We left for SXM from PVD with a connection at JFK (decent layover incase of issues which there were none)..hung out at JFK..had a gate change but no biggie BUT when we were finally all boarded the captain of the aircraft came out and appologized that the navi system went kaput and we had to deplane and wait for a replacement aircraft. This went reasonably ok and 45 minutes later we were ready to reboard and get on our way....only a little over an hour delay...not that bad and better than flying over ocean with no navi/
We arrived at PJIA a tad after 5pm and found customs and immigration and the kiosks completely empty....nice
Checked into SBR and went to our 5th floor upper B building unit, changed our clothes and went to Lee's for our first Island meal which was fine...very busy but we were in no rush
After walking back to the condo I decided to take a shower and when I was in the BR I heard a crapload of noise from outside,,,so I decided to go to the deck and watch some really cool fireworks that were coming from what looked like close to Flamingo....watched them for quite some time and decided to capture some on video which was the end of the presentation...
After this I watched the NE Patriots win their playoff game....a good day
Trip To Grand CaseWhale TailYesterday at07:38 PMWe drove up Grand Case today but I think we picked the wrong day as alot of the shops were closed. But what really disappointed me was that the main reason for going was to go to Sébastien's and the new bakery Bisou Sucre and both were closed.
So we parked at the free lot and walked down to Captain Frenchy's for lunch. I knew I was getting a cheeseburger and fries and my wife ordered a assorted tapa plate. Both were disappointing. I took Carol's advice and ordered my burger medium well that was cooked to my liking, just a hint of pink but dry and the fries looked good but greasy. My wife's plate was also very greasy. Oh well.
The happy hour at Roma's yesterday was really good.
On the bright side the traffic to and from was the best I can remember.
Cypress CoveChuckGYesterday at01:30 PMIf there are any naturist golfers out there, come visit Cypress Cove and join us playing our 9-hole pitch n putt course au naturel. We just finished refurbishing the greens so they are ready for play! See pic.
Maho Beach CamGOTOSUNYesterday at12:42 PMFor 2nd day in a row I get a black screen with the message "This live stream recording is not available." when I open the Tortuga camera. Anyone else experiencing this, or know why?
T MobileSxmroyalislander01/11/202605:23 PMWe were on the island the beginning/middle of December and nobody in our party who has T Mobile as a cell phone carrier could receive any incoming phone calls. We all have international on our phones. We have been coming to the island for many years and have never had an issue.
I’m just wondering if anybody else has run into this issue?
sapphire Beach ClubDandG01/11/202602:03 PMWe're checking into Sapphire Beach Club tomorrow. If anyone has stayed lately I'd like to know if the elevator's are functional. 70 year olds don't do steps well!! Are the electrical outlets European or American?? First time on the Dutch side in the winter in 25 years. Thanks for all the help over the years. This has been our go-to site since 2001. Thank you Carol and Eric!!!
