We were in SXM for our first visit, but not last, in May staying at Grand Case Beach Club. Our favorite restaurants, so far, in Grand Case were Bistrot Caraibes, La Villa, and the Lolos for lunch. We enjoyed a day trip to Orient Beach with a stop at the butterfly farm and two snorkeling trips on catamarans. If you are not going to be driving a whole lot, I would highly recommend using Wilfred Brooks as your driver. He is very nice, reliable, and inexpensive. No matter where we wanted to go on the island, he charged $30-$40 round trip, and we did not have to worry about renting, insurance, finding our way, safety, or parking. We will be using him again when we are there.
