June and even late May, some places are open, but with a limited menu and reduced operation. Without mentioning a place by name, we went to dinner to find--the online menu, mentioning music, specific menu items, and specials--not correct at all--NO Music, the menu item we wanted--not available. Lesson learned--if you really want to be sure, call and ask the important questions. No apologies, just a shrug of shoulders. No attempt to update the website. Bad business in our opinion. This was last June.


wetone,

With all due respect, your complaint re the restaurant websites doesn't surprise me at all and I don't think it's so much a seasonal issue but more of a Caribbean attitude. "What? No problem, Mon". They often seem to take everything in stride and do things as the spirit moves them.

With regard to the website, you are absolutely correct. A quick phone call to confirm is called for rather than depending on their websites, but that's often the case here at home, too.

People throughout the Caribbean seem to take things more for granted than we do and don't stress about them. Not sure that's a bad thing, but I get your frustration! We've had similar situations all times of the year so we just learned to go with whatever, and if we're really disappointed, we move on down the road. We never go hungry on SXM! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
