Our firsttrip to SXM was in 1978....we stayed at the Caravanseri when it was a small hotel with a delightful bar on the promentory over the water. We took a hotel shuttle every evening to Muttlet Bay to their casino , where men were expected to wear jackets....the streets in Marigot were dirt roads and the water lapped right up against the sea wall in front of La Vie en Rose...NO PARKING LOT!
Some of the best restaurants were in Marigot fronting the water...Le Poisson D'or...one of my all time favorites. Claud's Mini Club had the best buffet then too....old timer.
Orient Beach had no facilities....just the rib shack ....allin all some good memories.....Island has changed...for the better? Some things....some not!
