We just got back home (we have 2 feet of snow right now) after 9 days in the “new” SXM paradise. Rented from Kenny’s and stayed at el Zafiro. We were able to spend time with our several SXM friends! We enjoyed every second of our trip. Spread our tourist dollars all over the island. Never felt unsafe. I could repeat what others have stated but I guess we are easy going and we feel so incredibly fortunate to have been able to go so soon after the storm and see with our own eyes. We are planning to return in Feb. We Simply can not wait to go back!!!!
