I am in SXM now and have been told that Le Plage will be open this winter season and a lot is being done in the Maho area.
We have been here for 5 weeks and this has been of our best trips to the Island in many years. Everyone here has been fantastic and friendly. The restaurants are mostly open and the beaches have been Super.
In my opinion, SXM is the best place to come to if you want a full round out vacation.
