From an "old timer" at BSV, I can't wait to get there when I'm on my way to SXM.

This April we had won 3 nights at a lovely B&B on the French side, where we had planned on staying first.
Even though we were looking forward to the experience---close to Grand Case and some different beaches---we
wanted BSV as our final destination, since it feels like home after all these years.

We could unpack and enjoy our special place.
We didn't want to pack and then stay at a different place for 3 nights before leaving.

It's all what you prefer, but I'm sure if you stay at BSV you will be happy.........
