We have traveled to SXM every year for 12 years, until our vacations came to an abrupt stop in 2017. I haven’t been on here (Traveltalk) to often, maybe a couple times a year, but want to try to head back to the island, if it is ready. Here are our concerns:

1. We had booked a villa for Nov., 2017 at Dawn beach for the first time in that area. The villa was completely destroyed, but has since been built back. What % of that area is back to normal? Are there restaurants open etc.? Is the casino back? Is it SAFE? Are the tourists actually back?

2. Covid seems to be on the retreat. Is there any hassles getting to and back from the island? We have had Covid and been vaccinated and plan no other actions.

3. Is the airport working ok?

4. Rental cars back to normal?

We are just being very cautious, before we start booking.
Anything we are missing?

Thanks, Mark & Linda
