Not uncommon now for even big name brand hotels to cut back on housekeeping to save money. On SXM we just stayed at Marys Boon Hotel on Simpson Bay a month ago but they did provide daily housekeeping and sheet change as required or requested at no extra charge. It's nice to come back from the beach and have everything clean, looking and smelling good and one reason we love a hotel that provides services like housekeeping , Restaurant, Bar, etc and good staff. It's very hard to find good staff now and why services in Restaurants , hotels etc slow or slacking. The Island seemed very busy too.
