We honeymooned in St. Thomas in 1987. My gynecologist owned a timeshare in Anse Marcel and kept urging me to check out SXM.

So in 1991 we spent a week in St. Thomas and flew to SXM for a week. We stayed at Point Pirouette.

We really had not researched the island and didn't realize that there was a Dutch and a French side!

Three years later we returned and stayed in the Orient area at what was then Green Cay Villas....Jim Ruos (RIP) was our "guide" to the area.

Eventually we were able to return each year (except for hurricane years).

We stayed in the Orient area 8 times, Oyster Pond twice, Cupecoy 3 times, and now gravitate toward Pelican Key.

TTOL parties introduced us to folks who have become dear friends!
