You don't have to drink alcohol to enjoy the music at some places like Red Piano. Or the show at Cheri's. There's also a show at L'Escargot in Phillipsburg but I'm not sure if it's a dinner show.

The Herald Newspaper (available online) lists what going on---I think it's in Thursday's edition.

About TV---Where are you staying? We stay at Divi on occasion and they have the full cable channels. When we stay at Grand Case Beach Club in Grand Case there's more than one English channel but we find the French one amusing. And watching it made lead to "other evening activities" that married (and not) couples indulge in.

There's a cinema complex in Simpson Bay. I believe there's bowling. And there must be dancing on the island. Someone is sure to post where.

We are in our late 60's-70's and have being going to SXM since 1979. We have always enjoyed music venues. We used to stay out late, drinking, but as the years passed we find our entertainment is dinner on the French side and drive ---or walk-- back to our unit to sleep. In all those years we have never spent much time on the beaches or in casinos. We rent a car tour the island to see what's new, pick out where we will dine each evening, catch the late afternoon sun and sunset before going back out to dine. Certain evenings we watch the TV shows we've become addicted to. We find the air makes us sleepy and we go to bed by 11 after we've had a great meal. Every visit we say were going to Red Piano and never make it .

If you love to relax on the beach you'll find "sand gravity" sets in and you don't want to to much more.
