Regardless, it's good to have plans, but understand that you may well toss everything in the dumper when you arrive. I have to say that most people who vacation on SXM rarely spend time at the beach at their hotel, as the other beaches are routinely much better. The same is true with restaurants at the hotel, most aren't that great. Divi's restaurants historically have been horrible, but I guess they are making an effort there to upgrade their restaurants. However, Divi is somewhat isolated from a lot of different restaurants, so you may end up eating there at least for the first night for sure. Get up the next morning and drive around to orient yourself, and look for places to eat, etc.

Especially since you're going to be there for such a short time, you might want to check with Jeannie at Shop n Drop (check the TTOL sponsors list) and order some drinks and snacks etc., to have in your room when you arrive. If your plane lands at 2:30, by the time you get through immigration, get your luggage, get your car and get to Divi, I would guesstimate that it will be 4 PM. So, either get some lunch to eat on the plane on the way down, or snacks, etc. for lunch, as it will be too late to think about 'lunch' by 4 PM. Depending on how you feel by that time, you may well want to stay at Divi for dinner, yes.

As far as the rest of the itinerary, I'm exhausted just looking at it, but then, I'm probably older than you. Enjoy your trip!
