I know of 3 couples that have gone once and not gone back to SXM. One couple it was way too busy of an island and lack of green space that said no more. One other couple went in September to heavy rain all week and said no thanks, no more. The third couple never hardly left the resort, not adventurous enough I guess, they like their cabin vacations much more. It's not for everyone, thankfully. Airfares seem to be up as many people are posting lately, airline mergers are my thinking that they can make more money on these Caribbean island flights.
