Although I thought it would be years before we ever came back to SXM, it looks like we'll be headed back there, summer of '16 for our 5th trip in 8 years. Can't escape, not sure if we ever will.

So, as I skim along through years of posts, can anyone out there flex a little island knowledge and catch us up on whats new (positively) in the last two years? New attractions, major developments, weird things etc? (We'll be staying in Cupecoy, we're very familiar with the western half.)

Also, could anyone say if there's a markable difference between staying in June in comparison to August? Ocean? Crowds? Events? Beaches?

Thanks anyone for any knowledge you can drop. Glad to be back!
