As a comment, we have been traveling to SXM since 1984 spending initially one week at our timeshare, building up to our current two week stay. Have eaten all over the island including lolos and have drunk the water. No problems. However did contact the Noro virus twice while living in Illinois. Appears that it was "going around in the schools" and even though we have no children, contact with parents of sick kids was enough for me personally to endure the "three days of hell". My Wife thankfully never contracted this bug, although she also worked full time in the business world also. That being said one notices the frequency of outbreaks of this virus on the mega-cruise ships. Given the turn-around time in port, it is no wonder that on these 5000+ passenger and crew behemoths - a sanitary cleansing of all public and private areas is difficult, if not impossible, in the brief time between sailings. Large hotel complexes also seem to have the same problem. Solutions ?????
