A friend just asked me for any info I might have about the Princess Heights Condos and sadly, I know nothing on a personal level. If anyone has stayed and has firsthand information - both pros and cons - I'd appreciate your sharing. Thank you in advance.
Respectfully,

While we've never STAYED there, we have toured a couple of the units. They are extremely nice, and the ones that we looked at had lovely views out toward Dawn Beach. The property itself appears to be very well managed and and maintained and consistently gets great reviews. For ME, the location is too remote for me and while I suppose you COULD walk to the beach from there, it would be a fairly difficult walk back. One major "ding" against the property MAY no longer be applicable, but something to be checked out--one of the buildings used to not have an elevator, and the building was approximately 5 stories tall. I honestly don't know whether that is still the case. IF the unit they are looking at is in that building and there is still no elevator, I personally would not be interested in it at all.

Thank you, Carol. Hoping someone here has actually stayed there and will share their experiences, too.

I think someone here either owns a unit there or stays there a lot, so hopefully they will respond.

Kish, a member here, stays there on every visit to SXM and has for several years. Hopefully she will see this post and offer her comments. We have visited her at her condo and it is very nice. She is in the new building with the elevator and parking is close by. Unfortunately the other building does not have an elevator. However, if you book a condo on the first floor, it is at the parking lot level and a very easy walk to your condo.

Thank you all so very much for your help.
I knew there was someone who either regularly stayed (Kish) or owned (SXMMD and Lotsan and Pav). The comments all sound very promising and I'm sure our young friends will be pleased.
Will pass your info on and if they have any additional questions I will reach out privately with them.
Again, my most sincere thanks to all who responded.
Respectfully,
pat

I wondered if that had changed, as far as the stairs. I have bad knees, so trudging up and down even one flight of stairs would not be something I would want to deal with. So I guess Pat's friends just need to see which building and floor they are looking at!

While I'm sure an elevator would be a plus for most of us, our friends are young, healthy and very active - golfers, hikers and runners to mention just a couple of their activities - so an elevator, or lack thereof, probably wouldn't be a major deterrent to either of them. It sure would be to me, and particularly if I found myself on the fifth floor..... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

I know! If I didn't love them both so much I could really learn not to like them very much at all.
