Curious about a villa in Terres Basses but seeing as how the damage was heavy in Nettle Bay I'm guessing Dreams, Le Sand, Cigale etc are all gone. The villa is Maison De Reve. Gus's beach bar surely is gone from Baie Rouge I would think. Also is Anse Marcel catamarans gone also?

Hi Carol, VillaBelleMer, Orient Bay. I'd like to add that Randy and Dany Acree report that Louvie, their housekeeper is safe and at least she (possibly others) are living at their VillaBelleMer as her home was destroyed. No real news as to the Villa's condition, but apparently it's livable at least! That's saying a lot considering it's right next to Esmeralda which was badly affected. Will let you know more when I know more.

Hello everyone, New here, but have been traveling to Sea Palace for several years now. Thank you to everyone for all of the information. Not sure if anyone has posted this yet (I've been at work and offline the last few days) but here is the damage from Calmos Cafe https://www.facebook.com/calmos.desaintmartin/Also, this was the message from Defender Resorts, the owner of Sea Palace (as of less than a half hour ago)on FB: We have heard from the Sea Palace staff and all staff members and any guests that were onsite during the hurricane are ok! Many are staying at the resort as it is one of the few structures still standing in the area. While Sea Palace has undergone extensive damages, it appears the resort faired better than many other buildings in Sint Maarten. Doors, windows and water intrusion are the main damages that we are initially aware of at the resort. Sint Maarten and Sea Palace are not in the clear though. The island is experiencing power outages, limited communications abilities and shortages of water and food. We will continue to post any updates and information as we receive them. Initial reportings are estimating that it will be approximately 6-7 months before Sea Palace will be able to accommodate guests again. Also, for anyone who knows them, Bruce Chilson (owner of Bluebeard charters), and Patrick Cuicci (owner of Pat's Roadhouse) are both safe.

OB,
The following is what I've read or been told and hopefully, my post here is factual.
By the standards of too many island commercial properties, the Towers is in decent condition. The building structure itself and the vast majority of staff are okay although some staff members did lose their homes. During the actual storm, I was told by a staff member that many of the staff sheltered on site but at last count, there were a few who had not been able to check in.
The roof did sustain some major damage, moreso this time than in Luis, therefore, there has been water damage to some of the upper floor units. All communication options are down and electric and water as well. Not sure of the status if the generator but fuel is probably an issue there if it is otherwise operational.
There is a Towers at Mullet Bay website and the're posting there as they are able.
Respectfully,
pat

Dick,
That has been my thought since the begining. I think we need to give them a few days to get their 'stuff' together. We all have to remember they too may have lost homes and they don't have the resources we have here.
Right now we all need to give them some time and exercise some patience. We have two trips all bought and paid for but doubt we'll end up doing either one. May end of sending my airfare, once refunded, to Samaritans Purse and hope it helps SXM relief down the road. Won't donate to just anyone at this time. Just a thought.......
Respectfully,
pat

Maybe it is here and I haven't seen it but is there any word on the condition of Spiga and Lara and her family?

Yes, Samaritan's Purse is a very trustworthy organization. I am very familiar with them and have supported them in many ways throughout the years. They take care of people around the world and making donations through them is a great idea.

No specific word that I know of, but it's somewhat harder to get info re French side properties.

Chloe, of Club Fantastico, reports that she and Thierry (and pets) are fine. The resort suffered moderate damage - the bar is gone, one unit (#2) plus the lounge area received extensive damage. Still no electric. The military is using Parc as a home base, and arrive daily with water and meals. They even had duck (French, you know).
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

The link is fine, not really any new info about SXM properties, but info there regarding other islands.
