As has been reported here, Dreams will not rebuild. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> And apparently Skipjacks will not either...

I personally don't know anything about Skipjacks. That is just what I have heard.

That building, which was once The Wharf and most recently The Harbor, is totally gone. Not a stick left.

Some of those decisions have been reached but some have not. Many are still dealing with insurance adjusters and insurance companies. In Grand Case, they have a lot of government red tape too. Some restaurateurs have quietly put their places up for sale, for the right price.

According to their Facebook Site. Bon Apetit on Billy Folly Road will not rebuild. I suspect Alexander's Kitchen above Bon Apetit will close as well. According to the BA FB page, Simpson Bay Resort is demolishing the building.

A lot will also depend on if the place had insurance, adequate insurance or if they are going the route of some and seeking donations in place of having any insurance at all. And, as Jeff Berger stated, there could be some governmental regulations (if enforced and/or followed) that may come into play also.

There had been mention of the possibility of several of the Maho area restaurants moving into the Simpson Bay area.

Give all the people a little time, most will come back, if not will be replaced by others! Have faith in Sint Maarten, Luis happened and it was built back better, will be the same with Irma!
