I don't know that you can really know what the situation will be this year because of so many places, especially on the French side, that have not yet reopened after Irma. As of now, there are about 5 restaurants open in all of Grand Case. Historically, September was VERY quiet on the French side but the Dutch side, pretty much everything stayed open. I suspect pretty much everything will remain open this year on the Dutch side, but tourists are way down in general. Honestly, the island needs tourists now and IF you manage your expectations, pretty much everyone who has gone this year has had a wonderful trip. Your mileage may vary.

We used to go to SXM all the time in September or October and absolutely loved it. Now, I would definitely buy trip insurance, but I would definitely still go that time of year. I'm actually hoping to go in early October next year..

Thanks. It's my fault for highjacking the thread, not yours.

My wife and I missed our annual trip this year due to Irma. We are considering one late in the summer or early fall. We don't want it to be deserted with lots of restaurant closed.
Does anyone know about when things start getting slow with scarce visitors?
Any input appreciated. Actually July and August are popular vacation trips for school teachers and summer holidays. IMHO September 3 to 10 would be a nervous time on the island this year.
