I would be surprised if they are actually open by then, as there doesn't seem to be a lot going on, according to reports. But we'll see.. Maybe they can make a go of it, as that property sure has gone through a bunch of different names..

Not sure why but I have a mental block where this particular property is concerned. I remember L’Habitation at the top of the hill and I remember the names RIU and Radisson but would someone please remind me AGAIN what it was called before these names? I remember so vividly walking through the open air atrium there and thinking how very beautiful it was while at the same time, thinking how much I would not have wanted to be in such a totally remote area, as beautiful as it was.

In French, le and la are both used for “the” and represent the masculine and feminine variants that French uses. French makes a distinction between "masculine and feminine objects", people use le for masculine things/persons and la for feminine things/persons

That's right. I remember it being Le Meridian back around 1999?

French makes a distinction between "masculine and feminine objects", people use le for masculine things/persons and la for feminine things/persons I remember the Le and La and that they are the equivalent of the English word ‘the’ but it’s distinguishing which proper noun is which that causes me the problems. I can’t think in terms of a door being feminine but a dog being masculine. And besides which, it’s been waaaay too many years since I aced my NY high school French III regents exam. 😄😄

It looks beautiful, but I remember just a couple of years ago, my neighbors's son stayed there, on their honeymoon, and didn't see much of SXM at all. (No wise remarks--lol) A beautiful location, but not a convenient one. With my sand gravity, it might not matter for me!! lol Nice for a few days. Those languages all have gender and quantity......If you make yourself understood that is all that counts. I'm having a hard time remembering English! LOL
