This one at least seemed to have less CLOSED businesses in it. The only one I saw offhand that was closed was LaBamba..

It is the Dutch side newspaper, but I do agree that the French side is always under-represented. There are a couple of French side establishments in there, I think. I thought the French restaurants were particularly odd, since I don't really consider Mario's or Sol e Luna to be classical French, but what do I know?

For once, I will agree with Scubaman on this. I think Lazy Lizard is closed, at least it was every time we passed it in Nov. Topper's sure got a lot of mention.

Lazy Lizard doesn’t seem to be closed based on their Facebook activity. I passed it multiple times in Nov. and it was never open. Perhaps they are only open on busy cruise ship days?

Yet, Big Wood was open even when ships were not it. I was in town 3 times and only one of the days did not have ships and the Lazy Lizard was closed every time.

I don't put a lot of credence in this poll for various reasons and take the results with a grain of island sand. Exactly!!!

We got a very good settlement with Nagico and helped one of our good home owner that doesn't live here with there settlement. NAGICO completely screwed me. There was a fire above me and caused some damage.they settled instantly. Months later as the water settled in the walls etc my kitchen buckled and snapped My granite counter. They came out and said nope must be from something else!!! We gave up the fight. We were also insured by theM as was the guy above and the property!!!

Hysterical. The best list is pretty much a paid for gimmick to get more advertisement for the paper. Look how many paid for ads will appear from the “winners” for being the “best”. Just as hysterical are some of these sxm forms that the Amin’s recommends as the best food, rooms , bars etc when it’s really just pay to play. Don’t you think the sites or sxm forms should disclose that they are recommending their PAID advertisers? It’s not always from the heart but from the wallet! Unless you get a recommendation from a friend , family , etc don’t necessarily believe it. To much pay to play.

There are many winners who I have never seen a paid advertisement in the paper. Yvette's doesn't advertise at all but has won 6 times.

That's interesting, I just noticed they apparently don't even have a category for car rentals. I guess that's because this is mostly a locals poll and most locals don't rent cars.

IMHO!! This is no more than a popularity contest. Some of these places aren't even in business!!! Some of the winners made my head spin!! I don't have the answer, but there needs to be a better system of voting!
Sand Gravity, got to love it!
