havn't been to sxm for 18 years, would like to go again, I've been to Orient beach at several of the hotels along there, stayed at papayagoes sp, le Host, and a few other places, went there 4 times, always got 2 hotels per trip, I'm a little far removed from my experiences, but would like to stay on the french side along Orient Beach, take a trip to tintamare,sp, and Green Key, did do the random wind once, went to st Barts, Anquilla, cupacoy,sp, for day trips, I don't know, are these choices still out there? what do you regulars recommend, been so long I can't even spell these places anymore, thank you,

Your questions seem to be a bit out of context considering everything going on. When are you thinking of going? In case you haven't heard, there is a world-wide Pandemic going on called COVID-19. There are travel restrictions and requirements on all islands in the Caribbean including SXM. There are a lot of places that are not even open. Maybe you should read some of the other posts, just a suggestion.

The island is open, but you have to jump through a few hoops to get there. Many places are closed, but there are plenty that are open and could use your business if you are lucky to get there. I can’t speak for the French side but there are plenty of threads here that can give you updates on what is available. Quite a few of the things you mentioned are still around and available, so I would think that you could plan a trip that seems familiar to you.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

I believe the former La Hoste is now La Playa. It changed a .couple of years ago and is now owned by Bruno who was the owner of Dreams until the hurricane demolished it. He also has a beach bar and restaurant adjacent to the resort.
