It is my understanding that at this time travelers from the US are not welcome in French side hotels.

As Elaine said, I believe it's supposed to be that French side hotels (but not villas, which I guess they can't control somehow???) are not supposed to accept US guests. The newspaper article said that Secrets was in 'trouble', whatever than means, but didn't specifically say they couldn't open to US guests. If I had a reservation there for this weekend, I think I would be trying to make alternative arrangements for lodging, just in case. Do you have reservations there, letsparksfly?

I expect more accurate and timely information from a person than from a website, which is what you sought and found. Regardless, it would concern me that the website for AMResorts lists Secrets as having a December 11 reopening date. Their reservation system won’t accept a reservation for the period 11/14 - 11/21. It gives the following two statements: “ THE PROPERTY IS CLOSED FROM TUESDAY 09 JUN 2020 TO THURSDAY 10 DEC 2020” and “Secrets St. Martin is temporarily closed during the dates you requested due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our resort will reopen on December 11st. Please revise your dates and search again. We hope to see you soon!“ https://info.amresorts.com/coronavi...0282523.1605066172-1472782262.1605066172If you’re on FaceBook, look at the Prefet de Saint-Barthelemy et du Saint-Martin page for their recent post which didn’t approve of 120-hour tests. If it were me, I would think about a backup plan at a Dutch-side resort.
