We have had a great time this week , returning after 6 years
Stayed at Marys Boon which was fun. Not sure all would like the plane noise at 7 am
Went to see Church On Monday band at Red Piano. They were fantastic. Quite a lively crowd . Parking lot being redone so parked at Casino
Lunch at Friars Bay. Water was beautiful. Service slow cause they had a group . And , different from years ago , had to pay for beach chairs even if We had lunch there. Same at Belair but couldn’t remember if they charged last time .
Dinner and music at karakters was so good and convenient too as we could walk to it . Had been to their newer place in Curaçao too
Took the lovely scenic drive to Anse Marcel .
Also went to Grand Case Beach Club and looked out on impressive Creole Rock
One new adventure was the chairlift at Rainforest Adventures. Definitely worth it for the great views across the island and across to St Barts
Dinner at Izi was delicious so thanks for that recommendation
To us the biggest change was the increased car traffic but guess that’s everywhere
We enjoyed our stay , fit a lot of enjoyment in ,and hope to return soon. Like the idea of a few days on Anguilla too.

Hi. Thanks for the report. Perhaps you are already home, but if not, safe travels.

I was searching "live music" and see Karakters still has music, wonder if still do Jazz on Friday nights? Wonder is there a listing somewhere with venues/type of music/band/solo, etc.?

Didn't think the big planes came in that early in the morning.

Whew! for a moment I thought I must be in deep sleep because I never heard large planes. But Leslie you answered that. Those planes are as quiet as mosquitoes. But some nights I've heard the bass beat of music.

have never been woken up by large airplanes from either Mary's Boon or Royal Islander LaPlage. Don't think the big planes come in before like 11AM.

You do all realize that you are commented on a post that is 9 months old?

It reminds me of Hollywood, rehashing old content but with lesser quality and content.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

If it is over a few months old, there is a good chance the information could have changed and be significantly different.

Sorry, not directly replying to anyone, but this is crazy. Closing this one down.
