Looks great/seamless, can't wait to try it out in December!

I will be sad missing all the posts complaining about the airport though! 🤣

Try a different browser, it's there for the world to see. Don't forget, open your eyes.

The only reason I didn't post the direct link is that so many complain about not having or using facebook.

Imagine that, I guess the testing did not work out so well. If it is not working better tomorrow, it will be a disaster for those arriving.

Between this and GEBE are you still confident and supportive in the island infrastructures run by government?

Good question.

Where is Brian Mingo in this mess?

You know what , I'm fully tired of people just choosing to use the high horse to keep bashing St. Maarten , Mr. Mingo , contract is up soon , December , but he and his Mom and Brother Mark , have tons of property on the both side of the Island and are set for life , period.
And you know what , thanks for my Dear Loving Wife Shirley , we dont have to worry period.
And what's is sad for this Island , that the average St.Maarten person , is broke simply because , they dont have an open mind to move themselves upward , but in the meantime, I have know people came to this Island via boats(broke() and planes totally rich and keep making millions of dollars .
Tired , but we and two children and Grandson Baby Zion will have a great life and not in America . Sa la vie . Keep bashing .

Lesley--since there have been allegations of graft regarding both of the Mingo brothers and many others in government, I am not surprised that they are set for life. And yes, the average person in SXM is not set for life, and they are the ones who suffer through the woes especially of GEBE. Bashing is done where it is warranted, and it is fully warranted with regard to both the airport and GEBE. I hope today goes well at the airport, and that, at some point, GEBE's woes are solved. We shall see, with regard to both things.

Seriously, Lesley, I can't think that your rather self-serving comments -not the first - are doing anything to to endear you to tourists or locals. Be grateful for what you have achieved but stop throwing it in the faces of people who have helped you to get there.

Thanks for your response my Dear . For the record , we started Kenny's Car Rental 1995 , right after Hurricane Luis , and prior to that I worked and managed Holiday Car Rental at Mullet Bay way back , handling 400 cars , going to the Port to pick them up and taking them to the late Mr. Bunchie 's garage the work place that he had and getting them undercoating from rust and then hitting the streets for rentals . Hence I'm from way back , when , dealing with Tourist tipping average $ 50.00 for the genuine service that they had received . Long time and today , I'm 66 , and still going strong even though receiving my Pension , and not sleeping . God is love . And as much , a lot of people are pissed to Mr. Husang Ansary , he give me a full Scholarship to Johnson and Wales University for Hotel and Restaurant Hospitality . Suma Cum Lauda .

I am very surprised that people still rent from you with your attitude. I for one has been to the island for at least 15 years for 2 weeks each year and always rented a car. While I haven’t rented from you I am very glad I didn’t. Since you are so well off I hope other people will support other rental companies not as well off. I am proud to be American.

I'd walk if Lesley was my only choice of rental car.

Mercy. Not addressed to anyone in particular, but this one has gone way too far astray. If anyone arrived yesterday, would appreciate hearing your experience in a new thread.
