The Villas were not refurbished..they are relatively new..
Great area with lots within walking distance. Read the threads on this forum and you will get loads of info.
We stay at SBR every January...

Is this your first time to SXM?
As far as the Villas, relatively new there, all nice units except that I hope that you don't have a studio. The studios have only a dorm sized fridge, which is hard to keep enough drinks in to keep one appropriately hydrated. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" /> The balcony is pretty small also. Since you're in October, if you're in a studio, you might check to see how much more it would be to upgrade, if you rented from the resort, as I figure they will not be full then. The area has lots of great restaurants, there is also the casino at the resort, and Red Piano, which has great music in the evenings. Enjoy your stay!

sail2wind said: nothing is above Bon Appetite except the tennis courts, Leagle49, you got it right, in front of the sales office. Bon Appetite is very good. Yes they are. You have to go up the side stairs and Alexanders are directly above in the same building.

Great! Glad you will have a 1 BR, as they are much better than the studio. Please do read a bunch of posts here and post any other questions you might have.

I don't doubt there will be some disruptions, but should not be major. I would think by October, the heavy construction (gut job) should be over. We were @ SBR in early October while they finished the Beaumontia building, and aside from the hurricane, construction was relatively quiet, as they were painting and putting in furniture. The Marina building is a bigger project, but even so, they only work from 7a-3p.

I like La Bamba. I think it is a fun place, and would miss it! But then, we are "up the hill" and are not bothered by any noise. (Score one for the B-building! )

This island is famous for its food. Here are web page of restaurants: http://www.sxm-restaurants.com/ . The web page includes a map that will show you the restaurants near the Simpson Bay resort. Our favorite restaurants in the Simpson Bay area are Pineapple Pete’s, SkipJacks and the Yacht Club. There are numerous restaurants in the Simpson Bay area like the Stone, Hideaway, Greenhouse, and Lee’s that are also good. For lunch, the Buccaneer Beach Bar (BBB), right below the Simpson Bay resort, probably has the best burger at the best prices. They also have nightly specials and good ribs. There is a good bakery in Simpson Bay, Zee Best, for breakfast and lunch. We go to Zee Best for breakfast. Enjoy your trip.
