Grand Case Christmas Boat Parade
Alltech63
Yesterday at 10:45 PM
So we can see boats coming in and lining up over by the dock by the Lolo's
Hopefully my pictures will be decent but at night and hold phone camera still will be a challenge plus the lights from hotel on beach are bright but here is the look before parade starts which we can see them lining up now

The Final in-between
Alltech63
Yesterday at 05:37 PM
So we decided to have lunch at Rancho Del Sol that over looks Orient Bay.
Great service and views and the food was pretty tasty.
I had the smoked and grilled pork belly burger and the wife had a poke bowl.
Next stop the U-Save and then Bleu Emeraude

Final Thoughts on L'Esplanade
Alltech63
Yesterday at 11:45 AM
It has been a wonderful stay and I highly recommend staying here. The room was very clean and modern great views and a nice breeze on the balcony. We were also provided an assortment of room beverages (coffee, soda and water with a few snacks)
The staff were top notch and very friendly and ready to help with any needs you might have. A nice touch for me was the laundry service you got a full clothes basket washed and folded for 20 USD.
The continental breakfast was spot on and self serve.
My favorite place was the pool and the service there was outstanding. The Spa was also very good and my wife enjoyed the Yoga class.
The only downside if you can call it a downside is you can hear people talking on the balcony at least my wife said the entire hotel could hear me 
I think there are 24 rooms and it never seemed crowded but you did see people unlike Karibuni with only 6 rooms.
There is a shuttle service provide for Grand Case for those who do not like to walk you need to reserve it.
It was just under a 1/2 mile walking to L'Auberge and we did see security at night in-between hotel and town.
Today we move to our final stop on what so far has been a very relaxing and wonderful vacation the variety has been nice.
So Bleu Emeraude here we come a Xmas boat parade is tonight so we will have an ocean front view to watch it from.
Oh I forgot to mention my wife wishes to come back this summer for a milestone Birthday so will will do 5 days at Karibuni and 7 at L'Esplanade as they have a 7 days for the cost of 5 special in the summer.
Next year will be the 1st time we will not be in SXM for Christmas so the summer trip is a concession to that fact.

Pool Grill at L'Esplanade
Alltech63
12/19/2025 05:05 PM
Has really exceeded my expectations. Today I decided to try the sirloin sandwich since tonight we have dinner reservations at L'Auberge Gourmande and I will most likely dabble and go outside of comfort zone
All I can say about today's sandwich is I am glad I didn't lose a finger while devouring it.

Car rental at the Port
MXS
12/18/2025 08:16 PM
Our cruise ship will make a stop at SXM on February 3 and we need to rent a car for the day. Can you recommend a company that will not require us to walk a long way or get into a van that will take us to our car way off-site? I have mobility issues. I wish Leslie rented autos at the port!
