Just returned yesterday from Punta Cana. We were at an adult only all inclusive. ( Royalton Chic Punta Cana) You can’t beat the price? We travel the Caribbean often. The DR is booming. We paid nearly 1/2 of what we spent in Cancun last year. People are friendly and they love the tourism boom. Go save your $$

Lovely report Eva. Thanks for posting. Never got to the Bahamas during my time in the Caribbean. Always intended to go but just never happened.

Rosemary--thanks, although it was so long ago, I don't remember it! LOL! It comes with getting old!!

So far I still think the fries at O'Plongier in Marigot are the best I've had on SXM

oh no. we swim back and forth to red hook.
when we want to take a ferry we just do that from Charlotte Amalie to Cruz Bay.

st john beach day is well worth the trouble to get on a ferry. we just have remember to buy our return ferry ticket in the morning in case it gets sold out.

Therrs a newish Sandals? At he Georgetown end of Grand Anse, before the cemetery....ohhhh the infinity pool looks top notch from the main road...it opens all the way, splitting the two sides of the hotel. One day i will book it.

I stayed at BBC beach. The Kalinago??? Resort was nasic at the time, food was great, and the small beach quiet.

Its been a while but grand anse beach is my recommendation.

This Lobster Trap menu is no longer valid. Can the person who posted it please take it down?

Hi all,

I am not sure if its the same company, but a few sails ago, we rented a car near Portsmouth. The brakes nearly caused me to leave my dna on a mountainside. We had to wait at said bend for new vehicle for hours south of Portsmouth.

The next vehicle had better brakes, but the tires were equally bald.

We should have inspected the brakes b4 hitting the road, not on the road. Lesson learned and renter beware.

PS i hope you enjoy your time in Dominica, Zanshin. Are you attempting Boiling Lake? My first stay was in Laudat a decade ago. Dominica is magical.

Prefers FB? Let 'em be.

Hi,

I stayed at West Bay airbnb which was very convenient to 7mb, caymana bay and georgetown.

We stayed at La Cabana on Eagle Beach and loved it (this was in 2019). Yes, there is more going on in the Palm Beach area, but it is not a bad drive from Eagle Beach to Palm Beach for dinner, etc... I think Eagle Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches I have seen. We rented a car and explored the entire island. Went to Palm Beach for dinner several times. One our favorite memories is dinner/dancing at Bugaloe Beach Bar and Grill. I would absolutely go back to Aruba. Was in SXM last year, going to Caymans next year. I do keep up to date with SXM on this forum. We LOVE SXM!!!
