Just returned from my first stay. Enjoyed every minute of relaxing on the beautiful beach, with cooling breezes and refreshing surf by day, good food, service, and companions at Papagayos at night. The accommodations were comfortable and well kept, and the on site "boutique" was stocked with quality meats, cheeses, and other foods, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, clothing, artwork, and toiletries. Every type of accommodation has a kitchen (no microwave), and barbeques are available as well.<br><br>Quite honestly, we didn't spend much time outside the resort, so I don't feel qualified to comment on the rest of SXM. Other posts, on the SXM forum, will be able to address that.<br><br>We were very happy with the whole experience, and are already planning our next trip back! <br><br>
