Club o is a big draw for us. Shall i dare to ask if Club O werent to continue as a "hotel" would the beach remain au naturelle? If it does, we would be back to SXM. We have beeen to SXM amnyntimes and 3 times in last 20 months and stayed on/ off club o with mostnof our day time spend under a yellow umbrella.

Trip 1 was new years at club o - awesome and we'd done that before
Trip 2 was at mt vernon and drove each day to club o - loved it
Trip 3 was at mt vernon and added 2 nights mid trip at club o

We love dinner at papagayos and the immediate ability to walk out of our unit...........but we loved our place at mt vernon and the getting in the car each late afternoon

So, i think we would go back if only the beach were operating hopefully with resturant and bar and we would definitely throw in stays if the lodging is rebuilt.

Ive kept thinking about some RV scheme for club O and when bad weather comes they roll them up the island to a concrete bunker and back down when storm passes.
