We often read that the Belair Beach Hotel was judged as "dated" by some that stayed there. While there is some truth is that evaluation, I suppose "dated" could also mean solidly built and that has proven to be valuable when recovering from hurricanes over the years. Even Irma did not damage the basic structure. They are still working to restore all apartments but were able to rebound faster than most. As to the timeshare discussion, this method of vacationing was very popular for a period of time but has diminished with storms and management corruption. It was never a valid "investment" but an alternative that has worked for some, others not so much. I think we are now at the point where conventional rental and timeshare annual maintenance in SXM are close to equal.
