bspicer--You might check out Flamingo and Royal Palm for a possible visit NEXT year, but there is no guarantee when they will reopen and timeshare owners will be clamoring to book there when they do. There are a lot of great places in Simpson Bay or that general area. Most of the timeshares don't have the best beaches, if the beach is a really big attraction. You can look at La Vista and La Vista Beach, which is a smaller resort, family run, with two pools. LVB is right on the ocean, although there's not a great beach there. Mary's Boon is a lovely old time Caribbean hotel, on a fabulous beach, with a small pool. To ME, my favorite place on the Dutch side is Beachside Villas. GREAT, uncrowded beach, which is my personal number 1 criteria. It's a small resort, only 14 units, so not like a huge timeshare place, but feels more like the Caribbean to me.

Happy hunting!!
