I agree Carol. I've been staying at BSV since 1996, at least twice a year. NEVER been woken up by the planes. I respect that BSV is not for everyone. I've met several that really don't like the planes so close. Under my breath and in the back of my mind I think and say, "good, less people to compete with for reservations". <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> Funny story, I live in the vicinity of an airport in CT. My neighbors across the street, very anti airport in our community. They joined our group last year in SXM and BSV for the 1st time. They were constantly at the view stand watching the planes or snapping pictures of planes from the pool. They thought it was awesome. They're coming again this year, 3 weeks from today <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />, had to throw that in there. To ME, there's no better place on the island to stay than BSV. Over the years, the Mascarin family and the entire staff there have become like family. You have the best beach on the island, a pool at your convenience and great accommodations. Let's keep it the best hidden secret on the island <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
