Has anyone here been there? I am surprised that there is almost no talk about it here.

Nope. What's the point of a beach if you can't go in the water? Or a bar that does not allow some of your friends.

Carol,
The few people I know who have actually been there indicate it's nice if you're looking for a high end place to eat, drink see and be seen, and don't want to go into the water and swim as part of your experience. To me, if I'm gonna' spend some serious $$ for a beach experience, I really want to be able to go into the water and this is the ONE beach on the island I've always been warned away from as far as a swimming beach goes.. It's supposed to be on the expensive side but everyone has a different idea of what's expensive.
I know Lesley and Shirley have been there so perhaps they'll chime in.
Elaine,
Are you able to elaborate on the last part of your post? I hope it's not the implication I'm reading into it.

Pat, Lesley and Elaine--I really don't care that you can't (or shouldn't, anyway) go into the water there. Just looking for an upscale experience, which I will pay for, if the experience is good. Is there LOUD music there during the day? I can't stand loud music.

Recent reports elsewhere of loud thumping music up to 4:00am on weekends. Not sure if it is from this establishment or one of the smaller places that were supposed to be curtailing the loud music.

It does have music but not load and very much in control. Carol you will love the place . Loud music at times is from Buccaneer Beach Bar. This place was bought and built by a Texan Millionaire . His Son is there at times.

OK, thanks. Loud music from Buccanneer?? That's odd. During the day, or at night?

Buccaneer beach bar has music a couple of nights a week from 6 to 8. And it's not loud at all. Now Captains, Snoopys etc are a different story.

Elaine--thanks, re Buccanneer. I thought that the government said they were going to shut down the loud music in that area at night, but I guess they mis-spoke??

Their music schedule has been like this for years and years. A minister lives up the road. They used to be able to play till 9, but probably 5 years ago they pushed it back to 8. Personally, the early schedule was one of the many reasons we had our date night there every week until Irma. Yes, government has said many things that are not true.

I agree, I've never had a problem with music late at night at BBB, and 8 to 9 o'clock is not late..

Or a bar that does not allow some of your friends. Elaine - Are you comfortable explaining what you mean by this statement? Inquiring minds . . . .

It seems some people are not welcome. Not sure what the criteria is or who makes the decision but people, including friends, have not been allowed entrance.

OK, thanks. Loud music from Buccanneer?? That's odd. During the day, or at night? That was my point, Carol, that the music wasn't loud, but that they were required to stop playing early. I thought it was 9 PM, but Elaine says it's 8.

OK, I guess I'd better go and have a drink to check it out, before I plan on eating a meal there. I don't care for 'techno' music either.

Elaine, are people turned away at the door because they are dressed inappropriately or for other reasons? If denied access to a business, they must be told the reason. Sometimes if patrons are denied access it is because they have had too much to drink. Sorry to hear they are doing this without explanation.

As I said, I don't know their criteria. My friends were not drunk.

Elizabeth--actually, not. Especially in SXM, any business can deny service to anyone they want. And they don't have to give a reason or even HAVE a reason. I know nothing about this particular situation, but it's not in their best financial interest to deny someone service, so I figure they had a good reason for doing so.

Yeah, I probably will go check it out and have a drink, but that music isn't appealing to me either.
