The list of best beach bars in the Caribbean that I saw online yesterday listed the beach bar at La Samanna and of course Sunset Bar and Grill, Maho!
Paradise is an island in the Caribbean!

Even though Willie has left the island, the frozen drinks at the Perch are still great. BBC's, Pina Coladas, etc.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

Cincinnati I never felt I had the 💵 to drink at La Samana. Sunset Beach Bar for sure is thrilling but always felt the drinks were not made with ❤️ there. Glad SXM made the list. I think first time visitors do love Sunset Beach Bar.
Can you believe it I have never had a pina colada ever. Had pina colada ice cream recently at a friend's home and it was delish. So will definitely try the one at Perch in November. Thanks Biturbo.
Only ate at Bikini never did drinks used to always feel when on Orient Bay head to Perch as felt drinks taste better sans clothing also I really did find Willie was fantastic. I wish her well wherever she is.

Yes Dreams was pretty awesome but I know from you all now it's gone. Only thing the water was never good for swimming at least when I was there. Place definitely had a unique classy vibe. I am normally never one for champagne but whenever I would set foot there found myself calling for just that. 😀
Is there anything in its place now?

Tammy,
No more Dreams and nothing in its place, at least not as of April past.
Try Anse Marcel. I think you’ll like it and the beach is much nicer as well as the water is easily accessible and swimmable. I don’t think the beach furnishings are as chic as what Dreams offered but they’re still very nice with thickly padded chaise lounges, but sadly, you do have to pay for them, even with drinks and or meals. We usually run a tab all day and then charge in Euros depending on the exchange rate. Our cc does NOT charge a conversion fee and their exchange rate has been better than that of the restaurant when we’ve asked.
Respectfully,
pat

Hi Pat Looks like a great Beach Bar. I just looked at the website. And it looks divine. Would make for a great day. Beach looks great for 'swimmers' like myself. I think we tried to go years ago but chickened out going uphill. At the time had no idea what was on the other side, will definitely try it next time.
Biturbo Happy Hour at the Perch wish I was there now.
Since Irma, life also happened, my dad and in laws ill. Have been living vicariously thru you all. Looking forward to November.

Speaking of which, they were working on one of those beach bars when we were there in June. Are they open yet? Chez Leandra, maybe??

There is a concrete building not finished in the area of Leandras (hard to tell exactly with nothing else there). There's rebar sticking out of the ground everywhere and a big hole with concrete block inside down where the toilets were before KonTiki. Parking lot is shaping up behind the fence.

Dear all, If standing on Boulevard de Grand Case with the nose towards the sea, there used to be a local restaurant on the (after Irma) empty plot left to Captain Frenchy’s. The owner, very nice with eyes squinted, made the most fantastic Planteur served in beautiful layers (ananas, orange, goyave, rhum vieux et blanc, cannelle, vanille, citron, muscade). If Hemingway had been into drinking Le Planteur, I’m sure he had loved that “original” feeling. Anybody who knows if the owner and family have opened a Creole restaurant anywhere else? Kindly, Lars

Dany's Rum Punch is pretty tough to beat, not high end with a nice glass but one in hand and that setting and view is about as good as life gets. Certainly miss Dreams, and another place I miss and while not on a beach was White Flag. Fantastic setting and 9oz Martini's. The "I Surrender" was the best coffee style martini I have ever had. Cheers!
I prefer the Isle seat

Tropical Wave at Le Galion used to be nice too. Good service, good burgers; something about a good burger, cold beer and your toes in the sand.
I heard they are no more. Is anything new in its place?

That's a pity. Used to avoid going on weekend because of the crowd. That area must be pretty desolate on weekdays now
