No not good at all, so how about the other hotels on the French side? Makes me wonder, and makes me plan for a plan B just in case. So far Le Petite has stated that they will be ready for us, and I would add that they have been fantastic to deal with and quick with responses to any concerns over all the potential border issues. There in two weeks, we hope.
I prefer the Isle seat

First after Irma and now through COVID 19. Can’t France find any means by which to help as opposed to hinder St. Martin? Her people are dying a financial death and deserve so much more.

We have never stayed at LaSamana. In fact, the closest we ever got to enjoying time there was a Sunday morning light brunch there in the early 70’s. When we were all done, two orders of coffee, juice and pastries set us back over forty dollars. Thank God we didn’t order full breakfasts......
Again, this was in the early 70s and that was a lot of money to two twenty-something kids. Never really felt the urge to go back after that but I will say, it was absolutely gorgeous there and brunch was beautifully served but just way too much money at the time for our rather thin wallets.

We were young and foolish back in the day. Today we’re just........ never mind.
We are also the couple who decided it was a great idea to take the ferry from SXM to AXA and then a cab to catch the boat to take us out to Scilly Caye at the suggestion of my former boss. Obviously as the ‘boss’ he earned a lot more than I did. He was correct in that the lobsters were incredible but by the time we got done it was probably the most expensive lunch we ever had in the Caribbean. The last time we went to Scilly we were staying on AXA and it was a lot less costly without all the extra fees involved. But it was still yummy. I wonder if Scilly survived the last few storms.

Todd--I understood that technically no hotel on the French side is allowed to accept US visitors. They were supposed to, as of November 1, but I think the situation in France changed it. Now perhaps Le Petite is technically a B & B and not a hotel and perhaps they are allowed to accept US visitors?

Yeah, now I am wondering if we could have even stayed on the French side in January. It's all cancelled now, so a moot point for us I guess.
