First things first. Caravanserai was "alive and well" during our Jan 4-18 visit. Yeah, things can be improved on, but the "bones" are great albeit it would have been nice to have a working elevator. Rooms are clean and the housekeeping staff helpful and thorough. According to the "word on the street" the property, including timeshare buildings, Bliss, Taco Maco, Sunset Beach Bar, Casino, etc will go to auction on February 4, 2014. Furthermore, there appears to be an interested (serious) buyer. We'll see, but there is a positive vibe on property. Did *not* see Mr. Manek. Timeshare sales continue. The two unfinished buildings remain...unfinished.

Had a wonderful vacation. A few highlights included Boca Marina Restaurant (old Uncle Harry's) on Airport Road near the car rental locations. Awesome food and equally awesome service. Been going to island for over 25 years and had yet to take a sunset cruise. Did so this trip on the Passaat, out of Simpson Bay. Contact Miriam. Such great people and so accomodating. Beautiful schooner and such a smooth ride. Bravo! Okay, other great spots included Mr. Busby's, Karakters, Chesterfields, Gus's Beach Bar, Rosie's on Mullett Bay,Zee Best in Simpson Bay, Sunset Beach Bar and Tortuga Cafe in Maho area,Le Sand Beach Restaurant in Nettle Bay, Kokomo's, and last but not least...La Boulangerie (sp) in Nettle Bay before Sandy Ground for ABSOLUTLY incredible French pastries and coffee. Can't wait to get back....
