My wife and I hiked down there one day after a great lunch at Le Sand (ya, skipped Bruno for a day - rare!)
Tough beach walk....seaweed and mounds of garbage. It is criminal what gets thrown in the ocean.
Walked all around, went for a skinny at the beautiful little beach. Only then did we see two "residents". They were not friendly, so we beat it out of there.
I forget the story of this place, but it is a crying shame. One of the most beautiful pieces of property in SXM, and it lies there in ruins, after all these years.
Let's buy it!
cheers

Wow! You found some places that I didn’t see Kim and I went thoroughly through the main buildings and some out-buildings! We saw A LOT. Those pictures aren't of employees, lol...they are drug lords. The kitchen was dark and creepy AF! But we had each other to be brave. But yeah, we didn't lift that sheet!!!!

Such a waste.. Maybe some day someone will be able to develop that area profitably.

A local elder with knowledge about Happy Bay informed me about the Happy Bay buildings. Happy Bay resort was built in 1985/87.. The main building housing the reception had a restaurant was never completed. The company belonged to a guy called Ledoré. He got a loan from a bank, then he never paid it back, so the bank (BRED) seized the property. He died a few years ago, his wife and son took over but did not give one cent to the bank. Up to this day the BRED bank is the owner. The resort was never completed or opened. For a few years gendarmes lived in the villas. Interesting, thanks.
