Todd, we definitely met you and MJ at the first party you hosted at Karakter. Not sure what year it was, and we seem to have this discussion every year on the island, lol. Maybe one day we'll figure it out grin

Edited to add that I found, in an old trip report of mine, mention of you and MJ hosting a party at Karakter in 2009.

Edited again! I found an old photo on Facebook, we met on November 28, 2008!! Finally the mystery is solved!

Apologies to other TTOLers who couldn't care less.

I remember when the government came with heavy equipment and tore down the wall. I don't think they finished the job and never came back so it still basically not legal. As far as what is going on there now the pure speculation is that Karkater DJ Thierry has come in as partner and money and the old district 721 has nothing to do with it. Lets hope the parking and loud noise does not become a problem in the neighborhood or it could get ugly. Stay tuned! Optimistic!

Major building/construction happening at Karakter's. Updates on their Facebook page implying changes are happening. I saw a Prevost bus on the island, maybe they are kicking up their kitchen and bar. Looks like maybe a huge new sound system is going in.


Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

Huge new sounds sytem is NOT good news. We could hear the boom, boom, boom, all the way down the beach at Beachside before.

Like a lot of tourist we stay in the Beacon Hill area and Simpson Bay often. We have spoken to owners at Coco Condos and management at Mary Boon and I can guarantee you the neighborhood will not tolerate any loud obnoxious music day and especially at night, if they do an real battle will begin. Another thing is that is that these new and former managers / owners are not known to do much with proper permits or gov permission first. Again this is other peoples opinion and speculation but the Gov will soon visit them to check for proper permits which they don't have and would never get so very possible the gov will stop what they are doing. Again local speculation. Seems a bit foolish to be spending that kind of money as again local information is a very prominent person as bought the property and building luxury condos there in May 2024. as they say time will tell.
