David--So, there was the same person who waited on you both times and she had a poor attitude? Gee, one person who has a bad attitude can happen in any restaurant..

Leona,
The Green Monkey is a right turn at the end of the driveway and up the hill past the Cliffs and Rainbow to the Ocean Club on the left. I think as a patron, rather than a guest at OC, you have to park across the road and walk in. There's no parking to speak of for visitors, or at least, not that we could find, but then, we all know I'm directionally challenged. We enjoyed breakfasts there a few times but often as not they don't open early when we're up, dressed and out and about and hungry.
Respectfully,
pat

The food wasn't particularly great either, though, so it was kind of a disappointment. But most places we've gone to for meals on this trip have been pretty awesome. Best is The Perch and The Green Monkey.

There's also free parking just before the gate where you enter Cupecoy Beach. Past the gate, it is 5 bucks and the gate closes at 5pm. But the free area before the gate is gree and is open to the street so it's easy to go in there and back out. Just a short walk, a few yards, to the retaurant. Just watch the cars !!!

OK, as far as great food at a beach bar, normally it's just good and satisfying, not great, but I get where you're coming from.

I look at it more as a safety rather than time issue. I am always waiting for someone to fall in front of a car or bus

Our timeshare is week 41, which is the second week of October, and the three times we've gone to SXM, we've NEVER seen a crowd or heavy traffic on the road right in front of the airport leading to Sunset. But on the last day of our trip, this time around, just this past Saturday, we decided we'd eat there before heading to the airport. Well, there was a huge amount of traffic and people, so we ate and drank at Driftwood bar, and had a great last meal on the island. (sidenote: We squeezed in an entire day over at Club O, since we didn't have to be at the airport until 4pm, and check out at LaPlage was at 10am. We checked out at 8:15am and headed right over to Club Orient, for the third time this trip! That place is one of the best places on Earth and we love, love, love the Perch !)

Um, we LOVE SSBG. Can't wait to see the renovations next month. The bartenders are great to us- even when drinking free...
But now I think about the good times, down in the Caribbean sunshine...

I swore I would never post on this forum again, BUT I CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY?????? Any of you would support and frequent SSBB when RAY SIDHOM and ALEGRIA will profit from it. Do your homework people and find out who is contributing to and will be profiting from the improvements.

Do your homework people and find out who is contributing to and will be profiting from the improvements. This is the first time I have ever heard any connection at all between Alegria and Sunset Beach Bar. Can't say I ever even thought of it. The owners of Sunset have owned it for years....and I do not beleive that there is any relationship between them and the owners of Alegria. Personally, I have been frequenting Sunset for as long as we have owned our timeshare at LaPlage....and that is about TWENTY years before Alegria ever came into the picture. I enjoy the food, the drink, and the fun at Sunset for all these years....and have no reason to stop doing this. Oh, and yes....LOVE watching the planes come and go. Should we all stop going to Marty's Dream Bar also...which is right on Alegria property....and we sure know that Alegria doesnt own that bar...just the property it is located at. Should we make Marty lose his livliehood because of it's location.(Marty was there years before Alegria...and Marty is doing everything in his power to stay there with all the court cases against him).

I'm confused...when you go on vacation to other locations, say the South Shore, do you research who owns what restaurant / bar before patronizing the business? Sorry but I'm on vacation and I like visiting SSBG and could care less who owns the property, who leases the property or what connection they have with other businesses. I'm only on the island 2 weeks a year and obviously haven't developed the connection to business owners that some of you appear to have.

San said: There is a huge connection between the Sunset and Alegria, Really?? Based on what?????????? Sunset was there a LONG, LONG time before Alegria bought the right to long lease.

Alegria I guess has the right to long lease to the property now, but that still doesn't mean anything, other than they are now paying rent to Alegria..

We used to hang out at the SSBB every night and it was always exciting. Now we stop over and it is dead by 7:00 PM and closed by 9:00. We asked the manager what happened and he said with all the day activity, they don't need the night activity anymore. It's a shame as I can remember when this was the place to go at night for music and dancing. Now it is just a memory.
