Took a minute till I realized they were talking about Alegria. Couldn't figure out how there would be room for another new hotel on Simpson Bay. The last I knew, they weren't doing ANY work there. Can't be opening this year if there's nothing going on yet. What ever happened with the suit by the timeshare owners??

OK, thanks. I thought someone here said there was nothing going on there.

If and when they get open, I hope maybe they will put tables back in, at the Dunes.

That's not really Simpson Bay...thank God. I don't think they really have a beach there or much of. For the 20 years I have been going to SXM Nothing in that spot has ever really been much of a success. Seems like one mess after another in that spot. Personally when I go to SXM I don't want to go up elevator or big resort. I want a beach (not rocks) at my door step or very close by!

Funny, that was my first response also, that that is not Simpson Bay. I don't know whether that is technically Simpson Bay or not.

Kim, Long ago owned by same owner as Mullet Bay, Kamal Alsaltani (sp?) before "The Ambassador". Then briefly by Ted Allen, in the early 1990's as a time share. It then closed and a storm or two did some damage and a fire while closed. Bought by Danny and Manek in 1996 from bankruptcy court and reopened as Millennium in 1998. Then reverted to original name, Caravanserai. Alegria was next and now Morgan.

Will never go anywhere near it. That is Caravanserai / Alegria renamed and fancied up by the guy who threw timeshare owners out and nullified their contracts. I will never put a dime into his hands or the hands of any businesses he controls....

Beautiful! I remember it well as our earliest trips were of that vintage. TY for sharing your beautiful photo.

The owner is the same owner of the former Alegria Resort. Nothing has changed there to my knowledge. He is definitely not well liked by all the owners of that timeshare!

Neil or Lesley, Wasn’t there also something called Club Munday amidst all those different reincarnations of what we originally knew as the Caravanserai, little sister to MBR & C?

Kim--next to which grocery store? This is also the first I have heard of a new casino. I didn't think that there were any more casino licenses available and that the only way to get a new casino license at the moment was to have it attached to a hotel with 200 rooms??

As you go into the property on the left across from the guard gate before you get to Carefor.

OK. Does it look like it will be open soon? I still didn't think there were any additional casino licenses available.. But I guess if one has money...
