Bomba and "Finley"
Manpot
Yesterday at 10:19 PM
Back from two and a half lovely months at CRC on Little Apple Bay and a couple of interesting things of note.There is a move to open a new "Bomba Shack" across the road from the original..tent set up and free sodas and an invite to bring your own beers and leave a donation.Really hope this gets some support.
And it seems we have a new resident in the bay. Nearly every morning we saw a baby shark, maybe a foot long swimming along the shortbreak eating tiny bait fish.It was very pale in colour and right at the shoreline..I named him/her "Finley"..a lovely sight to see!

Cell Phones
Potter
Yesterday at 05:12 PM
We have US Cellular, which has now merged with T-Mobile. Their customer service agent told us it would cost us each an additional $15/day to use cell phones in St. Maarten. Could this be right? I've never encountered something like this but when we used to travel to St. Maarten annually, we had Verizon. She didn't seem like the brightest bulb so I'll call again, but this forum will probably be more assistance than their call center.Thanks!
Edit: I should add that she told us it wouldn't cost anything is we're on Wifi and Airplane mode off. Not sure that makes sense, either.

Groceries Near The Village
Potter
Yesterday at 04:41 PM
We land around 3:00 Monday, renting a car, and staying at Palm Court near the village. We haven't been to the island since before Irma. Looking for assistance as to the best place to grab groceries enroute from the airport to the hotel. We usually just grab stuff for sandwiches, snacks, beer/wine, etc., nothing fancy. TIA

entry form qstn

Yesterday at 02:07 PM
I just filled it out and in seconds I got confirmation. Seems odd since I've read all the problems here that have been encountered.
My question is: Judging on the quick time received, is it okay? Or will something else follow? I want to print it incase someone asks for it during travel.

Just a few questions for our week coming up please
the captain
02/10/2026 01:49 AM
 Who's around next week?
So this is our celebratory trip...a year ago, in SXM, we learned of my wife's cancer. We now return to toast her health.
Looking forward to coming back to Marks Place, Fritay and possibly Resto Hercule. Maybe Bucanneers (Colour, what do you like about this place?)
And finally, we will get to La Terasse Rooftop & Jax!
Is Vesna still in action or changed ? How are we liking Pardon My French? Opa Taverna? Pollo Hernandez?
In the past, I know people have touted certain "nights' at restaurants, like lobster, pork, steak nights. But I can't recall where. Any recommendations on a great grilled pork chop? and other places with good grilled meats?
And for a great fondue? Heck, I may even bring home a brie or two from the right place.
and THANKS for the TRAFFIC tips a few threads ago. Great call to list the bridge times.
actually, here they are for now:
Simpson Bridge Opening Times. 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM, 10:30AM, 11:30AM, 02:00 PM, 4:00 PM, 05:00 PM
Causeway bridge- 08:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 04:30 PM
Bought jewelry last year in Maho but didnt shop around. Who do we like for jewelry deals?
MIGHT buy liquor but having 2nd thoughts that someone might lift my $$ booze from my checked luggage...
And good places to watch Formula 1 coverage? A few years ago, I found a place other than watch Ligue 1 football 
Lastly, I hope to spend a day or 2 up in Orient. What are your fave restaurants up that way and things to do there? And is it looked down upon to bring our own chair or unbrellas there or to places like Mullet or Friars?
