TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Status of Westin, Friers and Happy Bay

Can anyone give me an update on the Westin Dawn Beach Hotel. We used to enjoy staying there but have not seen any information on their status.

Also, what is the status of Friers and Happy Bay? Is there any vegetation on the beach. We spent quite a few enjoyable days under the shade of the big tree in the middle of the beach there.

Thank you for your responses.
