Thanks @Carol_Hill for the gentle prod. Somehow, WestJet had their act together and we had a great week in SXM. We stayed at LTC in Grand Case and all was well. Except for one day when we went to Orient Bay (and had a great lunch at Bikini Beach), we stayed in Grand Case. I was surprised at how busy it was. The beach clubs were all doing a good business. Saw some awesome fireworks non the Feast of Grand Case and that Sunday was one big party. I was very happy at LTC and being able to walk everywhere. (And a killer view!) We tried some old favourites (Le Pressoir, Captain Frenchy’s, Rainbow Cafe) and some new places (Tropics Beach Bar). We were pleasantly surprised at the rebuild of Calmos Cafe. Even had pizza one night at Ti Case.
Korner is an interesting place, lovely decor and view but very quiet each time we visited.

Lots of boats, yachts etc visiting the beach during the day. So definitely not quiet but it was nice seeing the village bustling.
