TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin SXM article in local paper

I have been a timeshare owner at said Resort since 1992...Go there twice a year for 2 weeks at a time...Have NEVER seen any of what the poster speaks of....Few mosquitos now and then but they are all around the world and not exclusive to SXM....And rats,,, they are everywhere also....They are part of life...I am so sorry to read this article and see the bum rap that Pelican/SimpsonBayResort is taking for this...They are a first class operation..
