Hi Can anyone tell me how Grand Case is?

When I was there this last May road was in very bad shape. the only beach bar open was rainbow which we wrote off years ago.

Grand Case Beach Club restaurant Sunset Cafe is on Petit Plage and open. They have chairs for rent.

A'uberge Gormand, La Villa, Spiga, and others on the non water side are open.

Nice (Neecee) restaurant on water side near small bridge is open L and D and serving good food.

Here is a link to a recent Grand Case video, that shows it's current condition:

Nice video from May....looks pretty normal to me

Not sure if he's looking for current or in general but Spiga is closed for vacation for a few months I believe.

We have just returned home from SXM and spent a week at Grand Case Beach Club. The video from May, presents GrandCase in a very good light. There is still least fifty percent of the main strip either deserted or under slow construction. Right now they are digging up the road again. There are great restaurants open, and we very much enjoyed our time, but it is not at all back to normal.

As I said with regard to our trip in June this year, right NOW Orient Village is a better option. Good parking and tons of great places to eat!

Perhaps this should be a new thread but Carol's insight brought to mind how things change. P"Burg used to be the place with restaurants and casinos open into the wee hours. Now it's Simpson Bay and Maho areas. Now Grand Case may be replaced by Orient Village.

Marina Royal was once great. I recall our discovery of it and a tiny French restaurant tucked away in the entrance to the Marina from the main road to Marigot. Only 3 plates offered: Fish Chicken Blood Sausage. Back then there were many shops, beautiful clothing, soaps, linens.

I remember when we first found the Village and was excited by what were new restaurants to us. Since we've discovered restaurants in Concordia that are delightfully delicious. Had it not been a trip to Fleming Hospital we'd have never found them.
