Does anyone know if the Sunset Cafe at Grand Case Beach Club is open? Also, what time the 2-3 Supermarket near the rotary which is also near the dutch/french monument closes on a Sunday?

Yes it's open under new management and last March we didn't enjoy it as much as in the past. Could have been "start-up woes"? If you stay at GCBC they no longer offer free with room.

What is no longer free with room?

I think they’re talking about the continental breakfast that used to be included. I didn’t notice it on our reservation for next year but that’s not the end of the world, or not for us anyway.........

Ok. Thanks for clarification.

Yes, I meant the continental breakfast is no longer included with the room. I can't remember the names of the new people at the restaurant but they are a brother and sister.

It is Zuzu and her brother, don't remember his name.

I had a late lunch last time I was on island and also had a less-than-stellar experience. I chalked it up to start-up woes and will give them another chance on my upcoming trip.

any insights on the grocery store question?

We were not as happy as in the past with the new Sunset Cafe food/service when we were there in July. . We will give in another chance once they have their full new kitchen completed. They were working under difficult conditions. I also heard the old owners will be opening a small restaurant in Grand Case.Do not know where or when.

We ate from the "food-truck" while the old owners were there and it was delicious. Second meal under new ownership was not so stellar, so it wasn't the kitchen or lack of.

I personally am not familiar with the store you are referring to. You have a bunch of great options for grocery stores in the Hope Estate area, including Super U and Leader Price, and Petit Casino, in the Village, but I don't really know their hours on Sunday offhand. I THINK the Super U closes at 2 on Sunday.
