Elaine--I assume without knowing, you are talking about Sharon??
I hear rumors that only part of the property is ready for occupation, but this has been an incredibly long time in coming. I note that article seems to say all units would have a washer and dryer, but I would be surprised at that..

You'll have to ask her, I don't know her plans.

Unless they put a small stackable w/d in the units, not sure how they would have them in every unit. It would be a nice touch if they did this.

Good deal, we always stay in this area of Sint Maarten so now we have a few more lodging options. Are there any pics of the newly remodeled rooms at Flamingo yet?

I have seen pictures but they have been posted on private Facebook pages that I belong to. Flamingo will be just fantastic and can't wait for my May 4 week stay there.

If you click on the links for each resort, and actually try to make a reservation, you can see some pictures of rooms, etc., but unless I'm doing something wrong, you cannot really see the pictures very well, as they don't enlarge.
Also, booking as a HOTEL is available for dates in January, but the rates shown do not include a mandatory 20% TAX (which is BS, the tax in SXM is NOT 20%, it is tax and SERVICE CHARGE), plus $24.95 per DAY resort fee. I really loathe resort fees.

It's my understanding from the email I recieved from Diamond it will be a soft opening only for fixed week owners through March.

Hi Carol, Eric & all TTOL members!! I just wanted to touch base after a long absence!! There are several whole owners at RP who rented other accommodations on island during the renovations & they will most likely be the ones moving back in the quickest. Bill & Elaine know several of them now from the Yacht Club so I am no longer the only whole owner they know from RP😁
Mike & I will not be headed down until this virus situation is a little better in both places. I personally do not want to fly yet & since I haven’t seen my place in almost 3 years there is no rush. I also have not been on island since August of 2019 (had a car accident, then revision surgery on my knee in early March & within 10 days of my surgery the virus took over) so I want to be able to visit all of my island people & I don’t feel safe doing that right now. I miss the island & everyone there & I will be back in 2021 but I just don’t know when yet.
I also miss all my “old” customers & I miss TTOL!! Since closing the business (I just beat Irma to it!!) & then having my home temporarily taken from me by Diamond I have been in a real funk. Hopefully my new home here in SC & getting back to RP will put an end to my funkiness!!!

The pictures of what they call condo one bedroom is of the A side of the 2 bed lockout villa buildings 3 and 4. A side is the smaller of the 2 sides. Villa building 6 doesn't have the sliding patio doors like buildings 3 and 4 has.

Sorry to hear of your accident and knee revision surgery.Hopefully things will improve for you in 2021. Great to hear you are settling in to your new home in South Carolina. Hopefully some day we will meet again in SXM.
