Not to be argumentative but we’ve traveled to SXM every year for the past 49 and we always drink the water there. We typically stay on the Dutchvside and the water is desalinated and has been in the resorts for as long as we’ve been visiting. Never had a problem although I have been cautioned not to drink tap water in many of the French lications. I don’t know if this is fact or fiction but I do know you’ll be fine drinking tap water at the Dutch resorts.
Now Mexico? That’s another issue.We went once and was careful but I never gave a thought to ice cubes put in a drink I enjoyed, but only enjoyed momentarily. This ice cube chewer paid the price a few hours later.
Many prefer bottled water anywhere but that’s a whole other issue. We have great tap water from our well at home and it is definitely my personal preference but gobeach his own.

Personally, I prefer bottled water here in the US, but the water is normally safe in SXM, either side. The only exception would be if you are staying in a villa on a cistern. So, I would say, other than a cistern situation, it is personal preference.

I really wouldn’t venture a guess but at least as old as the latest storm damage/remodel, I’m sure.. From DH’s plumber standpoint, he suggests you don’t worry about it. Evry little ting - gonna’ be alright!!
