TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Trip report

Arrived Tuesday the 28th. We arrived on Tuesday trying to avoid any problems at the airport. Well that didn't work. We waited 1 1/2 hours for our luggage at the luggage carousel. When we told our story to the Caribbean Card person, she said we were lucky since some of her
other customers had waited 3 hours.

First night we ate at Topper and each of us had the chicken kabobs and the were great. That was the first time in the new place and it is very attractive.

Second night (29th), we drove over to Grand Case and visited the reopened Calmos Cafe. They did a really nice job on the rebuild and nicely decorated. Joanie had the lobster ravioli with scallops and I had a ceaser salad with shrimp. Both were excellent and then we shared a chocolate molten volcano cake with ice cream. Wow was that cake good. We highly recommend both Toppers and Calmos Cafe.

Tomorrow we have reservations at Oceans 82. We have been there before so we know what to expect, but Toppers and Calmos have set the bar high.

Thanks for the report. We haven't been to the new Calmos, so we need to get back there.

By the way, it is OCEAN ( singular) 82, not Oceans. Great place. Enjoy!!!
