It looked like it was pretty close when we were there on June 17, although allegedly they hadn't gotten their liquor license yet. That blurb didn't mention anything about paying for a one time entrance, but I hope that is still available.

Lesley--truthfully, any airport can deny access to their business lounge to most any card they want. Presumably they will have similar rules to what they had in the past though.

That "...waiting for agreement with stakeholders..." sound like we'll all be paying. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I was getting my hopes up.
Yeah, I was hopeful as well. Looks like it will be a similar situation as the old one was, and I'm sure it will be more than $20 now. Still worth it to me if it's quiet.

Remember when travelers dressed really nice???? I still wear a jacket and dress slacks when traveling to "our" island!!! Now half of them I bet barely bath before leaving the house, still in their PJ's!! AND those will be the first to B*TCH that they have been denied entrance to the lounge!!!
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

Alltech--as I said, it was quiet BEFORE in SXM, and you could pay to go in, as that's what I did. It was heaven. We shall see how this version is.

If its $20/person there will be literally no room for anyone in the lounge. A beer and a water costs $20 at an airport bar. I hope they charge $50/person at least! I think that you overestimate the willingness of many SXM visitors to cough up yet another $20/head on their way off of the island. Some, but not a lot, will. Most won’t.

https://www.facebook.com/reel/1038566957693466 In the promo video it shows a nice shower available in the executive lounge, so if you drag yourself to the airport right off the beach you can wash the sand away before boarding your flight. There is a dress code so coverup and don’t wear your sandy beach flip flops entering the lounge.

Elaine didn't say other drinks were not available, just that they were not FREE.
