The Cliff?
TwentySix
1 hour ago
Hello everybody
I've been lurking on this forum for some years, appreciate all the news, reviews and hubbub here 🙂
We love the island, stayed several times at Princess Heights in Dawn Beach, now we love being in Cupecoy - tried Mullet Towers and Porto Cupecoy. Since we just decided to head down at the end of July/beginning of August, looking around for what's available, one of the possibilities is a two-bedroom Oceanfront at The Cliff. Does anybody have opinions about staying there? I see there's a little strip of beach in front of it, I imagine that it comes and goes? Has anybody been over that way recently to say if it's actually a beach that we can swim out from? Can you get to Mullet by walking through the Cupecoy Beach Club along their sidewalk from The Cliff?
We usually go to Mullet, unless there is seaweed or crazy loud boats in the water, then we drive around until we find somewhere suitable. For all the times we've been on the island we've never ventured into Mario's there on The Cliff property, heard mixed things about it besides being pricey. Our favorite is Bistrot Caraïbes and still head to the French side to eat most times. Any thoughts? Thanks for all the great info and pictures over the years!

Recommendations for airport transfer + driver for a day

5 hours ago
Good morning! It's been a while since we last visited SXM and for this upcoming trip, I am taking my four 20-something nieces and nephews (what am I getting myself into!?). We are looking for transfer for 6 persons from the airport to Orient village and then someone we can hire for a day to visit other areas of interest on the island - any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

InterCaribbean Air Baggage ?s

Yesterday at 04:58 PM
I can't get a reading on which plane they fly on the SJU-EIS route so I can guess how much bin space there is, they say the carry on is very small not the usual roller bag. They give you one free checked
bag that is up to 50 lbs, they say. Has anyone dealt with this and it would be good to know if the check baggage check in and pick up process is actually carried out in a smooth way?

Just finished 10 days on island

First time back since Irma
Best restaurant food we found was Le Terrace, Mezza Luna , Le Tropicana
Also ate at Alize and Be Kool and RD Lounge in Porto Cupecoy
Went to Anguilla for a round of golf - very enjoyable
Visited Grand Case, Happy Bay, Friars, Anse, Plum Bay
Most locals told me on the french side that the govt was the main issue on the rebuild with numerous permits and other things held up
Looks like the dutch side is way ahead with that
Local in Anguilla told me they were back up and running in 3 months after Irma
Said that SXM still needs to start building all their homes etc with concrete and rebar and they visited the island to tell them that but it looks like not all are paying attention
We agreed there is 2x the traffic there now compared to 2017 and we have all been there now close to 10x

Was ther in March and it was nasty, dirty, sewage pipe leaking sewage right by the dingy dock. The bartenders were surly and slow. We heard it shut down for health and safety reasons for a bit. Heading back in a few weeks with a new crew and they really want to go. Anybody been in the last couple of weeks and have an update?
