Dallas Cowboys Owners Yacht Whale Tail 4 hours ago Jerry Jones yacht Bravo Eugenia is anchored right off the point where Cocos Beach Bar is. It's 357 feet in length. My camera on my phone is not the best at night pictures, but it sure is impressive sitting out there.

Wheelchair Assistance Mikel 4 hours ago After travelling annually to SXM for 30 years I finally have to make use of wheelchair assistance due to a knee replacement that has not healed as expected. I can walk on and off the plane with a cane but cannot traverse between gates without some assistance.

My question is about tipping the wheel chair pusher or the golf cart driver. I was thinking of $10 per ride but would welcome comments from those that have used these services in the past.

Thanks in advance.

Rendezvous Jazz Brunch Whale Tail Yesterday at 11:48 PM Once again we're off to Cupecoy for the Rendezvous Jazz Brunch. When you get there you know it's pretty much the same set list every Sunday and wonder why you're here again. But, half way through the 3 hour show you're having fun and by the end of the show you're saying what a great afternoon. That's why we keep coming back. It's the interaction between the band and the crowd.

This time we met fellow TTOL'ers CaribbeanCanadians and family which was a pleasure and of course I don't think there's been a time there that WendyK hasn't been there. It wouldn't be a complete trip to SXM without a hug from WendyK.

They have a new menu at Rendezvous, sorry didn't take a picture but will next Sunday. My wife had the Goat Cheese Pizza and I went for the Sliders which is new both were good.

Caribbean Cellars CestLaVie Yesterday at 06:26 PM Headed to BVI end of this month. Looking for any update on Caribbean Cellars. Their online portal has a outdated product/price list. I have requested contact via their portal, but no response to that request. We have the option to use the Moorings provisioning site, but they lack some of the item our crew would prefer.

The trip that was not meant to be KenW Yesterday at 05:50 PM Until December 23rd, we were looking forward to getting ready for our Philipsburg to Philipsburg 7-day cruise on Silversea Silver Shadow that was scheduled to depart today, January 4th. To be safe, we booked our Delta flight to SXM for January 3rd -- giving us an extra day. We planned to stay one night at Oceans at Divi Little Bay before boarding the ship today. Then, after the cruise ended, we were going to spend three days at La Playa. Well, all that went out the window when my gallbladder went bad and ultimately had to be removed on 12/26. So, we had to cancel the cruise and all hotel reservations.

But a storm of irony hit yesterday. With the Venezuela incursion, Delta cancelled the flight that we were supposed to be on through Atlanta to SXM. I doubt they could have gotten us to SXM by embarkation time today. And what really adds to the irony, we would have been able to make it if we had not scheduled our flight a day early and gone today instead, since Delta is flying to SXM today. So, planning ahead and being cautious would have cost us the trip. I cannot know what would have happened yesterday when we would have tried to fly to SXM and could not. But, it certainly would have been extremely frustrating to lose the cruise due to those circumstances.

As it is, all that is moot, and the real culprit was my malfunctioning gallbladder and the 8 staples in my belly.

Grand Case restaurants gitter Yesterday at 05:32 PM Good morning,

I hope some one can help me. A number of years ago (7...8 ?) we visited a French restaurant. in Grand Case. This place (Bistro Carib? Le Cottage?) listed a number of courses where you could select 5 items as a tasting/sampling?? It was a wonderful way to try a small bite and see how the food actually tasted, rather than take a guess and hope for the best. It helped ud choose the meal. I felt it was an excellent idea. Yes I know you can do a search and know the ingredients of a meal i.e. "foie gras" is goose liver but it will not tell you the taste and texture.
Thank you in advance,
gitter

Breakfast At Reveil Matin Whale Tail 01/03/2026 04:29 PM It took us a week but we finally got to our favorite breakfast place. We both had The Reveil which is fresh fruit in their milk cream served with a bagel and cream cheese. Yum. Our second favorite waitress served us, Julliette but when our favorite waitress Kareen found out that we were there 2 Mimosas magically appeared.

JD Kareen says hi.
