TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Lee's opened

Just read a post on Facebook that they drove by and Lee's was open. Anybody else on island that can confirm that? Nothing posted on Lee's Facebook page.

The sign is up but not open as yet.

New location?

Right across the street from the Atrium, on Billy Folly.

It may or may not be true but I would take it with a grain of salt as I believe the sign has been there for a few days.

Thank you.

J.D , the sign was covered for awhile but about a week now they have removed the cover. Looking forward for the opening .

Thanks Lesley.
See you in a couple of months.

Okay Bro and we need you Folks not freaking out and going elsewhere lol. I'm 61 , aint going nowhere , harsh reality .

No freaking out on my end or going elsewhere Lesley. The biggest deterrent for me is reasonable air fare to SXM. $721pp to get there and back for the upcoming trip and it is up to $1800. Not sure how they can sell tickets at that price. We are glad to be returning.

BTW, I have you by a couple of years.

I hear ya and thanks that for us , vacation days are gone. Got to work to pay bills for our Son College in Toronto.

It really pays to get your tickets 10-11 months ahead.

That is when I initially purchased tickets but AA screwed with the schedule and I then bought at a low price 6 months out.

We bought our May round trips for next year last June and just purchased our July round trips last week. All on AA. Got pretty good prices for first class with only 1 connection each way with no overnight stays. All in the $800 range per person each way except for using miles coming back in May for 50,000 each.

If you're doing a non-stop, that they should not cancel, like out of Miami, absolutely no reason not to book way ahead of time if you get a great price, like we did for our trip next year. If you have connections, it can sometimes be chancy especially with AA..

Yes I realize that but any airline can be chancy. We have one connection on the way down from SEA through Philadelphia and the other 3 flights going to SXM and returning to SEA all go through CLT. Would have preferred to go through CLT instead of Philly but the price was to good to pass up. Hoping that one will be rescheduled to CLT. We'll see what happens. Plenty of time between now and then.

WE will be there soon darlin'!!!

But, is or will Lee's be open?

That's the 6 mil dollar question. Maybe TTOL members need to get a pool going. LOL

Apparently not, as of yet, but I'm guessing any day..

Thanks Dear !

one of the perks of points versus fixed week, midweek costs r significantly lower, but lesser options bot march tickets from jetblue,(boston) sunday to yuesday ( days) direct flite sunday layover tuesday, for 1350z$ for 2 peeps

Just passed by and they are open. Congrats to him and Wife.

Great news

So scubaman what’s good to eat at Lee’s

They always have fresh Snappers , Mahi Mahi and Lobsters .

Love their ribs and they have the best Cole slaw and potato salad on the island. Used to enjoy the snapper filet but now they use a different fish for the filet which is still good.

Thanks y’all, will try them out! Thanks again

Everything at Lee's is usually very good to eat. They have fantastic ribs....Snapper....decent reasonable price steaks...and all will NOT break the bank. I wish them the BEST of luck...and am so thrilled to know that they are back. Last March vacation was extremely missing Lee's.

We drove by today and saw them serving several customers, however our plans changed and we went elsewhere. But I can confirm they are open and look like a brand new penny! If I get a chance I’ll take some pictures for all to see

I hear you on that, only problem is when you are not able to book a place first. Am having quite a time this year and have been on the search since March. Not giving up....lol

I with there would have been a statement addressing parking options on that page.

When it is not something positive, you likely do not address it or draw attention to it. Valet parking has been mentioned, including by Lee, but you still have to have someplace to put the cars.

Was hoping that wasn't the case.

This is good news to hear that Lee's is open! I will make sure to stop by in December when we are visiting the island.

Lee's recently opened with many of the old staff.
Smaller restaurant but comfortable.
Menu looks the same. Very simple menu.
Service was professional with plenty of smiles.
Small lobster tank with some pretty good monsters.
The aromas from the smoker with ribs and chicken filled the restaurant.
Parking will be up the hill behind the restaurant but work still needs to be completed.
Word is that they are waiting for a location to open up to provide access to fishing boat.
Looks like a new option for the timeshare walkers.
Service charge only by cash, no line on credit cards.

How much parking will be available up the hill?

Didn't look as we arrived for just early cocktails and an appetizer. There are four spaces just up a little from the road.
They are still working on completing the parking situation up the hill and not advertising the parking there.
Sounded like they may be working along side the parking for the housing units at the top of the hill.
Yes valet parking is also being discussed.

Thanks. Valet parking would solve a lot of parking issues.
