Glad I was able to give you some limited guidance! LOL. Been a long time traveler to SXM and every visit I rent a car, so didn't know about the local bus fares or structure. I knew the cabbies were...

So if you are staying in Maho with no car, I am guessing you are either with wife and or family and have taken the hotel provided shuttle from the airport to whatever property you are staying at....

Head to Carolinas. If you are staying in Maho and taking a cab, get a jump on the traffic and the draw bridge opening and leave an hour early. Negotiate a round trip fare with the cabbie and pay him...

What shark is saying is that it's $60.00 USD for (4) 30 minutes and $100 USD for (4) 60 minutes. Hopefully this helps clarify. Your best bang for your buck is to do a 30 minute session as a test...

Thought I'd help BigIrish out. Ok. 5 ships in port that day. You are going to have to deal more with ship crew than passengers in the clubs. All the young help on those cruise ships are aware of the...

Just read a headline story on yahoo today that both French and Dutch st. Martin / st. Maarten are listed by the CDC as high level risk Caribbean destinations along with St. Barth's and a few others....

Seems like SXM is coming back to life. Kudos to those that have navigated the bureacratic paperwork to make it to the island. A shout out to my friend Knotebuoy. I knew you had the itch and couldn't...

Well Mel has been the only one that has dipped his toe in the water. And I'm sure it's been a tough one to navigate during these times, . And it seems like it's a buyers market down there. But still...

See you arrive today, the 5th, and guessing the Sonesta is at Maho Beach. I haven't been on island in quite awhile, most recently due to COVID and secondly, since the major hurricane that wreaked...

Have read the last couple of posts on here. Can't believe the chica bars are open when COVID is again spiking in the islands. And Mel, the only thing in place is a midnight closing? What the hell is...

Concur about passing. Not only SXM, but Aruba and Curacao as well until hopefully this thing blows over. It's already taken somewhat of a backseat as a news story with the racial protest going on...

Will mongering ever be the same? Glad I'm on the downslope and have put my time in on Aruba, SXM, and Finally Curacao last fall, before the pandemic has changed the world. Since chatter is light,...

Glad you found El Capitain or El Captain. Since you've found that place, there are three more casas that you can easily find from here. When you leave El Capitain, instead of taking the right to head...

I have not been to SXM since the last devastating hurricane, but Orient Beach prior to the destruction, is one of my favorite beaches of the Caribbean. Not sure how much it's come back from the big...

If you do some further digging on the forum, or even look up on youtube for the Casa Ride video, there are 3 other clubs very close to Carolina's you can also check out. Crystal's is across the...

Concur that the place must have just opened around June timeframe. I wouldn't necessarily call it's location in a "dodgy area" though. The Westin Hotel is around the corner, Oyster Pond is within...

Last time I was in SXM pre Hurricane Irma and visited Casa Blanca they did have a sign at the entrance saying no slippers. I was laughing my ass off and didn't realize they were referring to sandals....

Did some digging on the net and saw an advertisement for 2 for Tuesdays at the aforementioned Phantasm. From the flyer I saw, they are putting a big emphasis on dress code. Leave you hat in the car....

As DennisMP mentioned in his post titled "Walking" a tourist was shot and killed last week in the Beacon Hill / Maho Bay area. I did some digging. It was a 48 year old Canadian father leaving the...

Appreciate your zest for a bit of a walk, but it is. More than a bit of a walk from the cruise ship terminal. And do you really want to arrive sweaty and unappealing at the clubs? Here's some options...

Got a chuckle out of Lunar's post! Glad Mel took point and gave the first response! Hey, everyone's got there own kink, and the urban dictionary defines shrimping, as just what Lunar's into. As been...

Been going to SXM for nearly 30 years now. I remember the first time I poked my head into the Platinum Club. I think I was on Maho Beach and it was late afternoon or early evening and I was watching...

It's a shame the management of Defiance or whatever they are calling it, is tolerating this kind of clientele. Maybe because it's really only a local crowd that frequents the place at night. Prior to...

OK, your initial post was kind of vague regarding what you're looking for regarding recommendations. You're on the right track with renting a car. Where you will be staying is key also. The ride back...

OK, after digesting posts from the past several months, figured I'd take a stab at updating the club line-up on The Friendly Island. Plus, it's a crappy weather day and a winter storm is imminent, so...
