St. Maarten (The southern Dutch side)

[Buck On89]

Shark,

Thanks for taking so much time out of your day to write such detailed reports. If I was your teacher I would give you an A+ or a grade of 105 (5 bonus points).

Someday, we should all work on a collective post on hotels / resorts. (then tag it in reports of distinction) allow newbies find things quickly and on their own (cross our fingers).

Hey all,

I will be visiting this weekend to start my new year right. It's been a few years since I've been to St. Maarten so hopefully I will get a chance to hit up a few spots. My last trip I visited Carolines and Defiance. Both were good but my time there was short and I never really had a chance to plan accordingly. This trip will be equally short but with the help of you friendly informative chaps, I should be having some great memories.

Cheers

Pt. 2 - Review of the strip clubs.

3. Strip clubs (including Bada Bing).

You are probably aware I have my heart at the chica bars on the eastside for IMHO some very good reasons. The strip clubs are located on the westside around Maho / Simpson Bay. I call these clubs overpriced tourist traps. But they are not without a certain quality, I admit.

Platinum Club:
Website: http://www.platinum-best-adult-enter...nt-maarten.com

This is St. Martin's premiere strip club. Breathtaking line-up, VERY professional pole dancers (no weak participants), very professional in their approach with the guests (always sweet, polite, correct, seductive, and a little mechanical sometimes), and very professional lap dances in the back (with very decent mileage). And yes, AFAIK most girls are open for take-outs all night at your hotel for an amusing amount of dollars ($1. 000 to the girl + another $250 to the club).

How good is Platinum Club really; compared to top US strip clubs? I am not an expert on strip clubs at all, and my experience with US strip clubs is way too limited to give a convincing answer. What I can say is that there are reports in this thread from gents claiming to be experts on US strip clubs saying it can compete with the best around. Personally I have been at some of the strip clubs in Paris, London, Ft. Laurderdale, Miami, Houston, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and IME PC is among the very best.

At least it has improved since my last visit two years ago, when I was disappointed with too much anorexic girls (a big turnoff for me). This year's line-up looked way more healthy, and also younger (all in their 20's). Around 30 EE girls mostly from Ukraine or Russia (with a few from Belarus and Poland). All speak decent English. No latinas or Romanians this year AFAIK.

On first night I always try to watch all the girls do pole dance before making my move. Not always a popular move among a bunch of girls wanting lady drinks and opportunity to sweettalk you in the back, but hey, I want quality for my bucks. Lady drinks are for preferred girls from second night on.

Pricing:
- No entrance fee when I visited. Previously $10 which included a "free" drink.
- Beer $8 (?).
- Lady drink: $10 (?).
- Lap dance: $30 (5- 6 mnts with good mileage).

What I learnt this year is that lap dance prices are often negotiable if you buy a few. Typically you are offered a lap dance for $20 from dance #3.

In this wonderful world of commercialism, the mileage increased the more lap dances you paid for:
- 1st dance: Dress off, then bra, and at the end the panties (yeah, it sure gets you motivated for a 2nd dance, doesn't it!). Mutual soft touches / hugs / kisses permitted (no groping!).
- 2nd dance: All nude, sucking on tits, pussy in your face, increased grinding to your little one, dance ending with sugarsweet promises like "I can try to get you off if you buy one more ...".
- 3rd dance: Serious attempts to get you off in your pants.
- 4th dance: Sorry, didn't last that long ...*blushing*.

Highlights:

Miranda (Belarus):
Supercute early 20's girl with an angelic supermodel eyes / face and a body to die for. You rarely see such a hot girl anywhere, and in particular not in the p4p world. I was totally mesmerized by the optics and had to take her back. Very enthusiastic lap dance and well worth money spent.

Victoria (Ukraine):
Whoaw! What a dancer! She took my breath away. Being a cheapskate all night with my single dollars, the dollar bills suddenly moved in mysterious ways to her g-string. It's amazing. A few minutes later she was sitting next to me. Not that surprising. Mid / late 20's. Definetively more mature than Miranda, and IMO with a more professional and hotter approach. You could feel the lap dance would be good, and whoaw .... Enough said!

Red Diamond:
Website: http://www.reddiamondsxm.com/home.php

Sorry, not much to say. This was the other club I did not visit on this trip. This name appeared a few months ago on the premises of the old Golden Eyes, which IME usually was the runner-up strip club on the island.

Quality has varied over the years. Sometimes EE girls. Sometimes latinas. Sometimes a mix. I think I read somewhere there are EE girls this year. I have never seen this club on the same level as Platinim Club, but there is usually a few exotic dancers there to keep things interesting. This year? Sorry, I have no idea.

In previous years the pricing structure was the same as at Platinum Club.

Bada Bing:
Is it really a strip club? The girls strip, but no lap dances. But sex on the site. At amusing prices.

But what a great improvement from previous years! See my report for details: http://www.internationalsexguide.inf...=1#post1662083

Next: A few highlights from Carolina's / Hypnotic. And one letdown? To be discussed.
(this report will be postponed a few days for private reasons).

[Shark16]

Pt. 1 - Overview and review of the eastside chica bars.

First the facts: St. Martin has 11 clubs / bars with adult entertainment spread around the Dutch (Southern) part of the island.

Google Map of clubs:

Directions (Videos from BuckOn):
http://www.internationalsexguide.inf...=1#post1528978.
http://www.internationalsexguide.inf...=1#post1649475.

Hey, the dog IS always there. LOL!

I visited 9 of the 11 during December, got a decent impression of line-ups at 6, with main focus on 2 chica bars. Below is my impression of each individual club / bar. It's just a personal review, I know. Also, be aware of the dynamics on the island. The line-ups can change quickly at some clubs. And there is definetely a difference between high and low season. This is why we need YOUR report next time you visit.

For easy reference I have chosen to separate the reviews in three:

1. Colombiana dominated chica bars

Session: from $50 + $3 for the room.
TLN: $300- 400 (negotiable) + $70 to the club.
Beer / Soft drinks / Juice / Water: $2. Drinks: $5. Chica drinks: $3- 6.

Carolina:
Without doubt my #1 place on the island. Great line up, nice approach, girls working hard to please. It also seemed to be the most popular chica bar on the island considering the many male guests. Details: http://www.internationalsexguide.inf...=1#post1661606.

Hypnotic (fka Seaman's):
It's kind of sad to see the old Seaman's name vanish from the adult entertainment scene on the island. That's the end of a legend. I have so many great memories from this club (both from the old location and this one). The bartender assured me "it IS exactly the same club, it's just that the owner changed the name".

Well, the bar and rooms pretty much look the same as 2- 3 years ago, and in good shape! The music is now less loud than before, in particular in daytime (Thanks!), and the ambience very laid back. Needless to say I enjoy myself here. Bar still a bit too dark though. The rooms in the back are still the best on the island (great big beds, tempered water from showers, and superior air condition!). The restaurant next door is back (was gone two years ago).

The line-up was a bit weaker than before IMHO, and the difference to Carolina's striking. Chicas a bit older (many 30+), and this you could notice in particular when the most popular chicas were busy. I heard different figures for total number of chicas, but believe around 20 to be about correct.

The line-up definitively had potential (5- 6 girls had my attention). A big advantage at Hypnotic are less male guests than Carolina's, which make the chicas more motivated in taking care of you both outside and inside the room (compared to Carolina's), including after a session. This was very clear. Hypnotic is still a great club to visit (my runner-up club on the island).

I will make a separate report on a few highlights from these two line-ups.

2. Dominicana dominated chica bars

Basically the same pricing structure as the Colombiana chica bars (except possibly higher room fees). I did not check TLN prices this time around.

Crystal's:
I just made a quick visit to this club and saw around 8- 10 chicas. Nobody caught my interest right away. Total line-up shoud be around 18- 20. Only club with almost 50/50 Colombianas / Dominicanas. I probably missed out on a few potentials here.

El Capitan:
The first thing you noticed was the outside bar, which is a nice touch I think. While I drove passed this club at least a couple of dozen times both day and night, there never seem to be more than 1- 2 chicas at the outside bar. This is a bit contradictional to previous reports. Has something happened?

The line-up was around 20- 25 including a few with potential: 3- 4 girls among the around 15 I saw (and with a risk that the most popular girls were taken). Preciosa looked good. Jennifer too. Took Jennifer for a spin. Decent, not spectacular.

Petit Chateau:
Yeah, the parking lot is paved! New front looked nice too. Many are saying they have a decent / improved line-up this year. I just had a quick look in daytime with only a few chicas in attendance, so cannot do this club justice. New facilities looks great. My greatest regret this time was that I did not revisit at night.

Defiance:
Oh, I have so many sweet memories from this club. You walk past the doors in the back and you just know that a couple of those doors speak back at you. It's sad to hear that this club is closed most time of the year. It just reopened while I was on the island with lots of rumours; most of them did not seem to come true (see my previous on the site reports).

8 Dominicanas. 2 of these caught my attention. Took Monica for a spin. Cute girl. Hardworking at the bar. She was decent in the room too, but not spectacular. No air condition.

Sunset Retreat:
One of two clubs I did not visit. See ClubTed's report for latest update.

Casablanca:
Haha ...! The first impression is the neverending outside construction. I have been visiting the island for 10 years now, and they never seems to be able to complete the work. But it look promising!

Only 3 chicas present when I visited during an afternoon; none of which had my interest. First time visitors should be aware that this bar usually has the largest line-up of Dominicanas on the island. It's probably best at night. Be adventurous!

Next: A review of the strip clubs around Maho / Simpson Bay.

[Shark16]

At Big R,
Thanks. But hey, I am lurker too! Be sure I read everything I can all year around about my "secret" little paradise island. None of us are fortunate enough to live on the island and give weekly updates anymore, but there is a great bunch of island lovers here who are able to keep it all together. You know who you are. This is my way of saying THANK YOU. Paying back. Passing the torch. Keep up the good work, guys.

At ClubTed,
I agree to all your points. Including your comment on LE Petit Chateau. LOL!

[ClubTed]

I've never been to the club. But based on your report, it might have some potential, but I still have no interest. (although the total nude preview is quite tempting).

1) As I've said in previous posts, I'm assuming the club caters to those in lockdown in the Maho / Simpson Bay region. Thus the increase in price points.

2) Since I stay, over the mountain, (Oyster Pond) the logistics just don't work. Winding roads. And a couple of Presidente's aren't a good mix.

3) Nice number of chicas. And again, nice that you get the full frontal nude view, however. If they don't like window shoppers, I can let them leave the attitude behind. I don't need the BS.

4) Not sure of the inside make-up of the club, but if I get the feel I'm back at a strip club in the states. Well, I should have stayed in the states. However.

5) The room arrangement, and your ability to hook up with a quality chica, if she is the girl of your dreams does seem appealing. That would never happen at a state strip club. Or maybe so?

Again, great detailed report about this venue. Seems like it's got some potential, but I'm a traditionalist and like the casa's starboard side in the island. Great detailed intel, and, I concur with your runner-up recommendation of LE Petite Chateau. Although I do miss the neon. But come on. With the new paved parking lot, this club should have won hands down as most improved club, for us seasoned veterans! LOL!

[BigRiddah]

This is some quality reporting.

I hope the lurkers and noobs appreciate your contributions.

I do, Thanks Shark16.

[Shark16]

I bet you would never expect hearing me say this as I have been so disappointed with this club in the past. But I was pleasantly surprised and almost awestruck when seeing such a strong line-up upon entering this club. Without doubt the strongest Dominicana line-up on the island IME. What an improvement!

Admittedly, it's been two years since my last visit. And there is of course a chance my previous visits have been on bad days or bad time of day. Either way, in my (somewhat limited) experience with this club, the improvements are quite obvious on several levels:

1. Number of girls: At 10 pm there must have been 20- 25 chicas in attendance (all Dominicanas). In previous years I never saw more than 5- 15.

2. Quality of line-up: Very strong line-up this year! Probably the strongest line-up of Dominicanas I have ever seen on the island. Almost on par with Carolina's. Maybe even a few more with all natural bodies. No gorditas. All young (in their 20's).

3. Nudity: All chicas in skimpy outfits (bikinis-like outfits) revealing more skin than any other club on the island.

4. Professional styling: Hair and make-up made very professional. It seems very obvious that the club has done en effort in this respect (you just do not see that in the same way at any other chica bars).

5. Professional approach: Again, it seems the club has done an effort in educating the chicas in sexy, easy and professional approach when meeting male guests. AFAIK all chicas seem to speak a minimum of English. All are smiling, eyeflirting, and making gentle approaches (polite conversation, seductive touches). Just the way you will expect it with the EE girls at Platinum Club (the island's premiere strip club), and almost weird when you think of the aggressive behavior and direct approach you find in the Dominican dominated chica bars. But fear not, it won't take many minutes before any education in gentle approach is all forgotten and her hand is all over your dick, like any Dominicana in this profession would.

6. Professional dancing: The chicas dance moves are vastly improved on a general basis. Less amateurs than in the past, and they are mostly dancing to American hit music (rather than the latin music at the chica bars).

Let me just recap some island adult history for the first time visitor before moving on. In the past the clubs could be divided into:
- the expensive US style strip clubs on the touristic westside of the Dutch side of the island (Maho / Simpson Bay), where girls are exotic dancers who provide pole dancing and private lap dances, but no sex on offer on site. Bada Bing used to be one of three such strip clubs.
- the reasonable priced chica bars on the eastside of the Dutch part of the island (Suckergarden / Oyster Pond at the outskirts of Phillipsburg), where you meet chicas in a bar with the purpose of getting you laid (CFS) in one of the rooms in the back (from $50/25-30 mnts).

A few years ago Bada Bing changed its concept by letting the girls offer sex in the back rooms. In other words, it's a hybrid in the sense that it is a combo strip club / chica bar. All legal. And with the big advantage that you are able to see the girl's dance moves and all nude before taking her back for a spin. This, and in combination with the improvements, make this an adult club of great interest.

So far, so good. But the club still suffers from a few major flaws IMHO, which unfortunately makes it a no-go for me:

1. Clash of cultures: Ok, not a major flaw, but IMO there is something awkard / artificial with a Dominicana looking, behaving and dancing like European or gringa. Cute, but also funny / weird. While I have nothing against the concept as per se, I will at the same time encourage first time visitors to be adventurous and visit the Dominican dominant clubs on the eastside (El Capitan / Petit Chateau / Casablanca / Defiance / Sunset Retreat) to meet REAL Dominicanas and experience the difference. Expect to be chicahandled in less than 30 seconds. A real Dominicana will skip all introductions, does not care where you are from, but will have her hand on your dick within that half minute either way. Ok, maybe not so strong line-up as at Bada Bing, but buy one of the chicas a $5-drink, and she will be giving you the lap-dance of your life right there at the bar. So much more mileage for your bucks.

2. No lap dance on offer: Yes, you heard right. I asked several times about lap-dance, but nobody seemed to understand. Isn't this what a strip club is all about? But no, not at Bada Bing, all they wanted was to take me to the rooms in the back and have sex with me. Ok, maybe it's me who is weird.

3. No showers: Even the worst club on the eastside offer shower opportunities for the gents in the rooms in the back, even if it's only cold water running out of hole in a wall. But at Bada Bing? Nope. Nada. It's horrible.

4. Aggressive / rude behaviour: You don't have to ask my name or where I am from. I accept that you leave if I'm not buying you one of those $10 lady drinks. I respect your impatience when I'm insisting on watching the girls making pole dances for at least 1 h before making my move. This club has done an effort in improving themselves, and I can understand your disappointment when I'm leaving the club without taking any girl to the back rooms. But to be yelled at and sweared at from a bunch of girls when leaving is not nice (Si! Entiendo un poco Espanol!)? That ended all my intentions for a return visit. Can I suggest management to invest a little bit more in the chica's education? I have never experienced this before, even at the filthiest bar on the eastside.

5. Ridiculous pricing structure: Yes, this is still my main issue with Bada Bing. I hear gents here are offered 30 mnts for 100 bucks, but I never heard anything less than $150/30 mnts or $250/1 h. Maybe it's negotiable? It does not matter that much. Why would I pay that kind of money if I can have same quality chica at Carolina's at $50? It does not make sense to me.

Conclusion:
Bada Bing has made a lot of improvements, but some major issues remain. As a strip club it still comes short of Platinum Club (SXM's by far premiere strip club). As a chica bar, it's overpriced and far too artificial for my taste. Spend $10 on a cab and get your ass over to the eastside of the Dutch part of the island, and you will have so much more fun for your bucks.

Runner-up: Petit Chateau

Next: An overview of the island's adult adventures (the rest of the chica bars and strip clubs).

[Shark16]

I have been wondering about how to write my report this year, and found that I will be using terms from sports and appoint the equivalent of MVP and MIP, I. E. MVC and MIC (where "C" is club).

Doing this I find that it is a bit contradictional to the very idea of going to SXM, which is being adventurous and openminded. While Campo at Curacao serves a purpose as being big and all at one place, the SXM clubs are spread around the island and being a bit different from each other. I therefore highly recomment any first time visitor to always visit as many clubs as possible to find what suits you best. My favorite club may be very different from yours.

Ranking clubs is pretty meaningless unless you know your own preferences and priorities. I know mine. My local playground is the German FKK scene where you basically meet EE girls for 50 E /30 mnts (including kissing, BBBJ / DATY / CFS), so when EE girls at a strip club at Maho (like Platinum Club) only can offer this on a per night basis at $1. 000 + another $250 to the club, it's just not attractive to me; to put it politely.

Apart from decent pricing structure, I would first of all like to have a goodlooking line-up, nice and relaxed attitude from the girls, and good standard services. Secondly, nice love nests (clean and big beds, air condition, shower facilities), good club ambience and favourable F / M ratios.

That leaves us with the remaining 8 chica bars on the eastside of the island. Those clubs have either a Colombiana or a Dominicana domination (only Crystal's seem to have more or less a 50/50 split). As much as I try to be openminded, the Colombianas win me over all the time:
- They are overall betterlooking for my taste. In particular face / eyes, but they also got the curves I love. This is cleavage and ass cheek heaven! (although sometimes sadly destroyed by too much silicone).
- But above all, and despite the fact that I have met Colombianas before, I am always awestruck about how sublime their seduction process is: The eyecontact, the blush, the smile, the first contact, her hands dancing all over you, her salsa moves, bumping her hips / legs/ ass cheeks into your groins untill you are SCREAMING for her ... Don't be shy. If you are too modest, she will put your hands around her inviting you to feel her up. Tons of smiles, hugs and kisses. It's a cultural thing, I guess. The latina thing of mixing romance and erotica.

That leaves us with 2 clubs: Carolina's and Hypnotic (fka. Seaman's).

Last time I visited the island (two years ago) I split my time 50/50 between the two clubs. Not this time. The difference was very clear. The MVC award goes to:

MVC (Most Valuable Club): Carolina's!

This was definetely my go-to club during my stay in December. As another gent here said (Lucky Strike?) I do not think I have seen such a goodlooking line-up at Carolina's in a long time. I was also content with the approach in the bar (just be friendly and nice and buy a chica a drink, and she will be all over you) and generally also the service standards (except for one incident all worked hard to please). If you have only time for one club during your visit, then Carolina's is your club IMHO.

A few stats about the line-up:
- Numbers: Around 35 chicas! I have never experienced such a large lineup at Carolina's before (just heard rare rumours about 40+ chicas).
- Very goodlooking line-up! Usually 5- 10 chicas have my interest, but this time I'd say 15+. Many girls with pretty faces (Spanish eyes).
- Etnicity: 2 Dominicanas, 1 Venezuela and around 32 Colombianas. It was Colombiana heaven! They come in all shapes and sizes. Predominantly light-skinned, but also 3- 4 black girls (VERY cute!). Only 1- 2 gorditas (big girls). 2- 4 genuine flacas (spinners / hard toned bodies), and the rest with the well-known curves some of us love so much.
- Age: Basically 25- 30 (Hypnotic a split between 25- 30 and even more 30+).
- A mix of all natural bodies, but unfortuneately also a lot of oversized sillies (boobs and ass). Not my thing, but you have to accept it on the island. The good thing is that that the surgeons in Colombia have improved somewhat (not those stonehard sillies you could experience a few years ago, but still not quite up to top standards).
- With one exception, all the chicas provided everything from good to great performance including the standard CBJ and MPOS, but also LFK / DFK and DATY, at standard pricing. Attention to the boys very often provided without asking. No star fish experiences. All the chicas worked hard to please. My stats are based on a sample of around 20 sessions with 10 chicas at this club alone. BBBJ and other extras often available. Sometimes for a minor fee, somtimes for free. You just need to try your luck and charm out there if these things are important to you.
- F / M ratios usually good. Except maybe at 10 pm to midnight.
- $50/20- 25 mnts, $100/1 h.
- TLN: $300- 400 + multa at $70. TLD: $200- 300 + multa at $70. Rates are negotiable in most cases.

Facilities:
- Opening hours: 11 am- 4 pm, and 8 pm- 2 am.
- Rooms looked clean and tidy (girls cleaning after session). All rooms got air condition, decent bed and separate bathroom with shower (only cold water, which is not an issue for me in tropical conditions). All girls I was with cleaned themselves after the session.
- Beer / Coca-Cola / Juice / Water: $2. Chica drink: $3- 6.
- Chinese restaurant next door with menu starting at less than $10. Inexpensive, tasty and spicy.

Runner-up: Hypnotic (fka Seaman's).

Next report: MIC (Most Improved Club). Hang in there for a surprise ... !

Back in early September, I posted this query after finding nothing in this thread's archives that shed any light on this question:

Sorry I missed your request. I did Christmas in SXM back in 09: http://www.internationalsexguide.inf...de%29&p=969272#post969272.

It is one of the few days that the chicas have off and many make it a beach day. Quite a few go to Orient. If you can get to the clubs on Christmas Eve you can usually arrange something. My plans for that year got rained out but still managed to find action Christmas night.

Pogo.

[Lakeside1]

Thanks Lakeside.

Have you ever taken the night deal, taking a girl back to hotel?

I got offered at BadaBing but honestly do not remember the nightly rate.

Last time, I tried all clubs but each girl for 30 mins. This time, I may be lazier and get the girls back to hotel however, I want to spend wisely hence want to learn the #full night prices from clubs.

And which one you guys will recommend.

Thanks,

Matt

I never did takeout from Bada Bing. I do recommend Jessie, Dominican with blond hair gives good BBBJ.

[John2526]

I'll be in SXM Feb 19-24 for my now-annual pilgrimage.

Meeting up with a wingman I met through ISG last year. Staying in P'Burg and sharing the cost of a rental car.

If anyone else from here wants to meet up for a beer at a club, etc. , let me know.

[Shark16]

Hey Ultra,
Oh man, I feel so sorry for you. First we guided you to a hotel which was not to your standards, and now this. On behalf of our community: We apologize!!

This is what we call taking one for the team. Mel? He knows all the "backdoors" on the island, so he is excused ... ! If I should add anything advisable for future readers trying this week next year, it would be to arrive one day earlier and get phone numbers to a couple of preferred chicas. Then ask if you could call them for a date on closed days. I am confident this will be the cure for any yearning during holiday season.

And today? Do I feel this to be the big day of vengeance? I am confident Erika, Vanessa, Nathalia (the tall one of the two), Eileen, Alejandra, Brenda, Luzero, Jessica and all the other pretty girls at Carolina's eventually will make you smile. And if you really need a hardbody: Stephanie or Nathalia (the petite one). Please ge gentle ....

On second thought, I am not feeling that sorry. Just envy!

Have fun!

-S16.

[Mel365]

Last year I was on island through Christmas and the clubs were open. The two that were closed I entered through the back door of both Carolina and Defiance and had my choice of all the chicas.

Mel.

Back in early September, I posted this query after finding nothing in this thread's archives that shed any light on this question:



You might wonder why I'm currently writing this report from my hotel room in SXM on Christmas night with a serious case of "blue balls. " Well, please read on if you are interested in the club scene here on Christmas day.

Back in early September, I inquired about the island on Christmas. I seem to recall someone whose handle started with the letter "M" and maybe ended with the numbers "365" or something like that saying something about the island hopping with chicas during this time. This would stand to reason since the girls all have 6 month working visas, so unlike other places, the girls in SXM are stuck on the island, unable to visit their families.

I also searched for reports in previous years about the state of the island around Christmas time but never found any reports here in the previous years around this time, so I had no choice but to come down to the island to see for myself. I was encouraged by the previous reply to my post that most of the clubs would be "jumping with new chicas" during this time.

Well, I can now report that the casa scene here in SXM on Christmas night is downright dismal.

I missed the 11 am to 4 pm casa scene as my afternoon flight arrival meant that I arrived at my hotel as the girl siestas were starting. After taking a nap, I ventured out with the intent of visiting Carolina's around 8 pm. Unfortunately, Carolina's was completely closed and shuttered up. I had nothing else to do, so I drove around to all the other casas. Here is what I found:

El Capitan = closed on Christmas night.

LE Petit Chapeau = closed on Christmas night.

Defiance = closed on Christmas night.

Sunset Retreat = closed on Christmas night.

That little club on Oyster Pond that I can't remember the name of = closed on Christmas night.

Now, Crystals (across the street from Carolina's) was indeed open at 8:10 pm. With low expectations, I took a peek inside to find a total of 3 chicas and about 15 local guys. None of three chicas looked remotely interesting to me so I moved on.

At Hypnotic (formerly Seaman's), their bar was closed, but the building next door was open with 6 chicas present on the sofa. So, no bar, but there were a few chicas looking for work. Unfortunately, none of these chicas looked particularly compelling to me, so I moved on.

By the time I made it up to Casa Blanca, I was encouraged by a few cars in the parking lot and loud music emanating from the building. Unfortunately, upon entry, I found a total of 1 chica working and about 10-12 local guys. That's right, 1 single working chica in the entire club!

From talking to folks, it sounds like the clubs will be open for normal operations tomorrow. I certainly hope so, because I'm currently suffering from a sever case of deadly sperm build up. I hope to find some relief for this possibly deadly condition tomorrow.

I don't quite remember who that poster was who advised me that the island would be hopping with chicas on Christmas but whoever that guy was, he definitely now owes me a drink -- if I haven't died from deadly sperm build up before then that is.

I remain hopeful for tomorrow. Otherwise, I may be stuck at the damn beach or something.

[UltraHappy]

Back in early September, I posted this query after finding nothing in this thread's archives that shed any light on this question:

Can anyone with experience comment on SXM during Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year's Eve, and New Years. Are the clubs even open on those days? Are the chicas still in full force?

Trying to decide where to make use of these days off.

Most of the clubs are jumping with new chicas.

You might wonder why I'm currently writing this report from my hotel room in SXM on Christmas night with a serious case of "blue balls. " Well, please read on if you are interested in the club scene here on Christmas day.

Back in early September, I inquired about the island on Christmas. I seem to recall someone whose handle started with the letter "M" and maybe ended with the numbers "365" or something like that saying something about the island hopping with chicas during this time. This would stand to reason since the girls all have 6 month working visas, so unlike other places, the girls in SXM are stuck on the island, unable to visit their families.

I also searched for reports in previous years about the state of the island around Christmas time but never found any reports here in the previous years around this time, so I had no choice but to come down to the island to see for myself. I was encouraged by the previous reply to my post that most of the clubs would be "jumping with new chicas" during this time.

Well, I can now report that the casa scene here in SXM on Christmas night is downright dismal.

I missed the 11 am to 4 pm casa scene as my afternoon flight arrival meant that I arrived at my hotel as the girl siestas were starting. After taking a nap, I ventured out with the intent of visiting Carolina's around 8 pm. Unfortunately, Carolina's was completely closed and shuttered up. I had nothing else to do, so I drove around to all the other casas. Here is what I found:

El Capitan = closed on Christmas night.

LE Petit Chapeau = closed on Christmas night.

Defiance = closed on Christmas night.

Sunset Retreat = closed on Christmas night.

That little club on Oyster Pond that I can't remember the name of = closed on Christmas night.

Now, Crystals (across the street from Carolina's) was indeed open at 8:10 pm. With low expectations, I took a peek inside to find a total of 3 chicas and about 15 local guys. None of three chicas looked remotely interesting to me so I moved on.

At Hypnotic (formerly Seaman's), their bar was closed, but the building next door was open with 6 chicas present on the sofa. So, no bar, but there were a few chicas looking for work. Unfortunately, none of these chicas looked particularly compelling to me, so I moved on.

By the time I made it up to Casa Blanca, I was encouraged by a few cars in the parking lot and loud music emanating from the building. Unfortunately, upon entry, I found a total of 1 chica working and about 10-12 local guys. That's right, 1 single working chica in the entire club!

From talking to folks, it sounds like the clubs will be open for normal operations tomorrow. I certainly hope so, because I'm currently suffering from a sever case of deadly sperm build up. I hope to find some relief for this possibly deadly condition tomorrow.

I don't quite remember who that poster was who advised me that the island would be hopping with chicas on Christmas but whoever that guy was, he definitely now owes me a drink -- if I haven't died from deadly sperm build up before then that is.

I remain hopeful for tomorrow. Otherwise, I may be stuck at the damn beach or something.
