St. Maarten (The southern Dutch side)

[LookingToSwing4]

I seem to have seen one before, but have been searching this morning, but cannot seem to locate.

[SXMmonger]

I can't wait to hit Carolinas and Hypnotic. Looking forward to providing a full report! There hasn't been any on this forum in a while!

[SXMmonger]

I will be arriving today. I will do a club tour and keep you guys posted as to what is going on. If any of you have any tips let me know.

Thanks!

How was the level of talent?

Not sure how long you're going to be on island. But during quiet time. 4 to 8 pm Sunset Retreat has a (at least they used to) happy hour in the side bar with a DJ spinning great Latin tunes. It's a local crowd, with the chicas sitting around in chairs. It's a great way to check out the talent and you can even grab one and give her a twirl on the floor! You may feel out of place, but everyone is cool, and they actually get a kick out of a new face that has made the walk up the side hill. Beers are 2 bucks. Totally relaxed atmosphere, again with some great music. Suppose you could take the chica back to her room if you really connected. Seemed to me this was their chilling time, before another quick nap, and then getting ready to come out into the club at 10 pm It will be light out and you can park in the lot across the street and just walk up the steep hill on your right. You'll probably hear the music. It's off the beaten path, but I've pounded some serious beers here and had a blast lighting up the dance floor with some cute Latinas! Again, you may feel a bit out of place, but if you don't act like a jerk, you'll be warmly accepted.

Excellent post. I, too, have had some really fun times there mixing it up with the chicas. The "happy hour" is a great time to go to avoid the spookiness of the parking situation at night. A mix of DR and Colombian girls. You can have fun in all the clubs. Just have to venture out a little farther, carry a bit more alpha dog attitude to deal with the DR chicas, and approach, approach, approach. Good things follow.

Great! I will be back in SXM January 9th-16th. Would love to hear about it!

Just an update on the visa situation. I can confirm first-hand that Columbians do not require a visa to enter St Martin. They only require proof of a return flight and proof of where they are staying on the island.

I have made this club a stop on my last few times down to St. Maarten. The afternoon used to have some girls hanging in the bar, but this year, only one. But this place cranks late in the evening and now until morning. If I go in the evening, it will be early. The bar area is great and it has some great rooms. I have only ever met DR girls here. As my Spanish has improved, I have a much better comfort level going there. A few years ago, a girl named Kendra was in the house. A tall, statuesque, very attractive woman. She quoted me $250 for take out. No bar fine. My poor Spanish at that time made me opt just for the room, which was fantastic. No hint of restrictions on the girls when I visited. But then again, I thought the whole issue of owners withholding passports had been resolved several years ago.

Well, when Mel takes point, and addresses your post. I have to follow suit. And I'm sure there will be a ton of veteran SXM visitors that aren't far behind, if they haven't gotten in front of me already. Not sure which St. Maarten you visited. But three quick points.

1) Never came across any chica at Casa Blanca that wasn't a Dominicana. And I stay right in Oyster Pond, and have been visiting SXM for a long time.

2) Maybe the old broads you came across at the clubs you mentioned were the morning cleaning ladies or the older bartender at Crystals, so either you went before club opening or quite frankly, I don't know what you're talking about.

3) Carolina's is the mecca of Colombiana chica talent on SXM, with Hypnotize following as a close second.

Don't mean to be piling on. But you're post kind of comes out of left field and in now way is reflective of the true landscape of SXM, with the exception of the Platinum Room. If I and the other forum members could find the same talent anywhere else for free, than SXM, then I guess we wouldn't be going there and this board would be blank now, wouldn't it? LOL!

I went for a week a year ago and no I don't claim to be an "expert. " We went out to the clubs three times during the week. Just reporting what I found. Most of the girls at CB were Dominicanas but they had two black girls from the islands, one I talked to and said she was from Jamaica, and there was at least one Colombian girl I talked to there. Maybe Carolina's was having a bad day or we got there too early. If you guys enjoy the scene there, great. I am going back soon but coming with my GF so mongering will be minimal if any, last time I went with a buddy. Like I said I was on the forum for years, had over 2 K posts and deleted my login. If I go back I will report again, I really don't have anything else to say about my experience there at this point.

Rumor has it that the son was killed in the parking lot by a family member. It seems that he was running the bar, but was also selling drugs on the side and did not include the family.

Just a rumor.

[Barkey]

Wow. That is not good news at all. Although I've only stopped in there to have a couple of beers and just observe the talent I did like the atmosphere of the place and the wide open space. I hope that it doesn't have to close or, if it must, for not too long.

Is there any specific information on the "human trafficing'? No visas, [CodeWord902]??

Since my personal preference are the Colombianas most of my time has been spent in Carolinas or Hypnotique. It seems to me, at least, that the girls there all seem to have the proper documentation. Any idea if either or these casas are under any extraordinary surveillance as a result of this?

[ClubTed]

After giving further consideration to the plight of Casa Blanca and the alleged charges. It occurred to me that TLD or TLN, never seemed to be offered from this club. I stay on the French side, close to Captain Oliver's and have tried to get afternoon takeout, but have never had any interest on the part of the chica. Technically, they'd be leaving one country and be entering another, although there are no formalities with crossing into the French side, as we all know. However, I've taken chicas from Crystals and Hypnotique back to my villa and they've got a bit nervous crossing over to the French side, because they didn't have their passport with them. I've told them not to worry and it's no big deal. The Gendermanes actually stay at a hotel next to the property I stay at and I Bon Jour them every day when I take my walk and they're heading to work in Orleans. Although I suppose if I got stopped for some formality and ID was asked for and the chica didn't have anything, there could be a minor problem, but hopefully resolved by an honest explanation.

So wondering if the chicas at Casa Blanca, either have they're passports taken from them, or none at all (I. E. Human smuggling as alleged), since take-out there is rare. And the place does seem to be kind of a prison on the hill, and now that it's open until 5 am On weekends, and pretty late during the week as well. Later than say Carolina's. The only thing for the chicas to do is sleep all day.

The only times I've seen chicas leave have been in groups of 3 or 4, which looks like a pre-arranged trip to P'burg by the club, for shopping and banking.

Not many posters visit this club, since it's the most remote of all of them. Even past Sunset Retreat, and the last stop on the "Magical Mystery Tour" of SXM before the French border. I'd be interested to hear from others as to their thoughts about the Casa Blanca situation.

[ClubTed]

The news article validates that the chicas in this club all hail from the Dominican Republic. Or at least 95% of them do. This place has changed as of late. In the past, you'd go there in the afternoon and get mobbed. Now it's dead and doesn't get cranking until late at night. They stay open until around 5 am On the weekends. Have gone up on drink prices, and I think have instituted a cover charge on weekends as well. I still like the layout of the place and they have a restaurant in the back that's pretty good. The place is huge with lots of potential. Seems to be a constant work in progress though. Think the owners son got shot in the parking lot and killed some time ago. Mel can confirm. When SXM pulls in the Dutch police from the motherland, this is serious stuff. I stay in Oyster Pond and this place is a stone's throw away. Would be a shame to see it bite the dust, but the allegations and charges are pretty serious. However, the beauty of SXM, is that if one place shuts down, you've got 7 others to chose from. There was a period where Defiance was boarded up, and things didn't skip a beat. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Yesterday it was open and the girls told me that effectively, the boss.

Had problems with the justice, they don't know if the club would be close in a few days.
