St. Maarten (The southern Dutch side)

[DickBeachman]

Mel, thanks.

The Westin doesn't have 2 BR suites. La Semana looks good-2 BR start at $1,200/ night. (Ouch-but my good brother rolls like thatlol).

Di you try La Semana or the Westin?

Mel.

We'll be in SXM from Aug. 4-8. My point is strictly 5-star accommodations and TLD / TLN, so we'll rent a car & shuttle chicas back & forth. We like suites with 2 separate bedrooms & baths. None of the 5-star resorts I've looked on hotels.com and other travel sites fit our needs, though I've found a few vacation homes on Trip Advisor-waiting for owner contact there.

If money is not a problem then forget St Martin. Take a couple of large suites at the Ritz in Aruba. Some even adjoin. Better variety of women for TLD and TLN and great restaurants and much better infrastructure. Supermarkets and liquor stores are better than in most American cities and getting around is simpler and easier and the beach is just short of spectacular.

Hi all,

I have a week of vacation that I need to take and I have floated the idea of doing 1/2 in SXM and 1/2 in Curacao. Has anyone done something like this? I looked up the flights and the only direct flight I found was with Insel for around $300. Any other alternatives that someone can suggest? Also, anyone on SXM right now? What are the numbers like at Carolinas and Hypnotic? I worry that they could be very slow given that it's low season.

Thanks!

I am going to assume that you have never been to either of these places.

SXM is better in most regards. Slightly better tourism infrastructure (better roads and hotels). More direct flights to more US cities. Better food. Daytime activities, like hiking and diving, are about the same. The only reason to add curacao is for more punting variety -- namely, to check out Campo. If you have never been, its good to go, just to scratch that itch. Its been on the slide in recent years, and I have a feeling that you will be disappointed, but if you don't go at least once, you will always be wondering. Just keep your expectations in check. Though $300 seems like a lot for a one way ticket.

But like you said, this IS the summertime. The ladies at SXM and Curacao do not live there. They fly in from Colombia. Since this is slow season, there will be less people there. Also, you may have a hard time filling up a week with stuff to do. I don't know how you like to spend your time, but if all you are doing is hanging by the pool every day, you'll get bored real fast. These islands don't have interesting cuisines or historical sites. Its pretty boring. I usually go to SXM or Curacao for long weekends, not entire weeks. And I dive and windsurf.

If you have never been to the DR North Coast, and can get into black women, I think that would be a better option. Those girls live there, so there is no down season. Also, I feel that the daytime activities and tourist things to see are slightly better. Its also cheaper. The food isn't any better, though. Except for Jamaica, food in the Carribean generally sucks everywhere.

And another thing, those little flights between Carribean islands can be unreliable. I once had a flight from Curacao to Bonaire just flat out cancelled because there were only a few passengers on the flight.. If you must take one of these flights, take the first flight out in the morning. The afternoon flights have less people, and tend to get cancelled.

Had you looked at Winair?

I would stick with one island or the other if you only have a week. There are direct flights from the USA to Curacao.

Otherwise you will be spending a lot of your vacation on Airplanes.

Had you thought about Campo in Curacao?

Wonderful hotels and Disneyland of chicas at Campo.

While I haven't been to Tijuana for quite a few years I do follow the board and it seems like the sleezyness and possible danger is still there. My first mongering trip to SXM was last fall and in a few months I will be now making my third trip. IMHO there is no comparison. I live just a few hours away from Tijuana but being spoiled by SXM wouldn't even consider going to Tijuana.

SXM is very safe and laid back and many activities to keep you entertained when not with chicas. If you are looking for some really fine Colombianas check out Carolinas or Hypnotique. There are several other casas featuring mostly girls from the Dominican Republic.

Suggest you RTFF going back over the last year or so and you will get a good idea what to expect and where you might start your adventure. Take your time getting to know the chicas a bit and you will increase your chances for a good session. Have fun. I doubt you would not have any regrets choosing SXM over Tijuana.

Be.

Mel.

First, my head is bowed to Mel365, Pogostick, and many 'regulars' that make this forum one of the best on the entire ISG site.

I go solo to West Africa (Ghana, pre-Ebola Sierra Leone) and have been to SXM (also solo) twice. I just returned from an EPIC 4-day trip to Costa Rica as wingman to my high-rolling point man (field report underway); we reunited 40 years after going to college together.

We'll be in SXM from Aug. 4-8. My point is strictly 5-star accommodations and TLD / TLN, so we'll rent a car & shuttle chicas back & forth. We like suites with 2 separate bedrooms & baths. None of the 5-star resorts I've looked on hotels.com and other travel sites fit our needs, though I've found a few vacation homes on Trip Advisor-waiting for owner contact there.

Question to Mel & any 'seniors': Do you have any direct connections to folks who may have such accommodations? If so, please post or PM me if you don't want to share the contact on the forum.

Much respect to you all for the priceless info. Mel, we'll try to work in a quick visit between chicas if you're available.

Have a trip planned to Tijuana in three weeks, but an opportunity to visit SXM has presented itself. Any recommendations from any of you who have been to both?

Definitely agree with Barkey. SXM is WAAYY better than Tijuana.

Tijuana is a border town, and crime is a big problem. Mexico is the world capital of the illegal drug trade now. It may not be in your face, but why bother? The only advantage that Tijuana has is the food.

Otherwise, SXM is a safe tropical paradise, with lots to do in the daytime. Except for the food, everything else is cheaper. And I mean everything. Tijuana's gets alot of action and discussion because so many Southern Californians can just drive there. But flying there from further away as a travel destination is lunacy.

Any recent reports from SXM? Was going to be there this weekend but had to postpone my trip, so now I'm thinking about next weekend since for some of us it's a long weekend.

Hi guys,

If someone is in SXM and go to Carolinas Club, please ask for Paulina and her cousin Carolina. Both girls are hot, they are suppose to be working in Carolinas since last may. Please let me know if both are still working in SXM. Enjoy your mongering.

[Xanadont]

Thanks for your replies, guys.

... Did you test her attitude out in the bar, with a drink, prior to going back? If your Spanish is limited, and she speaks little english, this becomes a problem some times.

No I didn't, but I will ALWAYS do that from now on. Prior to Anna Maria, I had been with several other gorgeous, perfect-10 ladies and, in those cases, the sex had been excellent. My conclusion had been that looks don't really matter, so I just walked up to Anna Maria and propositioned her straight-away. Given my lack of Spanish, it just didn't seem to make sense wasting time on small talk. But at that time, I hadn't found this thread; and there have been many posts in this thread recommending that you converse with the lady for a while before deciding to party. I now realize why this is so important, whether my Spanish sucks or not. If the lady is upbeat and enthusiastic, she's usually also good in bed, regardless of how she looks.

Also, I've set a goal to learn more Spanish before the next time I go to the Caribbean. I've noticed from my travels around the world that learning as few as a couple dozen common phrases in someone else's language really helps a lot.

I usually shy away from chica with 10 looks, they are usually a 5 in the cama. A good 8 usually outperforms a 10.

Mel.

Two of my best experiences in the room were with less than perfect lookers. A plump little gordita in Aruba with a cute face, maybe a 6 overall, gave me some of the sweetest loving I've had in the islands. And at Campo, I was grabbed by an older chica that would barely be a 3 on a good day. She pointed to all the good looking girls and then said. "Look at me. I'm fat, I'm not pretty like them and I have small tits. But I make more money than them because I am the best fuck you will ever have. " I took the bait and ended up spending over two hours with her having the wildest PSE I've ever had.

Pogo.
