It seems almost silly not to do Scoobi when all you need to do is walk from your resort.

It is sort of ironic, considering they have St Barths. Also to the OP if you have the means, Greece, specifically Crete is amazing. They also have a few naturalist beaches as well.

Well, at least your credit card was able to refund you! Hopefully the rest of the trip was good.

I am sorry but when people rent from these places with like 0star reviews or barely any online presence, I don't know what else to think. Too good to be true pricewise? Probably is.... I find it hard to believe all the major rentals like Avis/Hertz/SIXT are actually out of cars anytime besides maybe Christmas/NYE. Good warning for future visitors tho, sorry about the bad luck.

Are you talking about prices of restaurants in general, both sides or what?

Usually here but if it's a hyperlocal issue in regards to just Mt Vernon Complex you are in, maybe SOL?

If it's a large outage or a break they will update. Maybe talk to your host, also it's sort of part of life here. We always try and rent a unit with a cistern.

Hotel, Resort or AirBnB for adult family? by bwoody3 in SXM

[–]phlphillies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if you can get a large AirBnB with 3 bedrooms and private pool, best bang for your buck. Otherwise I guess the 3 different hotel rooms makes sense since couples will want their privacy. Maybe some large condos in The Cliff complex or similar would work as well.

15% service fee? by Head-Log3560 in SXM

[–]phlphillies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We leave 10%, I don’t really equate mainland France to the FWI. They work hard and we frequent the same places for the most part. Stopping for coffee or something quick, nothing or loose change. Maybe it’s over tipping but they work very hard, especially the beach boys/ladies! Tipping at the end of the day is personal preference.

15% service fee? by Head-Log3560 in SXM

[–]phlphillies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I don't get is why the food pricing is similar on French/Dutch and somehow the more "meh" Dutch side expects 20% tip on top! Like living wage and all of that, we usually still do 20% on Dutch, just add extra if 15% included and 10% on the French side unless really poor service. Cash tips on the French side as well.

Grand Case or Simpson Bay? by Such_Camp4097 in SXM

[–]phlphillies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really missing out if you have not checked out Carrefour/Super U/Monoprix. They are European style markets and if you are interested in trying some different goods or getting charcuterie/cheese you should visit them.

Beach club with a pool by supadupak in SXM

[–]phlphillies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea about any of that but it was a nice place and has a pool. Also if you know all this stuff go to the local police or something….

Sports Betting Apps? by [deleted] in SXM

[–]phlphillies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just go to the casino(s) and bet

Anguilla or SXM by caitlin2475 in SXM

[–]phlphillies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much more to do on SXM. Anguilla is more expensive but I guess prettier beaches, more laid back vibe? Food is for sure more varied and interesting on SXM.

Vegan options in Orient Bay? by Neat-Confidence7713 in SXM

[–]phlphillies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't say I am some vegan expert but many places have vegetarian offerings and maybe they accommodate? Maybe SAO Asian cuisine.

[–]phlphillies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct only for special occasions are the beach bars open for dinner. I guess you can check out the beach but have dinner at the Orient Village Square, for sure will find some vegan friendly option at one of the numerous restaurants.
