I have enjoyed reading and looking at the photos that have been posted for the last week or two! This is so much fun, I love seeing the old buildings, the market, the water front and now the first car on the island is grand. Thanks to all of you who have been doing this and KEEP IT GOING!!!! This is the best group of people around! Lynne

Wow this is fun and very very sad! I have stood on the rock and photographed the Orient bay and beach area and it doesn't look anything like that now! Did all the development come in after hurricane Luis? which was 95 I think?

I agree with jimandi!! Common Sense and Common Courtesy...that goes any place and where in the world..to travel and to think you don't have to use common sense or common courtesy is just down right dumb! Thanks Bigdenx for reminding everyone how to use ones head for something other then a hat rack!

Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. I have found in my experience on the island when ever we dined somewhere where the price was lower the food wasn't as special. Enzo has a following for a reason... well worth making it a special meal! Enjoy! Lynne

Good food should never be cheap! If you want cheap go to KFC..and good food should always be enjoyed slowly and with good wine!

Hi Mari, I can only speak for our last visit in October 09 and I believe we could have used it. I know Didier the property manager was going to work out a deal if he could to use the pool and also be able to use the restaurant etc and put it on a tab so you wouldn't have to take money with you all the time. That meeting was for later in October and I don't know what the outcome was f

I just took a peek at one of my favorite webcams, and couldn't believe my eyes....how many cruise ships are in at the moment...what is traffic like..and I guess the retailers are happy if they are all spending but oh my gosh!!!! Since my husband and I don't come down this time of the year, we spend our two weeks in the fall I can't imagine what the crowds must be like right about n

I know all the talk today is about the floating Disneyland...too much for me! But I watched the youtube video about the La Bella Creole Hotel and what a shame! What happened to cause it to be abandoned like that? How do people just walk away from something like that? If someone wanted to restore it, how would you go about it? Who would you contact? It seems like a great location and a little love

We arrived home from our week at les Cottages de lonvilliers on the 17th. After reading all of the questions and reviews on this message board I was a little nervous about this place. We have been to St. Martin's several times before and know the island well and love it so we were confident if the place was not up to par we knew of other places we could stay. I want to let you all know the
