tonyh29 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 if you go say Hi to Emile for me Emile somebody i worked with at CSFB went there and hated it , but they were American and it was probably because they couldn't get a Starbucks or something ... I looked into going there a couple of years back but couldn't be arsed to go via Amsterdam or the US but it looked a nice Island if i recall from the web pages i looked at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 my mom went on her honeymoon, said it was pretty americanised with a few casinos subways etc, and very clean, not one of these places where you land and the operator says dont leave the hotel, she went via amsterdam with KLM and they were brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrees Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Pitched up on a cruise ship, but had limited time owing to bad weather on the way in. Looks lovely, lots of American/Canadian visitors. I know from colleagues that there are some pretty decent hotels there. Along with Barbados and Curacao it was one of the favourable destinations on that particular cruise. Better than Curacao though as no refineries!

drat01 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 Can seriously recommend this place Lots of American's there (Boston people excellent - NY / Jersey seem to get pissed after 2 Miller lites and become very much the image that we all have of them) Not your typical Caribbean island, but certainly one to visit at least once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drat01 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Weather was fantastic. Warm and Sunny nearly all of the time, but kept cooler by trade winds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
