Sale & Pepe
A wonderful Sicilian place to dine in Simpson Bay Now, I am almost at a loss for words, so very not like me. Sale & Pepe is gorgeous. Admittedly, it has been my longtime favourite Italian/Sicilian restaurant on the island but now it is not just the food, service and a nice ambiance that calls…
Azul – Sonesta, Maho
Chefs Night – dining supremely. Chefs Night event returns for the 4th time to the all-inclusive, adults-only Sonesta Ocean Point Resort.

This is Roxxy Beach
A new, exciting and very swish restaurant has opened in Simpson Bay. Built after Irma, on a rather barren piece of land, on Kimsha Beach.

Ladies Lunch on Enigma
Honestly, we do still have the best fun as we get older! The SXM Yacht Club had a lunch outing for the ladies on one of the best day-sailing catamarans on island. Enigma is run by Captain Neil. He happens to serve one of the very best on-board lunches. We eagerly headed out to enjoy…
Sale & Pepe
Yes, we did! We went for a wonderful early supper at Sale & Pepe after seeing posts of octopus. I can’t resist. We were there as the darkness fell and got a table inside – it was as chilly inside as outside – the Caribbean does have a “chilly” season!!! We had the wee sprogs…
