"The property was ok compared to other resorts we have been too. We are very thankful we did NOT do the all inclusive package as the restaurant options were lackluster at best. Mix the rooftop bar was a great experience, best spot at the resort, just check the weather forecast before booking! The bartenders at gizmos down by the beach will charge you full price for virgin pina coladas and strawberry daiquiris for the kids, didn’t realize this until the last day when I asked someone at the pull bar, so beware. Also if you don’t do the all inclusive package I feel as though your service level will suffer at bars too. It seems like they need to hire additional folks to work at the restaurants on property as well, service was very slow when we did grab some small options to share before venturing out for dinner elsewhere. The beach area was nice, especially if you get out there early and get some good chairs and umbrella. No beach service, so don’t expect anyone to come around and take your drink or food order like most other resorts we’ve been to. Would definitely come back to SXM, but would stay somewhere else for sure. "
