Arrived Saturday for our (now) annual May vacation and once again am staying at the VDD on Flamands. Put the deposit down last summer, so been wringing our hands since the hurricane. Can report that the villa is back as good as ever. Inside you'd never know a hurricane blew out all the windows and filled the place with sand. Outside things have definitely changed. The water line is the same and am typing this as the waves are crashing on the beach as before. Close to the villas, most of the palms are gone as are the sea grapes. The Cheval Blanc is a mess. Construction is underway, but any opening seems a long way off. Oddly, the next several (very large) villas are fenced off and little to no activity appears to be taking place. The passageway at this end is also gone, so we've seen few if any people down there. The Langouste has faired well and doesn't look any different. Our first dinner there was wonderful, although no Benjamin to greet us. The remaining 4-5 villas are back and rented.
Could write more and (will) post some pictures, but 7pm reservations await us at Les Bananiers.
