Anyone know when/if the Ritz St. Thomas is reopening?
ETA: Seems like they're closed until Jan 2019

No, they won't. (After speaking to concierge and head chef.)
Maybe you were not speaking their language.

not gonna be higher than 6. The Grand hyatt in the Bahamas is a 5. I doubt it would be lower than 5 so it's either gonna be a 5 or a 6.

I’m trying to plan a 3 night vacation and I’m unsure if it should be Bermuda at the Fairmont or Cayman Islands. I’m cayman I don’t think I can shell out enough pints for the Ritz so I would probably stay at the Westin.
Cayman seems to have more to do but I really just want a nice resort to chill in.
Any input? Planning for Memorial Day week.
Thanks

Anybody been to Grand Cayman? Thinking of going for part of Yeshiva week. Supposedly there's a pop-up restaurant there for that week. Has anyone tried it?

I believe @CS91 has a TR from there. And I wouldn't be surprised if @mgoldhammer18 has since he seems to be the king of the Carribean.

Deciding between NAS and CUN from NYC - Sun-Wed trip.

CUN is further but has the perk of kosher food, but the con of being more restricted bringing food in.

Is one of them significantly nicer in Jan? If I went to NAS, it would be to the Hyatt Baha Mar.
