I'm hearing that town is pretty well packed right now. I know LTU was quite full for dinner this past week. Many hotels on the West End booked solid. Noticing a lot of South American tourists this year! One of the "benefits" of having competing island flattened by hurricanes.
I haven't been to the beach this past week but word is its pretty well crowded too. I might wait until after this coming week to go, I prefer the beach less "active and noisy".
Noticing a lot of tourist faces in my neighborhood too, tells me the Cliff Hotel, Hide Awhile and the various AirBnBs around here are busy. Saw a huge group of young people walking down Hylton Ave. while waiting for my taxi yesterday, no doubt coming from Jus Natural - good for them! And when I was dropped off about an hour later another group was walking down as well.
So yeah, the off season is always slow, sometimes slower than other times. But this week seems to be rocking and I'm glad for my friends who own businesses here...its been a long while since Christmas/New Years has been this jamming.
