Golden Rock Resort, the upscale, contemporary lifestyle property, opened in 2021 on the remote Dutch Caribbean island of Sint Eustatius. Compared to many other Caribbean islands, Sint Eustatius (aka Statia) is not known for mass tourism.

With no casinos and no non-stop flights, most visitors to Sint Eustatius come for the hiking trails, dive sites and a few small museums. The island’s capital, Oranjestad, has only 1,000 residents, not be confused with Oranjestad, Aruba’s capital, with its population of 29,000.
The hip, beautifully designed 32-room Golden Rock Resort has already attracted new interest in visiting this unspoiled island. With its signature restaurant, Breeze, and miles of unobstructed views of the ocean and the neighboring islands of St. Kitts and St.Martin/Sint Maarten, it may not be an unknown Caribbean gem much longer.

Located at the base of a green, dormant volcano known as The Quill, the resort and Breeze, named after the refreshing breezes on the restaurant’s terrace, is the first phase of Golden Rock’s development. The property will will add 28 villas and 17 lodges by late summer.
Breeze offers 164 seats and is open daily for all meals and late-night drinks. Breeze’s chef, Matthias Fischer, encourages resort guests to be daring with their palette, as he created menus highlighting delicacies like Caribbean-spiced filet mignon with sun-choke puree, seasoned vegetables in a tamarind demi-glace; curry chicken Napoleon with peanut butter sauce; Caribbean bouillabaisse with mussels, clams, tuna, prawns and lobster in a tomato lobster broth; and tiger shrimp brochette with sun-dried tomato and vegetable julienne with fettuccine pasta in a red bell pepper coconut sauce.

The resort’s vegetable garden supplies an abundance of fresh ingredients to create a wide variety of flavorful dining and excellent cocktails. Drinks with names like Statia Flower, Golden Rock Mojito and JB’s Jewel are offered at the bar.

Is it worth it? The airplane is the same, we’re flying the same route, we will all get there at the same time. And yet some passengers paid considerably more for their seats than others. On an international flight, a business-class ticket can cost four times more than economy, and first class may be 10 times more. If you’re budget-conscious, it’s a no-brainer: Why break the bank for a journey that will only last a few hours? But for regular flyers, business travelers, celebrities and many others, the advantages of a premium ticket outweigh the cost.

Oct 28, 2024All Eyes Turn to Houston for Cultural Diversity, Great Eats and Economic Heat
When I first moved to Houston from Boston, I knew little about Texas’ largest city beyond Astros fandom and petroleum companies. To my delight and surprise, I was quickly smitten with Bayou City. After living through the merciless winters in New England, I rejoiced in being able to kick back on my patio in a t-shirt in February. Houston’s famous hospitality perhaps stems from its reputation as America’s most diverse city, a magnet for transplants ranging from Middle America to the most far-flung corners of the globe. And, of course, all that wonderful food doesn’t hurt — craft barbecue, mom-n-pop Vietnamese restaurants and fine dining rivaling New York or Los Angeles. I won’tshift my loyalty from the Sox to the ’Stros any time soon, but I’m darn-tootin’ glad to be in Texas.
