SXM is Amazing. My first airline job was based out of there, and I absolutely fell in love with the island when I lived there.
Everything you really need is within a walking distance of the airport. However if you want to go other places on the island you can hail down a "bus" really just a small van crammed with seats. And it will drop you off anywhere for 2 bucks.
Everything is a bit expensive except for alcohol. A 40oz of Dominican Rum will run you about $3.
Depending on what airline you work for you could also jumpseat out of there to some of the out Islands. We used to jump down to St Kitts to a PGA quality golf course on the ocean. 18 holes with a cart was 50 bucks.
