Couple decent beach restaurants (one part of the hotel, one off site but about 5 minute walk back towards the airport that does BBQ. Cash only there as I recall). Lots of restaurants along the Main Street (just pass the bbq place) and marina area. Enjoy all the mega yachts.

Not all-inclusive. A few decent bar/restaurants on the left as you walk out the door, plus an Indian place on the other side of the street that is slow but pretty tasty.
If you walk down to the corner where Burger King is, you can catch a minibus to Maho Beach for $3 I think. Have exact change and pay when you get out. The reverse home is labeled Philipsburg. This will get you to the good beach bar where you can watch planes blow tourists over whilst enjoying a Mahi Mahi burger and Corona or Heineken.
Highly recommend this course of action.

Rent a car and take your main squeeze with you. There are plenty of gorgeous, deserted, clothing optional beaches on SXM. Easy to find you own private beach.
Skip Orient (??) as its overrun with massive Griswolds.
