Cannot explain why the pic shows the flaps/slats retracted. I have thirty plus years experience into GEO with the predecessor airline to Caribbean and we always landed with max flaps for the type due to the challenging approach, normally bad weather and short and slippery runway. If I remember the 737 if you did not get full weight on wheels you can only get partial spoilers and idle reverse. Maybe when the over run was inevitable they retracted them.
