First of all, my review is NOT a reflection of all the beautiful people of St Maarten or the stunning Island itself.
A group of 15 of us all went to Moho Beach this past Saturday. According to their webpage, the beach and amenities are open til 6pm. I arrived at 2pm. My daughter had paid $15 for one chair prior to my arrival. We wanted to rent 3 more and were told the staff member was gone for the day and we could NOT rent any more chairs. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!! We weren’t the only group that wanted to rent chairs either!!!! So when we found some abandoned chairs, we put our bags on them. I have a video of the stafff member who had allegedly left for the day and another more rude staff member wanting to take the chairs and the one my daughter had paid for!!!! The staff member that showed up 2nd was in charge and began laughing at us when I decided to film them.
AGAIN!!!!! The majority of islanders are extremely polite, kind and friendly. But then you run into those who want to go home and decide to close up shop when they so desire!!!! THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR!!!! To not take rental $ for chairs the tourists want to use is a slap in the face!!!!
We pay a lot of $ to come visit. I don’t expect any special treatment and am not looking to see what I can get for free either. When we were denied chairs, my husband who has leukemia and my BIL left. They couldn’t sit in the sand. This broke my heart!!! This incident was the only thing that caused us to become upset in our week long stay here.
