bling19572010 Posted February 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I want to take my parents, who are in their late 70's, to Maho beach to watch the planes. I would like to know if either of the restaurants/bars would be appropriate for my elderly parents. Also, is the Driftwood Boat Bar or the Sunset Bar wheelchair accessible? Which bar would be the most suitable for watching the planes? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daycare Provider Posted February 20, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Sunset Beach Bar and Driftwood Bar have many photos on Trip Advisor..you should take a look. Keep in mind Sunset offers free drinks to all topless women...we were there in June for 9 days.. Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karysa Posted February 20, 2013 #5 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Thank you for the info....Sunset doesn't sound like a place where I would want to take my parents! I have seen one topless lady in 20 visits or more just FYI and that was over 5 years ago now. There are so many people there when ships are in port that they will not notice if one or two ladies are topless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daycare Provider Posted February 20, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 20, 2013 They still have to sit at the bar though, correct? When we were there in June...there was probably 10 ladies all together..one gal laid out on the beach with us...a couple were at the bar and the rest were sitting at tables enjoying appetizers and drinks.

It's located in the sand and I don't think it would be a great place for your parents. Pretty "rustic" which is what we like, but a little rough around the edges. Sunset would definitely be the place. Very touristy, and while they do offer drinks to topless women, it's not "sleazy" there at all. Two of us women wanted to drink topless, but they made us stay right at the bar. There were people of all ages from the ships there including kids and plenty of places to sit in the shade and watch the planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsfuzzmo Posted February 25, 2013 #12 Share Posted February 25, 2013 hmm, not sure, but I would say yes. It is more of a "restaurant" with decks and different seating areas. I can't guarantee it's got "accessible" restrooms or anything, but I'd say you could push a wheel chair somewhere there to grab a bite and watch the planes. If you want a good view, get there early and pick your seat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor Posted February 26, 2013 #13 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I found an old picture of Driftwood in my PhotoBucket, which shows that it is/was easily accessible by walker or wheelchair. That's how I labeled the photo when I uploaded it. The only problem that I see is that it only has a Porta-Potty. (click) More photos in that album. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSSMH Posted February 26, 2013 #14 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I was at Driftwood two weeks ago, and I think it would be accessible. There is a little concrete ledge/wall, and the beach is behind that. In front, where the table are, was concrete not sand. Parking is right out front. There were 2 folks 75+ in our group and we had no problems. Sat at a table near the beach, under an umbrella, for most of the afternoon. Drank some cheap beer and had some munches. It was great. The only thing lacking is the bathroom facilities - it's just a port-a-potty type affair. I walked down to Sunset to use the washroom and it was BUSY - very, very crowded and noisy.

janwillem111 Posted February 27, 2013 #15 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Sunset is the place for you and the toilets are wheelchair accessible. the top deck or the lower deck is also wheelchair friendly, but the best will be top deck for the views, have a great day and as said before if there is somebody topless at the bar it will be 1 with 500 people around absolute no problem. enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhlaw Posted February 28, 2013 #16 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Are the lounges on the beach at Maho for free or do you need to pay for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
