cruisindoggie Posted July 27, 2008 #8 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I hope it re-opens before our January visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aloha43 Posted July 27, 2008 #9 Share Posted July 27, 2008 One can only hope that by the time I go back, it will be re-opened again. I was really looking forward to it. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighlandCruzer Posted July 27, 2008 #10 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Sad to hear that. From the article- "Sunset Beach Bar will not be shut down, however, according to information reaching this newspaper." At least some good news :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Interweb Posted July 27, 2008 #11 Share Posted July 27, 2008 The guy deserved it for upping the price of a bottle of Heineken from $1 to $4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiw0318 Posted July 27, 2008 #12 Share Posted July 27, 2008 The article says it will continue to operate. I, too, hope all is well before we get back there in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikkycat Posted July 27, 2008 #13 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I surely hope someone does have the beach bar open in January. I was just telling DH today that as long as I have a place to eat and drink while I watch the planes I will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joan_al Posted July 27, 2008 #16 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I wonder if my gift cards will be any good, when we get there in Sept:confused: Probably not. The Gov. will probably be operating it to recoup monies lost. (Just a guess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbadog Posted July 27, 2008 #17 Share Posted July 27, 2008 sounds like the hotel will take over,so it wont be destroyed,just redecorated:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCMtnBoys Posted July 27, 2008 #18 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Beach bar or not, I'm still going to Maho in September when our ship ports at St Maarten. I don't go for the beach, nor for the bar...I go for the planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachnative Posted July 27, 2008 #19 Share Posted July 27, 2008 We love that bar. I took one of my favorite photos from there...it is of our son standing on the beach watching the plane carrying his fiance fly in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcleaner Posted July 27, 2008 #20 Share Posted July 27, 2008 We're scheduled for a tour in November when in St. Maarten. Our 3rd time to this lovely island. We always make a stop at Maho Beach. There's just no where else like it. Such an exciting rush you get standing in the sand under those big planes coming in over your head. You can smell the fuel! Scary, but so exciting. Hope all is well and we can visit the bar for a cold drink. Love St. Maarten! Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST MARTIN GAL Posted July 27, 2008 #21 Share Posted July 27, 2008 This is one of the best places to watch those Jets come in:eek: We have always gone there at least once everytime we go to the Island. Hope when all is said and done it remains the same quaint Bar and Grill and not some upscale establishment. All things seem to change, some for the better and some not.

BTSEN5 Posted July 27, 2008 #22 Share Posted July 27, 2008 :D The newspaper article says it will remain open. I hope the word "remain" means that it will not actually close. We will be there next Thursday, and our day was going to be spent at Maho. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribbeanboy Posted July 28, 2008 Author #24 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Most probably (Sonesta) Maho beach will take care of the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
