The Big Booper Posted July 28, 2008 #28 Share Posted July 28, 2008 The article said that the dispute involved the current operator of the bar and was related to large unpaid back taxes and improper behavior of the operator as well as unauthorized improvements. It seemed to imply that the place will remain open under new management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakedoc Posted July 28, 2008 #29 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hmmm- I'm thinking about retiring in the next few years-What a great place to semi retire and work the bar. I wonder if they have any restrictions on owning/ working a buisiness from off the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxsonbrownie Posted July 28, 2008 #32 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Even if the Sunset Beach Bar doesn't re-open anytime soon, there is another bar at the opposite end of the beach, closer to the resort,called Guys Driftwood Beach Bar. Hubby and I were just there in April, had a great time! The girl here at this bar was making me a frozen mango drink that was out of this world! You can see just past her in the picture, the beach looking down towards Sunset beach bar.Double click on the pic to make it bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gon2hwe Posted August 6, 2008 #36 Share Posted August 6, 2008 He was probably charging $10.00 for people to use the bathroom. Everywhere we went in St. Martin you had to pay to use the restroom. And they were all nasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBookHePays Posted October 6, 2008 #39 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I understand that the Sunset has re-opened under new ownership. Anyone been since the new owners took over? Yes, we were there on September 25th... We were never there before, but the beer was cold, the burgers were good, and the planes were still LOW!

IBookHePays Posted October 6, 2008 #40 Share Posted October 6, 2008 How close to the pier is this beach. Can you take a taxi or walk? About how much by taxi. We rented a jeep on St. Martin, so I don't know about cabfare. It was about a 45 minutes drive from Maho Bay to the Pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator0178 Posted October 6, 2008 #42 Share Posted October 6, 2008 We were there in September. Its open and running. I couldn't tell you the name of it, but we were there Sept 18th and there was a bar on the beach at the end of the runway where you watch the planes. It was quite busy. It was nice.

IBookHePays Posted October 6, 2008 #45 Share Posted October 6, 2008 We rented from Hertz, and as the other posters said, it's a quick walk at the end of the pier to the rental window. It was $96 total for the day. The jeep was a fun way to go around the island. We stopped at a couple beaches, and in Marigot before Maho Bay. The big planes take off in the afternoon, starting at 12:50. Make sure you have a map There is more than "one road around the island" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
