Looks like someone forgot to grease the right palms... Possibly not enough grease or maybe none at all.

Oh my. How could someone invest is such a venture without the proper permits is beyond comprehension. Almost done and now it's brought up. Probably just like many of the shacks on Kim Sha and operations at other beaches. Sometimes you get caught and sometimes you can operate a long time. You keep going until you are forced to stop and and then you either deal with it or you walk away. Although, as big as this project was, it would be surprising no permits at all were applied for. But, then again, it is St. Maarten.

Perhaps they were not spending their own money but that of unsuspecting investors, if this is actually factual.

OK, that's bizarre, as much money as was supposedly going into that thing? And there was a story in the Daily Herald about the project in something like May of last year. If they didn't have a permit, why did Nature Foundation, or the government, for that matter, let the thing get this far along?? Handshake deal with a politician no longer in favor??

OK, that could well be. Will be interesting to see if there is another story coming out in a day or two.

Grand Opening was February 17th... https://www.instagram.com/p/BtEYcrfHwMG/The building permit was for one floor and it seems a VIP lounge was added making it two stories. Just my guess untill further info comes to light.

Grand opening was SUPPOSED to be February 17, you mean. That makes a bit more sense, if they exceeded the building permit, and that's what the issue is.

This is being blown out of proportion . What is? Explain if you want to.

It has been confirmed from the Department that there were no permits in place to construct on the beach and the company has been issued a stop and removal order. Sounds a tad serious to me:

And VROMI agreed and shut them down. It''s VROMI's job to police these things, not Nature Foundation. which obviously they don't do.

Th I was poste on facbook by Roxxy beach. Huh? What you copied and pasted may be 100% accurate but since it was posted by Roxxy Beach, one would not expect them to say much else.

And auto correct was responsible for the typos? I see you learned how to edit.
Usually at least 3 sides or more to every scenario.

Hey Ruralcarrier and SXMSCubaman, What are you 4? I don’t know what you issue is....or care, but really? Reading you two is like sitting in a first grade class. It’s painful. And please don’t start with the “he started it”. You both have something of interest to say...on occasion...so please be adults. Thank you

I really doubt that Roxy would post up such verifiable information unless it were true. With the SXM governments track record I'm believing the developer......... not that it matters. I agree! It is their Facebook page and not someone commenting. I think the news was fake and they could have investigated it further before misleading people about Roxxy Beach Bar.
