Wow!! Talking about missing the point! The last thing St. Martin/Philipsburg needs is yet more trashy Americanization to take away from the quickly declining culture of the Dutch side and this great island. Fortunately, the French have a better grasp of development on their portion of the island. There are plenty of hotel portfolios out there that could bring a much more sophisticated and upscale property/clientele to Philipsburg and yes, still bring in jobs, opportunities and even higher economic traffic. I’ would hope that the person supporting this property has no idea what planet Hollywood hotels are and the clientele it attracts. Whatever the case may be, this premium ocean front property could have been developed by someone or group that would ad to the beauty of Philipsburg and the island instead of introducing more trashy American culture. It’ should be a rather simple concept to understand and supported by those who care about what direction Philipsburg and the island takes while redevelopment continues.
