we'll be staying in the same unit (again) in a couple of weeks...this will be our first return to the island since Irma...even though we don't really go to any of the restaurants/bars/places in Maho (although we look forward to checking out Hole in the Wall this trip), we like staying there for the ambiance...we also don't go to pools when on islands, so pools are a non-issue....and since we always have a car, and prefer to visit a variety of beaches, not being directly on the beach is also not that important....issues with noise have never even crossed our minds during ours stays at LT
