Ad in NY Times travel section - Mullet Bay - $25 per day, American Plan. Traveled in June 1971. Fell in love with St. Maarten and Mullet Bay and bought condo in Mullet Bay two years later and then THE hurricane happened. Also timeshare owners at Royal Islander since 1990. Covid was the only thing that kept us away. First trip - just my husband and I. Three children and many years later we all still love our vacations at The Royal Islander, this year in November. Will return in April '24 - myself, three children and spouses, six grandchildren, one married, her husband and my great grandson. Amazing !!
