I agree with GaKaye, when we were there last year it was a total gong show. The tourists now call it Airplane Beach, not Maho Beach. We met a woman there from the states and she said she would never come back to SXM. I asked her why, and she thought all beaches were packed like Maho. I said no, you have to try the other beaches that are beautiful. It's the cruise ships that now offer excursions to Maho Beach. That never happened a few years ago.
