We have been going to sxm for almost 30 years. We have typically stayed at our timeshares but have also stayed at different hotels and villas over the years. This year we decided not to use our timeshare due to our dissatisfaction with it. I found an unbelievable deal for Maho so decided to have a new experience. We figured even if we just use it for breakfast and lunch and cocktails it'll be worth it. We figure if the food isn't good we can try some local restaurants, although some of the reviews on food have been good. We still haven't decided whether or not if we'll get a car. Looking forward to a new experience. At least we'll have access to a pool and beach which we don't have at our TS.
