Hi Barry....we were there Sept 10-17....no beach at all....just rock as it was last year during this time period. You can go into the front desk at Maho and arrange a tour of The Point no problem. Ramone was working the swimup bar until they closed the pool to install a new liner. Cheryl was on holidays or working upstairs at the Point. You have to check out the Bang Bang Shrimp at The Greenhouse over on Bill Foley Road....really good!
