Perhaps now. For a time the resto was closed except for the workers.

I just read that Sonesta Great Bay Beach Resort was changing to all-inclusive Planet Hollywood. Is this the Maho Sonesta?

Great Bay Sonesta was in P-burg and has been razed. This thread is about the Maho Sonesta.

Maho area has slowly been deteriorating since Sonesta went totally all inclusive..... the guests don't venture out.

Back in the '80's it was AI then and it didn't hurt the local restaurants. Sonesta owned both Great Bay Hotel & Sonesta Maho (pre their fire) and guests staying at either hotel that took the optional meal plan could dine at either hotel restaurants. RonDon...just one correction. Sonesta has NEVER owned either Great Bay Hotel or the Sonesta Maho. Yes the name Sonesta was used. Story goes the Sonesta wanted a presence on the island...and it was in the Spadarro's family's best interest to rent them the name.. The deal was worth millions to the Spadarros and a win win situation for both companies. Of course...the same is true with ''Ocean Point".

The Sonesta name though concerning both hotels ...didn't come into existence until about fifteen years ago.

The old location of Sonesta Great Bay is presently an empty lot....
I have been visiting St. Maarten for 48 years as well as many other Islands....but SXM is "home". In the USA, I live between FL (north of Tampa/Pasco/Brooksville) and CT. Any questions, please mail me: [email]MrStMaarten@aol.com[/email
