https://www.thedailyherald.sx/islan...na-suggested-by-govt-due-to-restrictionsIt was originally to be a Belair property development? It was rumored to be the former Mullet Bay Resort location? Hurricane Irma slowed down the project. The DH article is an archived story pre Irma. A thread in TTOL archives mentioned Maho had three hundred chinese construction workers? http://www.traveltalkonline.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/184288/Searchpage/1/Main/27369/Words/%2BChinese/Search/true/ocean-point-at-maho.html#Post184288 Is Maho owned by the "Pearl of China" Group???

Easy answer. NO Maho is owned by the Maho Group, which is the Spadarro Family...which also own, Royal Islander properties....The Sonesta and Ocean Point....CAsino Royale....and were the ones that built and are building up behind the Casino. If i remember correctly, the Pearl project was going to be on Great Bay.

Ed,
Could be mistaken but I thought the Pearl Development was going to be in the general area of Belair, but on the other side of the road, no? Any talk of planting it on the Mullet property, should it become reality, would be the final straw for me and my reason for finally giving up on St. Maarten completely.
Respectfully,
pat

Pat--correct, Pearl of China was supposed to be in the area of Belair originally. My feeling with regard to why it has kind of disappeared is because William Marlin is no longer the PM....

Tom,
I’ve always thought the same with regard to any talk of the future redevelopment of the Mullet Bay Area. No news is the best news, IMO.
