Is there Valet Parking at the Casino? Is the lot under Sonesta still closed? Used lot under Maho Market many times in the past, is it relatively safe?
I know under Maho Market is a long walk for the OP and her husband, just curious about the information.

When we stayed at RILP in April we were told the underground parking there was ONLY for RILP and RILT guests. Much of the location was still taken up with furniture and materials but that may have changed by now. There were security guards there all day and evening for guests but it is a bit of a hike unless you’re very lucky and find a spot near the stairs and elevator.

Although I could be wrong, I think the owner of the casino also owns almost all of the Maho property, so I wouldn't personally have a problem with it, as you're still patronizing one of his tenants. ...and in general, I don't feel too sorry for someone who owns a casino. I don't view it as the same as using wifi from a restaurant that you don't buy a drink from, although I guess the analogy can certainly be made.

Sorry......that was meant as a general question. Can I use the casino valet parking if I am not going to the casino? Several folks in previous threads have implied as much and I'm just trying to find out if that is acceptable. Yes, you can; I did it a couple of weeks ago. The valet person may ask where you are going; just be honest. Short walk across the street to JAX. And to those who recommend parking down by the Platinum Club . . . it's a crapshoot. One night I tried that and there were NO empty spaces.

Parking in Maho was tough when we were there mid-June. The road past the Pharmacy was lined on both sides for quite a distance so we used the valet at the casino a couple of nights to visit both La Rosa and Foo with no questions asked. Safe and convenient. The casino has a very good show in the evening, and the crowd for that was pretty substantial..parking opened up a bit after that was over.

Louise,
Beach Kitten is correct and she is just back from RILT. We stayed at RILP in April and the underground lot beneath the grocery store and RILT was strictly for Sonesta guests. The other parking structure closer to the pharmacy wasn’t open at all when we were there. Easy Maho parking is at a premium these days.

Never stopped in Maho pre Irma very much, but after the storm we went frequently and of course parking was a piece of cake. At this time there's really no public parking in Maho. Even the giant lot just down the road by the pharmacy has been filled with construction materiel just like the covered lots. In the last couple of months, we stopped going due to the parking situation there.
It's good to see there are still lots of people there even this time of year.
