We're at LaPlage again this year, so it's not an issue, but in the future, if we are staying at a different place on SXM and want to eat at a restaurant in Maho village, like JAX, Moulin Fou, Hole In The Wall, etc, where the heck do we park?

I would beg to differ with Ed, as parking seems always to be an issue in Maho. But if you're talking next year, presumably the garage should be open by then. For this year, I will probably do valet at the casino..

WAIT A MINUTE..... ARE YOU SAYING THERE'S NO PARKING RIGHT NOW FOR ROYAL ISLANDER MEMBERS AT THE UNDERGROUND GARAGE? THEY ALWAYS HAD PARKING THERE. WHERE THE HELL DO WE PARK WHEN WE'RE STAYING AT LAPLAGE?
We'll be there October 12 to 19, and we've always had paid parking for one full week in the underground parking place below Terrasse.

Parking is horrendous in Maho. If you don't want to walk a long way I guess you have to valet park. There are 4 or 5 spots for the Pharmacy, but they are for the PHARMACY. As soon as it closes, those spots go real quick.

Isn't there some parking back the road that runs off the main road and somewhat behind the pharmacy?

Occasionally you can get lucky. We couldn't even park to go to Mullet Bay Clinic until they brought back their security a few weeks ago.

David--Just valet at the casino, regardless of where you're going. I could be wrong, but I believe the owner of the casino is the landlord for all the businesses in Maho, so he's sort of getting the money, one way or another.

Given that this year you have access to the Terrasse garage, why stress over something in the future when more is certain to be open?

I guess maybe he's trying to decide where to stay next year, based on parking in Maho? That wouldn't be a big determining factor in MY deciding where to stay, but maybe that's not where he's going with it.

I didn't think the businesses were all owned by him, but I thought he owned the land? Maybe not. Regardless, when I go to Jax, I'll be using valet, unless I luck into a spot somewhere.

Can you pay for the casino to valet park you, and then NOT go into the casino, but just go to a different restaurant? Or, are there OTHER valet options in the Maho village area? Yes. I did it a couple of times in June/July. They ask where you are going; I told them JAX. There was no cost; just tip the guy when you return. And contrary to a previous post, there is NOT always parking behind the pharmacy. One night I drove through the entire lot and there was absolutely nothing, nor were there any spaces along the side roads. I ended out going back to the hotel.

Interesting that they even asked you. The times we've used the valet, they never even asked us.

while there earlier this year went to maho several times and parked by Pharmacy each time. Never had an issue finding parking - though sometimes it was a longer walk than other times due to number of parked cars. To be clear I am referring to the side road behind the pharmacy. If I knew we could valet at casino for any/all businesses I would've done that. Good to know for next time - 1st ever trip to island was May this year and we are hooked! Booked our same apt as last time (simpson bay) and car rental already. Just watching airfare now - can't wait!
