As it has been asked and discussed previously, I decided to somewhat check out the restroom situation on Mullet Bay today.

Rosie's is now charging $20 for a set of chairs but if you are a repeat customer and talk to Chester, you might get a little break. Loungers were close but not as close as in Nov. They have your standard Port-o-john that was not bad and did have toilet paper and hand sanitizer and there was no charge to use it. Food was like always and the beach was only moderately busy.

Daleo's/SXM Fun Chairs or whatever the name is, charges $20 per set and they were not as close together. The bar area is totally upgraded from what it was in Nov. This is where the new restrooms/changing rooms/showers are located. Is it $2 per use or $6 PER PERSON for a day pass and this includes a 1 min. shower. You are issued a wrist band so unless you swap it from person to person, you will be paying this charge PER PERSON. I did not use them but the guy I talked to was very nice and said anything that uses the water they have to haul in incurs these charges.

Neither place was very busy as there was only 1 ship in today and it was overcast with scattered showers. Oh, and Mullet Bay was not friendly today as there were surfers and 10'-12' waves were constant. Almost nobody in the water.

We ran into some long time friends, the Armstrong's and enjoyed talking to them on the beach. We then had lunch at Rosie's and spent a little more time on the beach.

I had also communicated with SammyM from TTOL and we were able to meet up at Rosie's. We had an enjoyable conversation and I also met his wife. He had been staying on the French side and experienced some of the water issues but was now staying at the apartments, Commodore Suites, above Market Garden. I asked him to do a post about the apartments as they are sometime asked about on TTOL. He and his wife said they were decent so I look forward to his report of staying there.

It is always nice to meet people in person who are on TTOL.

When we were there in January, the Daleo's area had official "chair guys" in matching polo shirts with logos who greeted you at the edge of the parking area to offer chair rental. After we explained that we were staying on the island and just stopping for a minute to check out the waves, they were friendly and not pushy at all. It was a much more organized effort than in the past when you just wondered into the chair area and tried to identify who might be renting the chairs that day.

20 per set isn't bad. Daleos honors the magic of Caribbean card for chairs too.

JD,

Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to give us all a very detailed idea of what to expect at Mullet Beach now. Bathrooms are a nice addition for sure.

I’m still trying to figure out how they were able to build what you’ve described and others have posted photos of but maybe it was a quid pro quo for all the grief they took over the years from Mr. Ansary’s proclaimed ownership and from the government for allowing it to happen. In any event. I’m sure the public at large will come to appreciate the improvements.

But from the eyes of an old-timer, there goes another beach we used to love for its simplicity. Time marches on and things do change.


Respectfully,

pat

SURFS UP!! Decided to head to Mullet even though the sky was overcast. When we got to Beacon Hill Road by the Sunset it should have given us an idea of what Mullet would be like. Waves at Maho were putting sand dunes on the roadway again. Waves at Mullet were really big and about the only brave souls in the water were the surfers. After we set up under the tree past Daleos, it started to rain but when wearing a bathing suit...who cared. After the rain stopped my wife and I took some pictures and videos of the surfers. They were pretty good but one had to call it quits early because his board broke in half(didnt see how it broke, but saw him running with it to the parking lot). As the day went on we went to Rosie's dor a hot dog and Caribe and the afternoon cleared up. Here are a few pictures.

Definitely looks like a good day to stay OUT of the water, unless one is a really expert swimmer. Thanks for the pics!

It was really rough out there in the morning, but by late afternoon and as the tide went out, there were a few brave souls in the water. The waves were still breaking pretty hard. Back to Mullet today.

I was informed they had a septic system pumped out regularly. Water brought in, sh*t taken out.

I was told water is brought in every 3 days. No idea other than that.
