TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Pinel is open, but…….

Very stinky! They’re diligently clearing the yuck and fortunately the boat transfer is operating as normal. We would be so disappointed if we missed Pinel this week!

Good to know. We are planning to go next Tuesday.

A face mask will help with the odorswhile waiting for boat departure. I believe I read yellow beach is closing today for vacation till 7/7/22. So after today Karubani will be very busy. Suggest you go online and reserve your chairs today so as not to be disappointed. Enjoy to your vacation 👍👏

Till 7/7? Did they get the issue of their license resolved? There was a story in the Daily Herald about a month or so ago that said that their licenses were revoked, effective June 22.

Correct. On vacation from May 30 to July 7. Was on their Facebook page.

BUT--what happened to the closure ordered by the French authorities?

Carol- I fully expect an appeal has been filed so litigation will suspend enforcement of order at this time.

Probably, but it is weird that there has not been any official word posted anywhere.

And you are surprised at that.

We went today, winds were kickin pretty good, but so beautiful on the Karibuni side..that cove is so sweet! It was very busy all over Pinel, business is good!
