May is low season. If necessary, you should be able to find someplace else to stay. I don't know that you would get any money back from Maho though?

You will most likely have to give them a credit card to check in, at which point they may well run it for the weekly charge...

MrWhiskerssammy said: How many nights does that price cover? I'm not finding anything near that unless you are just staying for a few days. Would you tell me which site you booked it on? I would love to stay there but not paying 250-350 a night. We just can't eat or drink that much. The poster said she's booked for a week for two at that price all inclusive. I imagine you might find less costly rentals, perhaps a tent on the beach somewhere, but you still need to eat......but I do think she booked an introductory special for the property in question. But I could be wrong about that.

I booked last June. It is for a week. I couldn't believe the price so I called the hotel and booking.com to confirm. Within a month after booking it had almost doubled. I was sure it had to be an error but luckily for us it wasn't. I love looking for deals!

Great price for 2 even if it is May. We've stayed twice, it's OK, the older part is beng refurbished into the Ocean Point, a hotel within a hotel. The Maho is now just the tower. The lower rooms are OK, you might have a view out the back, but since it's May you might be able to get an upgrade - higher level facing the pool and water. If you booked thru booking.com, check the cancellation terms, you wil have given a cc to book, you pay when you leave, but if you cancel x days in advance then you will be charged I believe.
Rent a car, use the hotel as a home base and have fun. Sheryl at the swim up bar is fun J&B
