Maho Bay Camps closing May 15, 2013

Post by lprof »

This is the complete text from the latest Maho Bay Camps newsletter... in my email today.

"Good Day Maho and Concordia Fans,

As promised, we do our best to keep you updated. Many of you are concerned about the future of Maho Bay. So, here is the story as we currently know it.

A few weeks ago, we were informed by the land owners that they have recently concluded initial discussions with a buyer for the property and they wish to send two people down to perform a site and environmental inspection. So, two weeks ago, those people arrived. They walked the entire property, taking pictures and samples, asking questions and taking notes. By the end of it all, we still have no clue what is going to happen to the campground, who the buyer is or their intentions. All that we are guaranteed is that there has been no extension for Maho Bay Camps. Therefore, we continue to make plans for one last great season and then close our tent flaps on May 15, 2013. This will give us time to vacate by lease end on June 30.

On the bright side of things, both Maho and Concordia have been cleaning, repairing, and replacing anything needed. Concordia has a new deck with grills overlooking the pool and some needed boardwalk and stair repair. New paint has also been applied along the boardwalks and in the original studios. New linens have been ordered for both properties. Maho has been pressure washing the boardwalks, painting the stairs and cleaning everything. Both properties are gearing up for one of the busiest season in years due to Maho closing. We anticipate being almost sold out for the majority of the high season. So, please book early and visit us at Concordia or stay, one last time, at Maho. Either way, we hope to see you here!"

I sure hope they don`t develop the area with condos or a resort. I wish I was rich enough to buy it and save the beauty.

We like to go to dinner at Maho and I love the glass shop. It makes me sick to my stomach that I'll never see any of it again.

The closing of Maho probably will mean the Cinnamon Bay Campground will be busier....
