Ritz Carlton to Acquire Maho Bay?

RickG · Post by **RickG** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 7:37 am

I was reading the Ritz Carlton S-1 and it appears they have an option on the Maho Bay property? It's part of their Caribbean expansion to include:
- Molasses Reef (Turks & Caicos Islands, B.W.I) - 2007
- Rose Island (Bahamas) - 2009
- St. Lucia (Caribbean) - 2009
- Maho Bay Plantation (U.S. Virgin Islands) - 2012

They mention building a funicular to the beach, a submarine ferry from the existing Ritz Carlton location, helipad and a geriatric life-extension center. Interesting.

At least we won't have to walk the steps to Lille Maho anymore.

Cheers, RickG

Please NO!
That will ruin one of the best snorkeling spots!

Almost plausible, at 6% interest on a $32M note that's only $200K per month for the payment.

Cheers, RickG

Nice April Fool's caper, Rick. The Ritz buying Little Maho is not much of a stretch, but the submarine ferry and funicular to beach was a nice twist.

and the geriatric life-extension center was a nice touch.

As I read, I totally forgot about the date. I've never been so glad to see April Fool's!

I hope this is the only joke I come across today.

Hey, you made me throw up in my mouth a little!

I thought about it too after my post and assumed it was an April Fool's joke. Good one Rick. Now I need to think of one to do at work.

I actually fell for it! After all the other junk I read about what people want to do with our little slice of paradise, it wouldn't surprise me at all!
