It is Ma Ho......and it's spectacular.....I wanted so badly to say something else but restrained myself..

I call it Ahhhhhhh-ho!

Maaaahhhhhhhh-ho. Emphasis on the ahhhhhh. Or the Ho. Depending on one's mood.

Flip, I think the emphasis is on the Ahhhh anywhere on the beach, but the -ho if you can manage a hidden spot over in the corner by the rocks under the Maho branches!
Everytime I hear this debate (wife mispronounces it all the time!), I hear the voice of Foghorn Leghorn..."Ah say it sounds lahk Mah-hoe". Don't know why, probably because I'm just a little off center.

Am I the only one who felt that my one and only trip to Maho was nothing but an excuse to get eaten alive by mosquitoes? We were in pain there were so many. We ended up piling into the jeep, soaking wet, and high-tailing it out of town.
Of course, it was at like 4-5PM when we were having said incident.

Maho is one of our favorites but we have found it to be buggy too. Last trip we went after alot of rain and we all practically ran back to our vehicles after just a very short time. They were downright viscious!pipanale wrote:Am I the only one who felt that my one and only trip to Maho was nothing but an excuse to get eaten alive by mosquitoes?

Word of advice to the uninitiated: Being on ANY beach on STJ around 4-6 pm is a REALLY BAD IDEA.
That's when the noseeums (yes these are real) come out to play and you will be eaten alive. If you really must be on the beach at that time, a heavy dose of bug spray (laden with DEET) is your best weapon.
Don't mess around with that skin-so-soft crap cause it won't work. It's full-on bug body armor time. My pick is Ben's.
Not sure if you remember that dating reality show a year or so ago? In one episode they went to STJ. Anyway the guy took his date to the beach in the afternoon for a picnic and to watch the sunset.
I could see it coming from a mile away and started to laugh .... they started to get eaten alive. Ended up in the water (still getting eaten) and then finally abandoned the beach.
Generally we are back at the villa chilling out and taking showers in the afternoon, so we avoid this nonsense altogether, but that's just us.
