So, is this place closing or not? If yes, when? Need to make plans for August.

Thanks for your input.

It has closed.....The gov't pulled the lease and is developing it for other purposes. Had a long talk with the barback at a beachside bar at Maho Bay, told us the whole story about the newest owner and the lack of due diligence they did when they acquired the place. They were unaware that the gov't could or would pull the lease should it benefit themselves. The owners, although do not deserve what's happened to them, did not go through the process of defining what is real and what is not. Happens all the time in mexico with retirees who "think" they own the land they reside on. Company (in Mexico) declares bankruptcy and then re-incorporates as another entity, evicts you and then re-sells the land to the next sucker....

I don't feel comfortable taking my teenage daughters and son to a clothing optional beach.

The nude area is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY down at the end, quite a distance. You may see a few topless ladies here and there but you can and likely will see that on ANY beach in the Caribbean just so you know. Cozumel, Jamaica, St Thomas, etc... I have. I think the beach right there in Phillipsburg was actually pretty nice from what some of our friends said.

Sodey - I hope you are joking about staying on the ship. Orient Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches, and lots of fun.

I couldn't agree more but you will can and most likely will see nudity so please don't mislead her. All of Orient Beach is clothing optional, however where the cruise passengers dominate it is not very common.

Of course the human body is non-toxic to other humans. Let your kids know that there are other cultures that think differently than ours.

You people are way too serious!

I wouldn't stay on the ship if naked pigmies welcomed us to their island.

I myself won't be walking around nude (scary thought!)

But we'll have a good time.

We went to Dawn Beach which was beautiful and a short cab ride away. They rent snorkeling equipment and have chairs also.
