Maho Bay Beach

Maho Bay Beach Review

This popular beach is below Maho Bay Camps, a wonderful hillside enclave of tent cabins. The campground offers breakfast and dinner at its Pavilion Restaurant, water-sports equipment rentals at the beach, and restrooms. After a five-minute hike down a long flight of stairs to the beach, snorkelers head off along rocky outcroppings for a look at all manner of colorful fish. Watch for a sea turtle or two to cross your path. Another lovely strip of sand with the same name sits right along the North Shore Road. Turn left at the Annaberg intersection and follow the signs about 1 mi (1½ km) for Maho Bay Camps.

This is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. First of all they lied on Expedia about the services they provide. There is no room service available in the hotel, no ocean view rooms (they say you need to book 12 month in advance) and no mountain view (all tents are facing each other), they charge even to lock your door $8 for a lock. Tents are 30 years old and leaking, and cracks in the floors are so wide that cockroaches and lizards are flooding the dwelling. Restaurant is extremely dirty and the food is all from cans and is made in China.
They say they are eco hotel but it is not true. They just don't repair the hotel and don’t clean the territory, besides all their furniture, tables, plates, glasses and many more things are made of cheap toxic plastic which is definitely not ecofriendly. Also there are so many mosquitos that it is impossible to sunbath. There are a lot of tiny flees on the beach and they are so annoying that there is no way to relax on the sand. The beach is good but you can enjoy the same beach from a better hotel.
But the worst thing is that they are credit cards frauds. They stole my credit card’s number and started to charge me after I checked out.
Front desk service is awful; they just don’t care about the customers and are not professionals at all; also they are writing all that good reviews of the hotel themselves!!!!
I WILL NEVER STAY IN THAT AWFUL PLACE AGAIN! BEWARE!!!! BEWARE!!!! BEWARE!!!! BEWARE!!!! BEWARE!!!! BEWARE!!!!
