That's what I was thinking, those first pictures are NOT of Rosies, I don't think? It's the other place, that has the bathroom?? It actually looks very nice though. Where is that other place, in relation to Rosies?? The food pictures REALLY make me hungry!!! Those definitely look like they are Rosies' food.
Ed--yes, Rosie's ribs are very good. In the old days, when Pedro's was good and cheap, I preferred theirs, but Pedro's got expensive and not that good.
Yes, same spot as Daleo's, same owners. I was always a Rosie's supporter and I could see people during the day still supporting Rosie's but the addition of a bathroom to use that is clean is a great add to the beach. There is a fee to use, but again, worth it.
It is a very nice spot to be at sunset and the early evening, Da Watering Hole has a nice bar area and seating area with tables. Only had food there one night and it was good, not great but with the setting and friendly service we enjoyed a couple stops there on our last trip and expect we will make stops by on our next.
Lots of permanent structures now on mullet. Not all Rosies structures.
That's because now no one is watching. Ansari is fighting other battles on the Mullet front. He has also ceased Towers operations (as a damn hotel). It ceased being used as a timeshare in 2017. Ansari has also now kicked Clarence out, and he was the one keeping an eye on the golf course and beach operations.

David's son is the one who brought Daleo's to a new level- Da Water-Hole. (David was the head beach bartender for Mullet Bay Resort back in the day. Then he and Leo (his brother or friend- not sure) opened Daleo's.)
I’m still trying to figure out how the new upscale place was able to be built on the beach after all the acrimony from the past, not to mention the rules regarding building on the beaches anywhere on SXM, but it looks like a nice and much welcomed addition to Mullet Beach and we will definitely check it out next time there.
But they’ll have to do something really special to convince me their ribs are better than Rosie’s. 😊😊

We were on island last year the last week of Feb and first week of March and stopped at The Water Hole a couple of times. They have been busy. The walkway in and the covered table area is new since then and looks very nice. They just had tables in the sand at that time.Also it's nice to have a clean washroom on the beach even if there is a fee which would explain why my wife's purse is on my knee.
We have always been a Rosie's supporter as well, but I have to say what has been done at the other restaurant looks pretty impressive. The fact that there is a clean bathroom there is a really good addition. I wish Rosie's had done that too. Having said that, I will still probably go to Rosie's. Can you use the bathroom at the other restaurant just by paying even if you are not eating there? If so--how much does it cost? Not that it would matter if you need to use it.
Someone had mentioned, they rented the chairs from the Water Hole, and went over to Rosie's for the ribs. I guess if you are contributing to both, it works.
Pat, I had the ribs at Dalio's one year and they were great. I had to bring half back to the Villa, But, they weren't Rosie's......
