Hello,
We are visiting the island for the second time this coming Monday. We’ve visited once before, three years ago, spending time between Simpson Bay and Orient. We’re doing the same this year and would like to incorporate some pickleball during our trip. Are there any other players here that can recommend places to play including dates and times? Thanks.

Check this thread for pickleball info.

People are definitely playing pickleball at SBR. It's a toss up to which sound we hear first thing in the morning. The pickleball rackets or the first Winair flight of the day.

Thanks for the info on that club. Will check it out. WT, are there visitor passes available in order to use the facilities at SBR?

Don't know and we'll be off island tomorrow, but I will ask when I have a chance. But I would guess that it would be for guests only.

My current guests are playing pickle ball every morning in Maho.
There is a great Pickleball community there at BE Sports.
They have open courts at 8 AM every morning where people show up and play. $7 per person. My guests are really enjoying the pickle ball in the morning.Link to BE Sportsm

That’s great to know Dr Phil, thanks. We will head there for the morning open play……

Have a good time. They are also on WhatsApp if you want to call and talk to somebody they are pretty good on responding. Or you can message.
I’ve given you a screenshot of the WhatsApp number

Cheers

This looks like a lot of fun!! On the way there, I saw on the map a place we've never heard of. Villa Bravo. Looks like a great location. Any thoughts???

I have never heard of Villa bravo. It appears to be off the beaten path on. Amazone Rd. Up near the large high-rise condominiums.
A complete mystery to me 🤔

Hi. We have been playing at BE Sports. Great spot with two pickleball courts and several padal courts. Friendly staff and a good kiosk with smoothies, espresso, sandwiches etc. Tomorrow and Tuesday we are invited to play at Isle Del Sol….

Pickleball is great but it is the last thing I want to hear on vacation. Have RV camped near the pickle ball court. And on SXM with temps, you can bet it will be at 6am.

Have to agree with you on the 6am pickleball activity. Sorry Dr Phil. But an early morning coffee on the balcony at SBR looking out at the peaceful Simpson Bay is not possible with this activity going on. They are well ahead of the first Winair flight at 7am.

😂. Wakey wakey.
