TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Roxxy Beach on Kim Sha

I think the key words arre "Kim Sha Beach"....Kinda says where it will be

Just trying to somewhat pinpoint the exact location since Kim Sha runs from beyond BBB to Royal Palm. Didn't realize asking specifics would be an issue.

I think he had some issues with some other posts too. Not sure why. Maybe just having some fun.

Issues, yes. Fun, no.

It is like saying there is a new beach bar/restaurant going in on Simpson Bay Beach or Orient Bay Beach. There is a lot of real estate there and I was specifically asking an island resident for a more precise location ON Kim Sha Beach.

According to a picture (Google Maps) I saw posted elsewhere (and by an island resident) it is directly beside Royal Palm. Sounds like you are right on with your location.

Between Royal Palm and the small rock pile before the DIve Center. Hopefully the map link works.

MAP

Link worked, yes. Thanks for posting the info.

Wasn't this location supposed to be used for a new hospital???

Yes, that was the talk at one time. Not so much a hospital as in a "local hospital" but more of a "destination medical center" from what I recall. Still quite a bit or land there.

That hospital will never be built. Not giving $$ to greedy politicians

So very right, Elaine!

Thanks for the link. That is where I thought it would be too. Very nice for the Royal Palm. I just wonder if the unnamed US investor is affiliated with Apollo aka Diamond International.

Oh boy they will only go on until 1AM every night? We did not like La Bamba's late night entertainment and that was usually just two nights a week!!! Be nice if someone could build something near his home to keep him awake .

I agree with you on that one.

We shall see where this all falls later this year and how it affects the local population with traffic and noise. I am a regular patron at his other properties and think its about time something upscale and sophisticated comes into Simpson Bay. As of right now, Simpson Bay has nothing to compare this to and as for La Bamba, it was a seedy dump - definitely not apples to apples.

I don't think anyone is comparing this to LaBamba, other than the possibility of LATE night noise...

Bingo! And that’s where it will be.

It is right beside the Royal Palm. The traffic in Simpson Bay is horrible now and we really didn’t have a high season so imagine when this eyesore is built and high season is in full swing! Sorry, there are many other places that should be rebuilt/repaired. Stop putting all entertainment in one area!

dmweiser--Someone said that this guy was affiliated with Dreams. The newspaper story said Le Sand. I could well be wrong, but I thought the only thing that Le Sand and Dreams had to do with other is that they were next door (and the property I think owned by the same person). Anyone know if this fellow was associated with Dreams? I agree that a sophisticated beach area on the Dutch side would be nice. Just worried about late night noise and traffic.

Saw his picture, he had Le Sand. Nothing to do with Dreams.

OK, thanks.

But the land is owned by a big local Family.

I heard a rumor a long time ago, when the were talking about building a hospital there, that the land there is owned by Sarah Wescott Williams. No idea if that's true or not.

No , not her but I will pm you. Private.

OK, no problem. Not the first time I've been wrong!!
