Our experience at Sunset Bar & Grill on May 12, 2012 was great! We found it to be the perfect spot to have a cold beer and enjoy the sights of the beach and the beautiful water. The added bonus was watching the planes approach the Princess Juliana Airport runway and the feeling that you could reach out and touch... More

This is our 3rd visit and another great time. This place is always busy, great drinks, great bar type food, great view, great service and of course, planes coming in right over the beach. Make sure if you go to St Maarten you stop here. It seems most planes come in in the afternoon and flights coming in are posted... More

This bar and grill is located on the end of one of the most famous beaches, Maho Beach, where planes fly right over your head or take off from the runway right across the street. They have changing facilities, very nice bathrooms and the wait staff is friendly! We enjoyed cheap buckets of beer, 6 for $15, and some great... More

I thought this place was great and think anyone here for a week or day should visit. Obviously, you can watch big airliners fly right over your head as they touch down across the street. The drinks here were pretty good and they were pretty cheap by Caribbean standards. The water here is beautiful as well. This was a fun... More

What a bar, a must for anybody visiting the island, you are sitting on a beach where the jets blast over your head before landing, great experience. Food and service was good for the location. One word of warning, be cautious when renting a car on the island with a company who has the red logo, check your contract in... More

Get a seat by the beach railing to get a great view of planes landing. Bring a small tripod if you want steady pictures. Beers and appetizers are reasonably priced. And you can use their bathrooms to change into your swimsuit. More

Nothing to dislike! Maho Beach is incredible fun. Fun, sun, drinks and watching planes land and take off, almost within reach. More

This little beach bar at the end of Maho is a great place to have a drink and watch the arriving and departing aircraft over the beach. The food is actually pretty good, if a little over priced. Great live music, and of course, sunset views are spectacular. More
