I loved it, but you really need to know what you're getting before you go. Also, I went in the off-season, so there were very few folks around and the staff was in 'coasting' mode so it may be a bit different when the crowds pick up. That said: there are dozens of tent-cottages sprawled on the hill next to... more

Maho is a unique place. I could say you are either going to love it or hate it. But, the fact is that probably a lot of people that go there the first time are put off on the first day by all the steps and the camp realities (carrying up water, communal bathrooms, water leaks from rain, critters in... more

This past week I had the pleasure of visiting STJ to witness close friends get married. I traveled with the best friend of the bride and having a like travel mind, we set our sights on Maho Bay Camps for the first night before joining the balance of the wedding party. Not the easiest place to reach, which at the... more

Our second stay at Maho - so we knew what to expect, which I think is critical to to enjoying a stay. It's too bad some of the prior posters didn't have a good time here - it really is beautiful, and such a unique place. It's camping, don't get me wrong. The weather was cooperative (early June) with fairly... more

During our honeymoon 12 years ago my wife and I were on a cab that was dropping campers off at Maho Bay and we thought how neat it would be to camp in such a beautiful place--the warm sunshine, blue skies, and gorgeous beaches. All of this is there. I am an experienced backpacker and have been camping at high... more

Ah Maho Bay Camps! Returning after 20 years we weren’t sure if we were going to be into navigating the stairs, sleeping with the bugs, and being so far from town. When we first came to St. John we were in our early twenties, hard and strong. We came for the simplicity and the low cost. Today we are in... more

I read all the reviews of Maho Bay and thought I knew what to expect and what I was getting into. Some things were true and did not bother me one bit. Yes - there are LOTS of stairs, no A/C, lizards in room, community bathrooms. I was totally fine with all that. Some things I read I did not... more

This place is wonderful for those who don't need room service and all the bells and whistles of an overpriced resort to experience the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. I have been to Maho Camps twice, and plan on returning for years to come. Travel to St. John via St Thomas may seem to deter people, but I can... more

I'm all about the environment and "green", so I was very excited about this. I was disappointed. They are doing some good things, and I very much appreciate that. But, green doesn't mean your bathroom should smell like urine (we stayed in the Harmony suites for 2 nights, then the tents for one. I preferred the tents- at least you... more
