Resort Experience:
The approach to the Towers through the defunct Mullet Bay Resort (destroyed years ago by a hurricane), is not appealing—but once you enter the gate to the Towers, all is neat, clean, and well landscaped. The spacious studios, and the one and two bedroom units in the 8 story tower all have balconies with beautiful views. The full kitchen even has a small dishwasher, and the refrigerator has an ice maker and water dispenser. There is only enough service for four, so dishes and glasses need to be washed daily.
The living room is large with a pull out sofa, marble floors throughout, and our unit had two balconies —one with two padded lounges, and a small dining table and two chairs. The balcony off the bedroom had two plastic chairs. A/C is good, ceiling fans, lights on dimmers, a dining table for four, TV with a few U.S. channels, a radio/CD, and VCR all make it very comfortable for a long stay. There is even a second TV in the bedroom.
The bathroom has a tub/shower combo. and a sink on a large counter in the dressing area. There is plenty of closet space and storage drawers all over.
Vacationers are mostly American, with a few Canadians. No activities are planned at the resort, except a manager's cocktail party—without the manager. Drinks, wine, and beer are served for an hour by the pool along with hot and cold hor's doeuvres. A part-time concierge can arrange boating tours and visits to nearby islands. A car is a must—although you can walk to shops and restaurants in the Maho area and the beach is a short walk across the golf course, the area around the hotel is not lit and is in total disrepair.
The Towers at Mullet Bay deserves it's Gold Crown, and we look forward to a return visit soon.
