Creator's Key Takeaways

we stayed at the sesta Maho Beach Resort wait until the end to see if we recommend this one for you and your family

the beach was really nice um the waves were really strong at this uh Beach so just be prepared for that

we would highly recommend this one because you get to see so much on this tour

would we stay there again probably not with kids um we would and even if we stay it again we would go onto the adult side

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to the hammock early at the resort because there are only two.
Bring a camera for horseback riding to capture nice pictures.
Get to the French bakery early because they run out of pastries.
Bring towels to Orient Beach as they are not provided.
