Becareful with children of the huge waves in the Mullet Beach water. Sometimes the water looks calm and other times large waves will happen.SXM has several beaches with calm water all the time but as said before you will need a car.good luck.

Bob,

Good information along with the fact that the character of Mullet Beach can change in a couple of hours time.

It's always been our favorite and since Towers guests do receive free beach chairs there it's a usual choice for many guests.

We've been there when the waves in my bathtub have been bigger and we've also been there when the surfers were out enjoying the waves. March '08 the ocean swells were so severe along much of the island there were a few days when Mullet was unswimmable for most of us and in fact, it was the first time I ever saw the beach closed by an island 'sheriff' and a member of the Soualiga Patrol (which lasted until they were out of sight, I might add....) so it's always a good thing to check the beach conditions every day.

Being there with two year olds will be an experience, for sure. Last month my daughter and son in law were with us and their two year old was pretty skeptical of the water. For about a day that is, but they also found, as much as she loved the ocean and playing in the sand, she really enjoyed the pool at The Towers. One end is particularly shallow and the little ones seem to gravitate to the steps on that end.

Respectfully,

Pat, I think I told you I was knocked down by one of those huge waves.The first and only time I went in the water there during Feb 81.The pool at the Towers is very nice but the water was too cold for me. I know kids don't mind and have fun but I need warmer water. HaHa.

Hi Pat,

Thanks for the great info! About the car, do you recommend any business in particular to rent from? I was just going to rent on-line from one of the travel web sites. And I was wondering about the kids' car seats... we should take the car seats out too? Do you think someone will steal children's car seats out of a rental car?

I have also been trying to find the Towers on-line. I only have a name and a confirmation number, but no phone number and no email for them. Which is strange, but I didn't notice it until I wanted to contact them about our upcoming stay. I was wondering if you or anyone else has their website, email, phone # ect...

With all the concern for leaving valuables a rental car.... is this area safe to travel to with two small children? Is there alot of crime? Or just theft from rental cars?

Thanks again!
April

The Towers sadly doesn't seem to have a working email address.(it was= towersrsv@megatropic.com) It would surely make life easier if it did work. However,here's the toll free number=
1-800-235-5889
Other number- which will cost you= 011-599-545-3069
Fax= 011-599-545-2147
I know Pat can give you great info on cars/car seats. She's the Towers' guru!!

Mary Ann,

Are you aware there is now an owners site for The Towers at Mullet Bay?

You do have to register but you might get better information that way.
