Piano bar entertainer Henry Haid will be performing a limited April 3-18 engagement at The Red Piano, located at the Simpson Bay Resort & Marina in St. Maarten.

Haid rose to prominence portraying piano man Billy Joel in Twyla Tharpes Tony Award winning hit Broadway musical “Movin’ Out.”  He received rave reviews for those Broadway performances at New York City’s Richard Rodgers Theater.  New York Theater proclaimed, “Pianist/lead vocalist Henry Haid’s electric voice rang out passionately and impressively.”  And Patrickweb reported, “The playing and singing by Henry Haid was outstanding.”  In a review of a recent performance in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Shaun A. Pennington of the St. Thomas Source wrote, “Having heard him I have to say Haid is Billy Joel, when Billy Joel was Billy Joel – in a musically electric way.”

Prior to his stint on Broadway, Haid performed at piano bars throughout the USA, Europe and the Caribbean.

Catch his act Mondays through Saturdays beginning at 8 p.m.

Starting March 5th Simpson Bay Resort will gain a new Aqua Mania Adventures location on the beach.

Paddle boards, a new swim platform and scuba diving courses off the beach will become part of the daily activities for guests enjoying some fun in the sun.

With the emergency repairs project underway, we thought we would take a moment to update members on our progress.

Here are some visual examples depicting some of the typical issues from which many units are suffering:

We’ve already made quite a bit of progress, most particularly in the roof replacement segment of the project. Below is a short video interview with a North Carolina-based roofing expert detailing the current state of Simpson Bay Resort’s roofs and how we will be addressing the problem.

We will continue to post progress updates periodically to keep you up to speed with the ongoing status of the project.
