We stayed in Terres Basses for 16 nights in a stand along studio, Casa Bamboo, beside a villa. It was big enough for us and had a view of Simpson Bay. We enjoyed our stay there but its a long way from Orient. It was 1 1/4 miles to Plum Bay, closest beach, so not walkable for us. We felt secure but did not stay out late at night. The roads are so dark and if you have followed the Daily Herald there was a rash of car hi-jackings around the golf course and leaving Copecoy area. In April 2 people were arrested but one released because of his age while police continue investing. I feel like Terres Basses is safe are but not either route to get there after dark. Latest we were out was 9:00 one night and we were both awful glad to see the guard house. If we liked late dining or night clubbing I would not stay in this area. We are early to bed and up at dawn type people so not going to be on the roads late. Hope this helps.
