Carol and I will be returning soon to many of the places you mentioned. We were on the island for a few weeks in October and were saddened by the sight of Club O. Sounds like it isn't any better now. But, the beach is still the best end of Orient. Cedric is a true SXM Gem and he is a big draw for many tourists. We did enjoy quite a few meals at Perch Lite and will visit again when we return in April. We enjoyed the restaurants you mentioned with Le Piment being our favorite. We will make sure we stop at Piazza Pascal since we didn't trust eating at Grand Case last visit. Streets were mostly empty and we were told by many to avoid Grand Case. Seems to have come alive again with more places opening. Thanks Dave for you comments.
