We came in February of 2009 for a once in a lifetime beach vacation. We discovered Orient beach as well as the rest of the island and we went home encountering major depression until reserving time in June. We only missed one year (due to medical reasons) until that bad lady Irma. We are still in the planning stages for future forays. We love the island with all its quirks and can’t wait to go back with the friends we have made there! Beware - the island is habit forming!
