Many time visitors to paradise but not since Irma. We had a couple of friends who just returned from their first trip who gave us observations that did not ring true so can to the definitive site for answers

1. Baei Rouge - Chez Raymond is not longer there; No chairs or umbrellas for rent
2. Orient Beach is no longer called Orient Beach - They said it was "Kay Ko" or something like that (90% sure this is not correct from reading posts
3. Orient Beach has been largely washed away and is now very small
4. Hotels now control access to their beaches...
5. In line with #4 Dawn Beach has largely disappeared and the only access is through the hotel who charges for access.

Most of this does not appear to be true. We are schedule for first trip back beginning Memorial Day weekend and just thought we would ask

Thanks to everyone
