The Orient Beach Hotel is south of the Esmeralda. The building runs parallel to the beach, providing each room with an ocean view. To reach it you have to drive down Avenue des Plages, and then, at the last roundabout before Orient Village, turn left onto the road leading to Palm Court and to La Playa (the old L'Hoste). Drive past those two until you come to the end of the road and you'll be there. It's next to the Blue Bay.

When we were staying at Palm Court last February, they still were repairing the Orient Beach from the damage caused by Irma. It did not appear to be open. We're not there now due to Covid concerns--just got our first vaccination shots exactly two weeks ago.
