Sorry Scuba! I should have clarified that the cost for the chairs was regardless of eating there or not. The food and service is the same as it’s always been…..excellent! We spent two of our beach days at Orange Fever this last trip (Nov. 26-Dec. 4). Very little seaweed on Orient Bay during our stay and the weather was perfect every day, except for the day we arrived which is a wasted day due to travel. I asked J.C. why they started charging and he said everyone else on the beach was and they were still half. I’m hoping it goes away in the low season when they’re less busy but we’ll have to see.

They were packed both days we went on the beach and for lunch.

It’s still our favorite spot on Orient Bay based on food, service and price. Throw in the charismatic J.C. and you have a winner no matter what they charge for their chairs.

Cheers!
