Tim and Di,

Do yourself a favor and rent the car for the time you are on island. There really isn't much in true walking distance...and even if you use the car twice to three times on your vacation, you will find it pays for itself...especially taking a taxi to and from the airport!!!! I have been going to SXM for over twenty years, and now for three weeks at a time....i probably use the car maybe 7 or 8 times during my vacations, but at least i have the flexibility to go where i want, when i want so find it worth the few bucks to have it. You can probably get a small car for under 200 bucks for the week including taxes...and a few taxi rides will eat that up real quick. Even though Club O is at Orient Beach, i wouldn't advise walking to Orient Village at night...it's just not the safe thing to do. Take everyone's advice and ''just do it''. Enjoy your first time....it won't be your last!!
