Thanks for all the feedback. Of course my list of things to love about saint Maarten will list all of the amazing beaches including orient because I am sure they will be traveling around the island. I just was curious about grand case beach options because they are staying in grand case at hotel l'esplanade so I wanted to give them a close beach option. Thanks for updating the restaurants! I had forgotten about tastevin. Ate there man years ago and it was great.
