Club O hasn't changed much since 2008. Orient village has more and better restaurants than it did in 2008. In some ways they are starting to rival grand Case. Petit Casino replaced Tap 5, and it has a broader selection, better prices. 7 Years ago, neither Simply nor Price Leader (both grocery stores) existed in Hope Estates. In 2008 if you wanted to find a decent grocery store, you had to drive to the Match in Marigot. Now, a drive to Hope Estates (at the roundabout where the turnoff to Cul de Sac is) will get you good supermarket shopping. There are good morning pastries at the Club O boutique, Good Morning in Orient Village, and Yellow Sub in Orient Village. Despite some changes (people will rue the loss of their personal favorites), IMHO Orient overall is better now than it was 7 years ago, and how many places in the world can you say that about?
