1st time (1993 or so) stayed at La Belle Creole on the French side and fell in love with the place. When the 1995 hurricane blew it away, it was awhile before we returned and the condos were so much less expensive on the Dutch side, stayed there nearly every year, with the exception of a couple of years ago at Cottages de Longvilliers. I'm thrilled to say we'll be at Club Orient starting on December 12.
