On their Face Book page it is stated: Heavy Equipment working 6 days per week to clean up. This should take 4-6 weeks. Their goal is to have some rental units by year’s end. WAHOO! carib cheers, doctorj Way to go Club O!

That really Is great news. On a somewhat related note - we leave for Curacao in the morning, and 6 - 12" of snow is forecasted for later in the day. More great news.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

Had lunch at Chez Leandra yesterday and driving in we were amazed at the lack of debris. They have been working hard!

So Chez Leandra is still serving? What's happening with the Collectivite'? Are any of the other restaurants in that area working to open up?

Didn't go down the beach at all and have no idea what's going on, as usual. There is a container further down, but didn't see any activity. I would guess near Le String. There are a few chairs/umbrellas scattered around, some red like Kon Tiki and in that area. But they have been there for awhile. Some ugly Americans off a cruise ship were giving the taxi driver a hard time because there were not enough umbrellas and chairs for them and wanted to go back to the ship. He pointed them to the others on the beach and also Club O.
Had a lovely whole snapper at Chez Leandra! Full menu not available, but they had chicken, ribs, shrimp and conch. Fries, rice and peas, salad. And a bar!

Orient Beach itself is stunningly beautiful to me, much more beautiful than it has been for YEARS. I hope that maybe one of the big restaurants will be open before our trip in June, but even if not, I think we will go, with a cooler..

Agree, we love the beach in it's current state. Did not like how busy it got and seldom went there pre Irma.

Agree. We will go there in June. It's a beautiful beach, with or without all the beach bars. We will certainly miss the fun we always had at Aloha, however....and Nathalie.

Unless things have changed, and they may well have, it is either Club Orient or Chez Leandra renting chairs. I guess there could be an enterprising "gypsy" person renting chairs/umbrellas also.

Did the video link from 3/12 go away?
NO, scroll back a few posts and ChuckG has a link in his post. There is also another link in a locked (duplicate) thread for the video. You can also find it HERE VIDEO LINK

Link to FB got a blank page...maybe this will work Club Orient"Collectivite and Club Orient negotiated to secure property adjacent to the current property to help insure that even with another storm they will be in a more secure environment?" I am confused...

I wonder if that is part of the deal about requiring some kind of a disaster shelter? There was some talk about building a several story building, back from the beach toward the salt pond.
