Never thought of taking one of our ROKU boxes with us when traveling abroad. Great idea!!!!

..except that apparently it doesn't work there, according to the other poster..

We have stayed in this villa 12 times https://rentalo.com/1634/lavilla.html. it's called Villa Creole and it's 4 doors down from the guard gate at the entrance. Has a private pool for all of the Club Orient fans like we are. Nice breezes through the villa and ac in all bedrooms. Very comfortable and we love it there.

I don't see any pricing there??

Here is another link with a little better pricing (still could be displayed better)

I know in the past it's been negotiable a little bit if all bedrooms are not used. The current status of that may have changed as this is a new management company.

OK, thanks. $400 a night for a place that doesn't have a/c in the main room seems a little high to me..

For 400 a night the room should have a person with a palm branch fanning you with a drink in your hand. Lol

Ya, thats double what I remember. Something isn't right with the site. The pictures don't reflect the place very well either. It's set back and more private than it appears.

Carol, In June is low season, did you ask Bruno? His units are fully air-conditioned and the last time we were there before Irma we had the pool to our self's everyday! BTW his web-site is down. If you don't have his email, let me know. He could use the business!!

David--we've stayed there a couple of times, so are familiar with it, but it's not what we're looking for.

We just rented Villa Joie de Vie from Magali for three weeks in May of 2020. The villa has a wall around the private pool. No one can see you in the pool area. As of now, it is the only villa that she has that has US TV. We stayed in the place two years ago and found it convenient to just about everyplace in Orient Village. It is down the road across from La Plantation. Doesn't have an Ocean View. Actually, since it has a wall around the pool area, it has no view but the pool area. The villa is all on one level, no stairs. Check it out on her website.

I am aware of Joie de Vie. I am somewhat surprised that is the only villa she handles that has US TV. I guess that is a very common issue in that area. For right now, I have decided to put that search on the back burner for a while and re-evaluate priorities.
