There was an ATM at the Esmeralda, I don't know if its been taken out. They would also do currency exchange, as a service, at the front desk

Am I the only one that finds it crazy that there is no ATM in Orient Village? With all those bars, restaurants, and the Petit Casino I can't imagine it doesn't justify an ATM You are not. That said, we found literally nowhere on the French side that did not take cc's assuming you were spending more than a few euros. We bought some euro from our bank before we left. On the Dutch side, most of the restaurants at Jordon Village were "cash only" due to the insane % charged by banks to process cc's... or at least that is what we were told and I have no reason to doubt them. There is a very safe ATM at Porto Cupecoy. Used it twice in Feb.

Credit Mutuel - choose either Euros or US dollars. We've never been charged a fee there.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

"we found literally nowhere on the French side that did not take cc's " Friers Bay resturants don't take them alond with some others on Oreint Beach. 978 at FBB took our Visa just fine at lunch back in February. I just looked back at the statement to make sure my memory is correct and it is. Obviously we didn't do an exhaustive study of Orient Beach's businesses and I am sure some business doesn't but as I said we never found one that didn't take our Visa. And we found many on the Dutch side that did not take cards.

978 is new, correct? I don't remember it there. Only Friars Bay Beach Cafe and Cali's, or whatever they call it now. Is 978 what used to be Calis?

I think it is in that same location but some form of Kali's still exists, maybe just the bar?? The day we were there FBBC wasn't open and we were pleasantly surprised by 978. The curry was fantastic.
