We have been to SXM numerous times, always staying at Club O. We would like to make another trip- SOON ! We have never rented a car, always had Wilfred Brooks meet us at the airport, and transport us to Club O. On the rare occasion we left Club O to venture into Marigot, etc we arranged for Mr. Brooks to handle that too. So, since Club O is no longer available (other than the beach), are there any places to stay within walking distance (maybe along the beach) to the Club O beach? We plan to stay at a nice place, not necessarily C/O, then walking down (up?) the beach to spend the day at Club O beach. Is it even doable, or would we have to travel by rental car to find anyplace decent to stay? Our main reason to go and primary destination spot is Club O beach to enjoy the C/O environment again. Last time we were there was right before, and stayed at Club O during Hurricane Gonzalo when Tiko Tiko was washed up onto the beach between Papagayo and Watersports. We are long overdue.

It kind of depends on what your definition of 'walking distance' is. There are a TON of small condo rentals right in the middle of Orient Village. There is also La Playa, which is on the beach, right by the Village. And I'm having a senior moment, can't remember the name (Alamanda maybe?) that is re-opening as a hotel, after having been run as individual rental units for several years.

Last November we stayed at the Orient Beach Hotel. The walk to the Club O beach was about 20 min for us being in our early 80’s. After 2 days, we found a friend who was staying at the same hotel and who had a rental car. We are hoping to go back this coming November, and will be renting a car for sure.

o2b We have stayed at this place a couple of times and absolutely loved it. It is right on the beach and just a 2-3 minute walk to Club O beach. The owners are wonderful people and go out of their way to make your stay a pleasant one. Just be warned, that this area has problems with water interruptions that can go on for several hours and even days. Here's the link. https://www.sochicvillas.com/cote-chic/

We have stayed at numerous locations along ob. We have rented a Villa near orient village for this November. I would suggest checking out the properties on Blueoceanvillas and Islandescapesxm. They both have many properties in your walking space and have many size and price points for rental. Good luck!

Bruno and his wife Geraldine are the nicest hosts you will ever meet on the French side! We've stayed there MANY times!! I love a dip in the pool with a cocktail on the deck after the beach!! We love being close to the village!! She's all rebuilt after Irma reared her ugly head on her!! Have fun!!! Tell Bruno I said hello!!
