What are the costs this year for renting chairs/umbrella on the 'Club Orient' beach? And does one still need to arrive before dawn to obtain front row chairs? Thanks for responding.

trip report
gitter
4 hours ago
Just returned from our trip. It was our 14th (?) trip the last being 2017 and with was a couple for their 1st trip.
The trip both ways went okay.
We used AAA and Alain took care of our needs.
We stayed at the Lighthouse in OBBR and the fifth floor unit was amazing! It had everything we wanted including maid service.
Shopped at Cost U Less.
Beaches-Orient is still the best on the island, First day we found Jose near the end of the beach near the old Orient club.He only had 10 chairs but they were all in front. The next time we used the second line at the bikini beach bar.
Went to Friar's bay and was disappointed but how rocky the beach was.
Toward the end we stopped at Maho and Mullet, I had forgotten how lovely Mullet is.
Restaurants
Mamas pizza-still a wonderful place to dine.
Sunset Cafe at the GCBC. An evening shower ruined the atmosphere but the meals were still excellent.
Sky's the Limit LOLO mahi-mahi was tasty and the plate selection lets you try all the 5 sides. We picked this LOLO because there is a parking lot that charges $5 but if you eat at certain places they give you $5 off your meal. Finished up at the La Dolce Vita and all 4 desserts were amazing.
Pineapple Pete's we use to love this place but not as good as before, It seems they are living off their reputation and the increased number of games didn't help.
Yellow Submarine-nice beach vibe, the food was pretty good but the mixed drinks were not good, admittedly it could have been what we ordered.
Friar's Bay French restaurant had a good meal but what made it memorable was the meal shots that were poured out of a gas can!
BZH is an excellent French with satisfying selections.
Our best breakfast was Reveil in the Plaza Del Largo. The crepe selection, the wraps, omelets and fruits.
One of our other 'finds" was the Bread and Butter deli. an amazing selection of croissants, cheeses. ready made beach sandwiches, alcohol, everything you could need in that area.
One Wednesday we took an all day catamaran cruise around the island, It was the "Eco Friendly Tour Around the Island" through Eagle Tours. I highly recommend this tour if you want to see the island from the water and stop at Tinatamarre and Creole Rock for snorkeling. The crew was friendly, courteous, funny and informative. The tour has an open bar and filling food.
I will add more if/when I remember them.

Hello folks
TOWZERONE
Yesterday at 05:22 PM
My wife and I will be coming down to Marigot in May this year to celebrate our 25th anniversary
This will be our 8th time down since 1999 and our last visit was summer 2017 just before Irma destroyed the island
We always stay on the French side and our first place we stayed was a hotel just before Sandy Ground that was destroyed and I believe now is Condos
We have stayed at Nettle Bay and Grand Case as well
My question is has anyone noticed the weather changes the past few years in particular the skies ?
Reason i ask is here in Canada where we live we have hardly any sun anymore and we see tons of planes daily spraying crap in the air
They say its contrails but its not as we see blue skies early in the AM and as soon as the planes start within a few hours we have no sun anymore
I have seen some pics of SXM and it looks like they are doing the same down there?
Whats your thoughts on this . We have friends in France that have lived their their whole lives and say the same thing
This is a typical pic here when 6 years ago the skies were a vivid blue

Traiteur in Orient village
jeepers
Yesterday at 02:59 PM
Traiteur (was on dirait Le sud) in Orient village has changed owners from last January. They are now open all afternoon. We got delicious prepared meals for take away. They had beef cannaloni, chicken thighs in mushroom sauce, lasagna,curry chicken with vegetables & a seafood of some sort (which I didn't buy). They have baguettes as well & sometimes a home made herb flat bread. Also olive oils & of course charcuterie fixings. Everything was delicious & we didn't have to cook to eat in.

I told my wife if Seahawks loose I'm shaving mustache off. She pleaded with me not to make that contingency as she has never seen me without for 57 years. They better win.🤞 Think it's a safe bet.
