We were there from Sept. 13th to the 26th after a 2 yr. absence and were shocked at the drop offs in front of Orange Fever on the beach and in the water, and the narrowness at the far end of Orient. (Papagayos) The seaweed situation was not an issue except for one day during our entire stay. So much seaweed everywhere, in the water and on the beach. It was thick even under the beach chairs. The next day it was completely gone. If you mention it to anyone that works there on the beach, the response is very French...kind of, c'est la vie. Kind of refreshing. It's nature...there is nothing you can really do about it. Enjoy your stay and have a BBC!
