Since I don't know how to post from other sites to ttol I will provide the following sites that I found that have some current info on Orient. On facebook....sxm epicure club. On FB, Christophe Hubler (La Villa) has some drone video just posted this week. Also on FB, www.sxm-talks.com. Again on fb, go to le piment orient bay sxm...then go to post by Johnny Milian. Theres a video of a couple who took film from the time you enter parc de la baie oriental. Unbelievable damage. I can confirm that the owner of La Rhumerie in Place du Village, formerly Tai Chi, is in France and has decided not to return to sxm. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> Hope this is helpful to those who are interested.
