Carol, thank you for your response. Yes, I’m aware that Le Petit and Le Esplanade are under the same ownership. Such nice people and terrific staff. When we stayed at Le Esplanade, we were welcome at Le Petit to use their beach facilities. We walked there daily, stopping at Rainbow and Frenchys for adult beverages 😊. Back in 2017, we felt comfortable walking to/from dinner. However, today I’m not so sure that would be wise. Hubby and I now in our 70’s….we still like long walks, but now more concerned about safety.

We did visit the Orient Beach and found it more commercial than Grand Case. However, we will consider your recommendations. Are the restaurants in Orient Bay as good as those along restaurant row in Grand Case?

Thanks again for your help.
