We arrived last Tuesday. Great flight from Miami. Easiest check in ever. Arrived at 10 for 12:05 flight. Curbside check in and at gate in 10 minutes. Arrived SXM 30 minutes early but took awhile for customs and luggage. Used Hertz for first time. Was easy pickup and check in. Spent four nights at Orient each Hotel. Wonderful stay. Nice accommodation right on the beach. Love the dinner options a walk away at Orient Village. Dined at LaPiment twice. Our favorite. Tried two French restaurants the other two nights. Both very good. Lots of seaweed some days but a great job was done each day removing it with tractors and beach cleaning equipment. Was cleaned every morning by 10 o’clock .Moved to Sapphire Beach Club this morning. Lucked out with our room being ready for us at 10am. They always take great care of us. Been going there for 20 years. Dinner tonight at LaRosa. Tradition for us on first night on Dut h side.
