Thanks for the report. I believe someone said that they are supposed to start on fixing the pool soon. Did you see any evidence of that?

We walked there today. No work on the pool. So much damage to the units and didn’t see any work being done. We spent the day at Kakao and it was wonderful to see old friends. It looks great and bathrooms are great! We had lunch and both of us wanted the Mahi-mahi which they were out of. Otherwise we enjoyed our time there.

seascape--thanks for the report. Did you happen to take a picture of the menu from Kakao? Ditto! I have seen some photos and the portions and plating look a bit different than what I recall. Would be interested to see what the menu prices are, and new offerings.

Sorry, I did not. Pretty much the usual. Lots of pizzas, several fish entrees, burgers, etc. Prices seemed to be about the same if just a few dollars more. Food was okay, not great but it is the beach so we didn’t expect gourmet.

This post to reassure all travelers who are wondering about the Mont Vernon Hotel and its condos. We are owner, French, we live here. Our residence is inhabited, operational for a large majority of apartments, owners, tenants and tourists live on site. The pool is not rebuilt for the moment but you are directly on the Orient Beach still beautiful ! Some of our roofs are flat at the moment but they have been sealed, the new frames and roof sheets will be laid later. Overall the residence is well lit. We have a private security service 7/24. The gardens are well maintained. Complete renovations will not begin this winter 2019, at best in the spring or summer. You will find here an excellent accommodation option, with an exceptional view of the beach and the ocean, bonus the calm. Walking 10-15 minutes to the nudist beach of the Club Orient is also a very good walking activity for your health. We reply to everybody, we do not erase any post, our photos are real. Proud to welcome you soon Thanks to Steven for this space of expression. Sandy 🌴🐬🌞🥂 ————- Ce post pour rassurer tous les voyageurs qui s'interrogent à propos du mont vernon hotel et de ses appartements. Nous sommes propriétaire, français, nous vivons ici. Notre résidence est habitée, elle est opérationnelle pour une grande majorité d’appartements, propriétaires , locataires et touristes vivent sur place. La piscine n’est pas reconstruite pour le moment mais vous êtes direct sur la plage d’Orient Bay toujours aussi belle ! Certains de nos toits sont plats pour le moment mais ils ont été étanchés, les charpentes neuves et les tôles de toit seront posées ultérieurement. Globalement la résidence est bien éclairée. Nous avons un service de sécurité privée 7/24. Les jardins sont bien entretenus. Les travaux de rénovation complète ne débuteront pas cet hiver 2019, dans le meilleur des cas au printemps ou cet été. Vous trouverez donc chez nous une excellente option d’hébergement, avec une vue exceptionnelle sur la plage et l’océan, le calme en prime. Pour vous rendre à pied en 10-15 minutes à la plage naturiste du Club Orient, c’est aussi une très bonne activité de marche pour votre santé. Nous répondons à tous, nous n’effaçons aucun post, nos photos sont réelles. Fier de vous accueillir prochainement Merci à Steven pour cet espace d’expression Sandy 🌴🐬🌞🥂

Thanks for the report:) We are back on the island and first time since Irma. We have previously stayed on occasion up at Mt Vernon however this time we decided not to as the pics on the Airbnb and VRBO postings did not jive with what we expected after a hurricane had hit the area. All the listings we looked at showed old pictures of the grounds and buildings We took a drive up there yesterday and can confirm the information in your posting. Glad we did not book into the area. We have been coming to the island for years but feel many of the listings were not accurate to what has actually happened to the area. The island is an amazing place for a holiday and the people are incredible. We will continue to return as they rebuild however people need to exercise caution when booking accommodations.
