The answer is 'not many'. The average demographic of those who stay at Club O is quite a bit older than those who have minor children.

But, considering the number of units at Club O, I'd still say my answer of "not many" is pretty close.

I would agree--especially on the weekend--when one sees a family with children on the beach at Club O, it is more likely to be a local family than someone staying at Club O.

That raises a interesting question, local customs do not frown on the nudity but allow natives to in fact partake? Was curious as on other Caribbean islands that is not the case i.e. St. John USVI.

We just returned last night (sigh) from 2 weeks at Club Orient and there were more families with children (mostly guests) than I had ever seen there. From mid-July through mid-August, they get a free room upgrade if bringing a school-aged youngster.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

It is never the majority, but remember the majority I see is 45+ adults. I've seen all ages. I certainly didn't count, but I remember off hand 5 during our last visit. 2 English speaking teens were with there grandparents, 2 grade schoolers were with parents who were with there parents from Holland (3 generations).A walking baby from France.
What is the total guest population of Club O.

I believe there are approximately 100 units at Club O. At double occupancy, 200 people.

That non- reaction has always been our experience.

sailn said: was there in june. saw one kid. 100s of "older peoples" It does seem to make sense that the kids will be seen during times when school is not in session, doesn't it?

However the tone of your post is somewhat like a neophyte nudist who expects to find a collection of Victoria's Secret Angels basking on Orient beach, only to discover the sand filled with old codgers from the Visiting Angels commercials: "help with meals or light house keeping."

IF it bothers someone that much to see children in a nudist environment, you have a couple of choices ... 1) don't go or 2) ignore that fact that they are there and continue to have a good and relaxing time regardless of "some" children around. Kids are only cute if they are yours. It does not matter if its a clothed or unclothed environment. Screaming kids on a beach is not a peaceful environment.

Nor are loud, obnoxious adults...who SHOULD know better, but sadly, no other adults rein them in.

A thoughtful post FireProf. In truth I can't recall any noisy or crying kids disrupting our visits at Club-O. The simple logistics of a trip to the Caribbean eliminate huge numbers of the junior Brady Bunch invading anyone's immediate beach real estate.
If kids at Club Orient are getting to you, perhaps it's time to take a late afternoon breather and derive over to the Sunset Bar & Grill and join the throng at Maho beach to watch if Captain Wi Tu Lo is on the seniority list of any European carrier flying in to Pricess Juliana. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

This is funny... want a "peaceful environment" ... stay home! Must have been weird coming out of the womb at 60+ yrs old and being so grouchy! Stay away from "family nudist" venues ... you'll be in good company with the rest of the curmudgeon's and ol' farts! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />

Mercy. I think the OP's question has been answered and time to put this one to bed.
