We were there a few times through Jan 24th and it was reasonably active. The yellow umbrella section of Club O was nearly all occupied and quite a few walked past that area and set up their own chairs/towels etc. There is a happy hour 130p-230p right there at Perch lite....
The rest of the beach had quite a few patrons with some establishments doing much better than others....some 1/2-3/4 full and the others with a few chairs occupied. Upscale KKO Beach Bar was doing a great business in chairs etc...looks pretty nice.
Edit: rather than being misleading by stating "nearly all occupied" I meant the 30 yellow umbrellas with adjoining chairs that were set up. I will assume more would be made available if needed

We are on the island now and have been to Orient a couple of times. We grabbed chairs at Chez Leandra, as we wished to support the smaller establishments. We walked up the beaches several times and the Club O section was packed. I didn't see any spare chairs, and in fact, it was so busy that we wouldn't have felt comfortable there (in light of COVID) even being outside. If you're looking for people, the density was much, much higher than any other section of Orient Beach.

Are the owners intending to rebuild? What is the status of their Insurance claims concerning the recovery of their losses? I too hope that Club O could rebuild, but I doubt that we will see it anywhere in the near future. I hope I am wrong. We certainly miss our annual trip to Club O. It was the best two weeks of the year for us. We really don't have any plans to return unless Club O gets up and running again. We have no interest in staying anyplace other than Club O.
