smilesep Posted June 15, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2013 12 of us will be in St. Martin. Ages 13-76. Three years ago we swam and hung out at Great Bay. This time we are planning on going to Orient Beach. There seems to be many places to rent a chair, unbrella and have some drinks and lunch. I would appreciate any advice on a where to spend the day. Like I said, we are interested in chairs, umbrellas, cold beverages, food and a fun atmosphere that all will enjoy. Jet ski rental close by would be a plus. Also, a place convient to taxi stands since we do have some older family members. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor Posted June 16, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I think you'll find everything you need at Orange Fever. I've recommended it here for quite a while, and is the only one that I have recent experience with -- because it's good and inexpensive and well located and ... You can also see the whole of Orient Beach by taking my Virtual Walk. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randyt56 Posted June 18, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Not sure if they still have this, but Bikini Beach Restaurant used to have a daytime special where you buy lunch for 2, and they give you 2 chairs & an umbrella. Some of the other places may offer similar deals. Any of in the area of Waikiki, Kakao, & Bikini have great views of Orient Bay & people watching.

caribsun Posted June 18, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I can also recommend Orange Fever, jetski rental is very close. I like to sit not in the 1st row of loungers, I like being away from the locals selling their wares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted June 19, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 19, 2013 We took ours back from Pedro's (very close to Orange Fever) and were told it was the normal pick-up place at that section of Orient Beach. Sure enough, a taxi van always has stopped by to see if any were ready to go back. LuLu ~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtaylor Posted June 20, 2013 #9 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Most taxis and a number of tours stop at the parking area adjacent to Pedro's. From there it is only about 100 yards to Orange Fever. Taxi rates are set and posted. (click) gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilesep Posted June 27, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Thank you for all the information. Looks like it's Orange Fever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POF Posted June 29, 2013 #11 Share Posted June 29, 2013 How is the Bikini beach area ? Is Orange Fever right by the clothing optional side ? Not that it really matters - but I would prefer to be a little further away from that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor Posted June 30, 2013 #12 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Bikini area is more expensive. As I mentioned above, Orange Fever is about 100 yards from Pedros, and the clothing optional section of the beach is just beyond that. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare alrichards4003 Posted June 30, 2013 #13 Share Posted June 30, 2013 We loved it, I believe the one we went to was Ethnic, close to Pedros and Orange Fever. When we went to Orient Beach rented a chair which came with an umbrella and a drink, we sat on the beach and later went inside to eat lunch, it was a perfect day. No problem getting a taxi back to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
