We visited Orient Bay back in March, and unlike a lot of the reviews, we had the pleasure of experiencing it for a week. I believe that to fully appreciate Orient Beach, you can't do a day trip as you will most likely be shuttled around in a giant cruise ship flock, and experience the hoards of other visitors that...

The waves were great; cool little hangout bars all along the beach with reasonable prices. Clear water with good size waves. We will definitely return to this beach. One of the best I've been to. More

We decided to spend part of our day in St. Maarten at Orient Bay Beach, and while I'm glad we did I'm not sure we'll go back next time. We liked the beach itself. It is beautiful and the water was fantastic, very clear and very comfortable temperature. There are plenty of people there happy to rent you chairs and... More
