We're returning for our usual three weeks next month; we stay on the Dutch side, so I can't help you with information on La Hoste. I do know that La Playa is opening in November, I think the 17th is the date. The larger beach bars along Orient beach have reopened after Irma, and are opening on weekends with the covid situation. I expect as high season arrives they'll be open daily as usual, but that's just a guess. Restaurants in Grand Case are reopening after utility work on the Boulevard closed the street for a couple of weeks. Others have mentioned that Orient Village has a number of excellent restaurants, and they are open. I'll report our findings here while we're on the island.
