We rent a car once we reach our condo but we use Wilfred to and from the airport it's just so much easier, we've been using his service for about 5 years now, he's just just such a nice guy always laughing and so friendly you would think that you have known him all your life. Very knowledgeable about the island and will give you tips or ideas about where to go or what to do. We needed some water by the bulk and he told us the best price was Ocean Star market in Orient Village and we saved a bunch, thank you Wilfred!

I would like to give a good word for Wilfred Brooks. Mr. Brooks was our driver for our 10 day stay. He picked us at the airport, took us to get our groceries and to our resort. We used him all week for transportation around the island and to sites to see. Very accommodating and always available to help us out. No parking problems, dropped off and picked us up. Defiantly recommend Mr. Brooks for your transportation needs.

Agreed!
Quick question though - where is Ocean Star Market in Orient Village?

Ocean Star Mkt
If walking from Yellow Sub away from the water, just past Good Morning Cafe

On our ride to the airport, Mr. Brooks told us about his vacation to Aruba , where he ended going to Bonaire on the wrong flight. Ask him about it, it's quite funny!

Thanks! What other items do they have? How does it compare to Petit Casino? In all of my years staying in Orient Village, I have somehow missed this market.

I never payed attentiion to it myself, until Wilfred told us about it. In size it's much smaller than Petit Casino but don't let the size fool you he carries a lot, we went back and forth between the 2. At O.S.M.we bought water in a 24 pack that was $7. something, plus while we were there we ended feeding a cat hanging around our rental that had 5 kittens, a bag of cat food was $1.75, we also bought many other drinks, snacks, garbage bags, dish detergent, batteries, bananas and many other things.
