are you able to rent chairs and umbrellas yet? We are planning on returning in October and wonder if the beach is open?

If you look at this video on YouTube, supposedly recorded 3 weeks ago (January 1), it breaks your heart but is a good indication that it's going to be awhile before they're back..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6czN2PPPX3A

Might want to check Facebook, according to their newsletter dated October 2. newsletter@cluborient.com

PerchLite2
The new “Perch Lite” Rising!
Paradise is not lost, and one of the best parts of our little piece of paradise here at Club Orient – is already returning! Some of our maintenance staff have been busy resurrecting the Perch Bar & Grill which was swept away by Hurricane Irma a few weeks ago. They have gathered up around 200 beach chairs from their far-flung locations and, as soon as this weekend or early next week, we will begin serving cold beer and tasty burgers from our “Perch Lite” location on the once-again beautiful beach. These workers are doing this purely on a volunteer basis to ensure that we honor our commitment to you to rebuild the resort and bring back “Club O!” Please stay tuned for more updates on our rebuilding operation – and enjoy the sunshine wherever you are!

Club Orient definitely is renting chairs and umbrellas, yes. Or, you can go further down the beach and bring your own chairs and bring your own food and drink. Yes, the beach is open, because it is a public beach and anyone can come, at any time. The beach is still beautiful and welcoming..

jeepers - I saw you note “that boutique is almost ready.” Are you referring to the boutique that was attached to the Club O front desk / offices? Thanks!

Not really. Cedrick was there when we were there ( 4 weeks ago) But that’s it. Since the resort isn’t open, they really have a skeleton crew there
Why do you ask about security?

No, they are building a small boutique near the perch lite hoping to sell some items. Hoping it'll be done before we leave.

We're there typically twice a week and have seen no security yet

It's been a great trip. So many stories people are sharing. One week left. We feel a part of the island.
I'm happy to let everyone know there is lots available.

I am very curious to know what is and isn't open on orient beach. 6 of us coming in June and I am wondering about the beach bars, restaraunt, etc. Our villa is in good shape and ready to go, but I haven't heard much else. June is still a ways away I know. Just wondering. Thanks everyone in advance.
