TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Orient beach today, maybe

So if we were going to orient beach today, sand gravity and all. Which beach bar would you have lunch and why and what did you order? (Excluding the perch, just us. I know it’s liked by many on here and truly understand)

And is anything open on Sunday there?

EVERYTHING is open on Sunday there! Bikini, Kakao, Kontiki, La Playa, etc.

Personally, I am a KKO person. But that is just me. You'd have to read/remember my trip report from May/June to see pics of food. Rose wine. GP at the bar. Oh gosh, I cannot wait another 49 days!!

Thanks beachkitten, I do remember your trip report! We may try that, I have to look back right fast. Thanks again

Sunday lunch is always the biggest day for locals on the French side, it seems. I like KKO also, but next trip I'm hoping to get to LaPlaya. I haven't heard any reports really since they reopened, finally, late this summer.

Where exactly is that place carol? I think it’s right on the beach

Might be holding off on orient for right now, looks like rain over. That too will pass.

I prefer KKO also, but Kontiki is also very nice and if you plan to take a walk in your birthday suits it's a short walk over to the Club O. area beach. Keep in mind that the new KKO is way up there on the northern end of Orient Beach and seemed kind of isolated to me. But, they always have good food & drink there.

Fox--LaPlaya is on the beach, yes. I get confused because everything has moved around but I think it's pretty close to Kontiki.

You have to turn LEFT at the second roundabout, just as you come to the edge of the "village". Down that road on the right.
