Wondering how many places are open for lunch and drinks on orient beach?

Staying in Orient Village for the week bringing three others couples, hoping for some activity on the beach.

Many restaurants in the Village. The new restaurants should be open by next week.....Aloha, Brothers, LaString, Sun Beach Clubber etc. You also have Papaguyos, The Perch, Pedro's, Kontiki, Waikiki, Kakao, Palm Beach, Bikini, Coco. Al Dente is near the round about to Cul de sac / Anse Marcel. Rancho Del Sol is on the hill after you exit the village on the main road heading toward Grand Case. Have fun.

Lots! Palm Beach,cocoa beach, Waikiki, la playa, bikini beach, kakao,kontiki,pedros, perch & papagayo. our personal favourite was bikini beach. To my knowledge none of the new places are serving food at this time.
Enjoy wherever you eat, it's all good!

I guess we were typing at the same time. Lol

I'm not so sure about the resto's south of Kontiki, all the others are open as mentioned.
Sun Beach and Aloha seem close, but no utilities, so SBC serves drinks out a cooler, Aloha yet to put out chairs. Le String has chairs. Brothers is behind the other 3 but working on it inside. The other 4 have zero activity and will be a month at least once they start. Bear in mind the buildings are something of shell, the owners have to do everything to get them going and the interior design is not very friendly to running a resto or adding the fitments needed.
Only positive was Aloha was getting their propane tank filled today while we walked back to our apartment, but who knows when that request was originally placed!
