Orient Beach Hotel

Suite magnifique, vue incroyable, personnel très souriant et serviable

Un peu cher tout de même

Spent a wonderful 5 nights at OBH. Rooms are large and comfortable. Photos depicted on website are true to form. Would have loved an upper level room but we were not so lucky. Staff were all kind. Was happy with the breakfast that was included in the room cost, as well as the beach loungers/umbrellas. No need to worry about adapters, they can be borrowed at the front desk. This was not our first trip to the island, so we had no desire to rent a car. Taxied to/from airport, Pinel ferry & Friars/ Happy Bay. Walked to Orient Village each evening for fabulous meals. Issues: Room 402 1) Slider did not lock! If we had an upper floor room this would not be a concern. Staff attempted to fix it. The first night that did not happen, we needed to use the hurricane shutters for safety purposes. Next day, it was repaired only to fail 2 more times during our stay. Desk was notified with each incident. Actually, one of the employees mentioned this was noted by the vacationer who had checked out before us. Manager was made aware. At checkout I advised this would be reported on TA. Please invest in a new lock . 2) Water pressure in shower was awful. I assumed this was normal on this side of the island. Imagine my surprise on check out day, that my sons room (201) had great water pressure. Go figure. Desk was advised at check out.

We block out weeks for trips then look for last minute deals, sometimes works. This trip got good deal on airfares to Saint Martin. Many places sold out so we stayed 4 days at other resort, 5 days Orient Beach Hotel. OBH only had lowest level suite available, which was fine. Nice room, ground level, next to pool, view of bushes and pool, view of beach off in distance. Reception staff very nice, helpful. Continental Breakfast buffet at KKO beach club ok, servers and staff dogs all nice. OBH is towards east end of Orient Beach, easy walking up to L’Astrolabe, over to Orient Village, down beach to 6-8 beach bar/restaurants, and nude beach at east end. Nude beach has about 100 pairs of beach chairs/umbrellas to rent, plus Peach Bar & Grill, great tiki bar with picnic tables. Didn’t rent a car, took taxis to Grand Case, Marigot, Simpson Bay, probably spent about same as rental car. Great dining all over the French side.

Emplacement

Great

We were so glad we found the Orient Beach Hotel for our recent trip to St. Martin. After spending two great nights near Maho Beach, we wanted to stay someplace much quieter, with access to great food and prime beachfront real estate. We found exactly what we were looking for at OBH. Our room was lovely and spacious, with a patio that was great for relaxation. The bed was comfortable, and my daughter found the pull out extra bed to be comfortable enough. Service at the hotel was also quite friendly and accommodating. The Orient Beach Hotel also provided access to several beach clubs in the area - most notably the KKO Beach Club in front of the hotel. Continental breakfasts were available at the beach club as part of your overnight stay, though you could order more if you wanted. Beach chairs were also available, and we found it to be a great spot to relax. Most importantly, by staying at the Orient Beach Hotel we found someplace that we can't wait to return to again and again!

The pool needs a hand rail for entry; Taxi service is very undependable (not really the hotel’s fault but guests should be advised)

Just got back from a wonderful stay at the Orient Beach Hotel in Saint Martin. This hotel is a hidden gem! The room is immaculate, beautifully decorated, and has a stunning view of the sea. The location is perfect. You can walk to coffee shops, small grocery stores, as well as your choice of almost 10 great restaurants. But what really makes this place special is the staff at the front desk? Keem was so helpful when my husband needed to see a doctor. He phoned the doctor’s office personally and made sure we got to see someone that day. This was truly a godsend. Also, Junior and Saelle, were so helpful with dinner reservations as well as cab rides and airport transfers. Myriam, the general manager, heads a great staff at this hotel. Since we were coming from the United States, we used their New Jersey phone number where Sharon Bennett was so helpful in making the reservation and helped us with immigration forms needed to enter St Martin. This whole trip had an easy button that made it so enjoyable. Book your vacation here and you won’t be disappointed!

We had not been to St Martin before this trip. We arrived on an overcast and windy day, following what seemed like 401 traffic. We walked into the room, it was clean and spacious. Water was available, the shower was hot, and the walk out to the beach was calling! Paradise! Restaurants were close by, and the area was perfect for short walks and exploring. We loved the experience. I would love to return!
