MindTheGap1918 Posted January 9, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Does anyone what time the beach clubs open on Orient Beach? We will be in port from 7AM-5PM and were thinking of heading to Orient in the morning...Thanks! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor Posted January 9, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2011 We often arrive on Orient between 9:30 and 10:00 and there are many drinking options available by then. If you plan on being even earlier than that, I know that Andy and Cheryl's (formerly Baywatch) is open early for breakfast, and advertises Mimosas and Bloody Marys, but I'm fairly certain that they would also offer anything from the bar if you're interested. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sallyb Posted January 9, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Okay:o I was looking at your walking tour and saw a Maryland flag at Le String. I'm from Maryland, so that peaked my interest. Are they Americans too? Never mind I found the answer. Reading to many posts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more looking to see what time we could get set up on the beach with chairs/umbrellas, but starting my beach day with a mimosa wouldn't be a bad idea :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor Posted January 12, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Andy and Cheryl's also rents chairs, so I think you'd be covered there or elsewhere along the beach no matter what time you arrive. I know that at Orient people arrive and take their chairs, even reposition them, and it might be an hour later that the beach boys show up to collect their fee. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyla16 Posted January 12, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The beach boys on Orient Beach are experts. They know exactly how many ships will be in port and exactly what time they arrive. They will have everything set up before you arrive. The bartender at Baywatch is Ross and he starts serving drinks at 8am. Orient Beach is set up for the cruise ship visitors so you won't have a problem finding anything you need when you get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staplerman Posted January 15, 2011 #9 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Sallyb, the beach bar where you see Maryland/Baltimore Ravens flags is a wonderful place. The owner is from Maryland, was in the grocery biz for many years & retired to St. Martin. If you stop by there, ask for John. He is the primary server and will show you true hospitality. We stayed a week in St. Maarten several years ago and spent each day at this tiki bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallyb Posted January 16, 2011 #10 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Staplerman, what is the owner's name? Maybe I can pick up something from Maryland to take him. Too bad the Ravens lost today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inai Posted January 20, 2011 #12 Share Posted January 20, 2011 We've been to LeString two or three times and the service was always outstanding. The server (don't know his name, but he has a front gold tooth) was very attentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallyb Posted January 20, 2011 #13 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well, hopefully the owners will be there to get their gift from Maryland that I am bringing! Fear the Turtle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I'm glad I found this post....we are cruising on the Eclipse in December and one of our stops is St. Maarten....I was wondering about the bar where the Maryland flag was! Think I'll be putting this on our list of to do's! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
