Hi there,
We stayed at Club orient just a few weeks ago... we love being able to walk out of our room naked, right to the beach which is just there on your doorstep. So for being able to experience that freedom it is great... however, the room we had was not great, a bit like a mountain cabin, quite basic and unwelcoming. The rooms are all privately owned and therefore apparently some are better than others (done up nicely, better decorated, better furniture...). So you need to find out which ones are best and try and ask for one of them on reservation.
The other things is that we are both 31 and often the crowd of people that are at CO are in their 40s or above... we don't care, everyone is welcoming and friendly, but that might make some people hesitate if they're looking for a young partying crowd... dunno.
St Martin is great... we adore it. We have found this guide really helpful in making the most of the island: http//:www-st-martin-maarten.com
Enjoy!
