royal girl Posted January 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hi everyone. Starting to make plans for our Oasis cruise in April! :p How do you get to Orange Fever? I understand it's on Orient Beach, but do you just take any cab to Orient Beach and walk until you find it? Or do you ask the taxi to drop you off right at OF? These beach bars look like they are right next to each other, so I'm a little confused. But OF seems to have good reviews on chairs & beers! Also, I'm guessing getting back to the ship is no problem with taxis? First time in St. Martin! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life is Good Cruising Posted January 14, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yes, Orange Fever is on Orient Beach and you will take a taxi from the pier and the driver will drop you off at Orange Fever. The cost of a taxi for 2 people is approx. $ 20, $7 pp for 3 or more in a taxi. No problem getting a taxi back from Orange Fever to the pier.

Suzyrn89 Posted January 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yes, I read that too! When are u going? I'm going 2/14.... Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Would love to hear how the beach is since the hurricane, have been to orient before and love it, some posts saying seaweed is bad, we are going to be there last week of February. We like to take a taxi from the port to Marigot french pasty cafe, grab some items there and then head to orient beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrobstad Posted January 25, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Linel, how's the seaweed? Erosion? Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linel Posted January 27, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Linel, how's the seaweed? Erosion? Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app There was hardly any seaweed on January 15th and the beach lost a bit of surface but not so much. I've been going there for years and it seems the beach erodes a bit every year. Edited January 27, 2015 by linel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol999 Posted January 27, 2015 #11 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks for posting that pic of the beach and the update. I was worried, and Im not going till March 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrobstad Posted January 27, 2015 #12 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Linel, would it be presumptuous of me to say I love you! Thanks so much! I always go to Orient Beach, and with my trip in 20 days, 2 of my 3 destinations had issues.....now, one is resolved. I just have to think about Nassau, where I have been going to the Melia, formerly Sheraton. It's currently under construction on the beach.

gtaylor Posted January 27, 2015 #13 Share Posted January 27, 2015 One must remember that all these beaches are relatively fragile, and any storm or wild weather can change a beach almost (literally) overnight. For Orient Beach, you can just take a peek at the Club Orient Webcam to see what the live condition of the beach happens to be. Their camera is at The Perch, located on the Northern edge of Club Orient property, and points towards Pedro's and (beyond) Orange Fever. Orange Fever is probably less than 200 yards from the camera. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
