Decided to go to Le Galion beach as I knew that there were quite a few ships in port that day so Orient would be packed. After getting in port, we went to the taxi stand. We were first put in a taxi van with other folks, but none of them were going to Le Galion- they were all going to Orient. But right before we left, they pulled us out as another large group showed up and wanted to go to Galion. ...
My favorite island. This is our second time to St. Martin, and I loved Orient Beach so much the last time, we just went straight there again!! Man, would I LOVE to see Orient Beach at night!! Someday we will come here for a week.... or more! We took the ship's excursion, and it was a really good value.

We had one of their pizzas and some jalapeno poppers for lunch...pretty good and reasonably priced. They also had $10 buckets of Carib beer (7 for the price of 6), as well as a full assortment of frozen ...
