Some as shown in this video are now real gems of luxury condos depending very much on style and taste of their individual owners.
The dozen three to four story apartment blocks are differentiated by their distance to the beach, some are right at the edge of the beach or the communal pool, some require a bit of walking. The condos with beach view grant a spectacular outlook on Orient Beach, on the turquoise waters and the small islands in front of Orient Bay. If you are an early riser, you can watch absolutely gorgeous sunrises over Orient Bay.
Orient Beach is the most the most popular and the busiest beach on the island, probably the most famous beach in the entire Caribbean. The beach is reputed as much for its natural beauty and setting as it is for being the island´s foremost swimsuit optional beach. Famous Club Orient, the island´s only naturist resort, is located at the opposite end of the beach on the southern edge.
The condos come in different sizes, one or two bedrooms, and have varying features. Some owners did much more than refurbishing the former hotel rooms.
