“Best trip ever! Club O has thought of everything you need!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

Can't say enough good things about Club Orient! As I sit here in my lovely room using my free WIFI, I am looking forward to my complimentary coffee in the great shop at the resort. My just baked and delivered baguette for $.75 or I may splurge and get a chocolate pastry since it is my birthday. My room is nicer than most other hotel rooms at other resorts on the island. We are right on the beach. Chairs and umbrella included with the room on the beach. Staff could be more accommodating. I want to move here! Seriously, I have talked about spending the months of January and February here at Club O when we retire. Even if clothing optional is not your thing, Club O is still the best place to stay in the world! Personally, I only go nude on the beach. I like clothes at other times. We can stay here much cheaper than Disneyland or really anywhere. They don't nickel and dime you like most full service resorts. We are world travelers and have the money to stay at high end hotels, but so far St. Maarten, Orient Beach and especially Club O can't be beat!

Room Tip: All rooms are right on the best beach on the planet. Can't go wrong here.

“Get Over Yourself!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013 via mobile

From the moment you step foot in the front door, till the moment you leave, you ask yourself is this heaven? Hundreds of naked people going about their lives, enjoying life to the fullest. No one judges, no one is serious, no one is perfect, but that is what makes it heaven. Walk in the door, strip and relax, make new friends, and don't take life seriously. Who cares how old, fat, saggy, dark, light, scarred, or self conscience you are, you can talk with no one or everyone, whatever. The resort is on one of the best beaches in the world. The snorkeling right on the beach is like swimming in a fish tank. The clothed gawkers are never a bother, because they are out numbered 50-1. This was our 4th year in a row and we will return once a year for the rest of our lives.

“Superb Resort With The Nicest People!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

Club O is by far one of the best nude resorts anywhere. Accomodations, The people, The Beach.....You can't beat it. The nicest people go to Club Orient; down to earth, not pretentious.
The food (from burgers to excellent seafood and gourmet) and beverages are great...or you can bring your own and eat in your room, while making a cold drink. No hustle-bustle of normal resorts with pushy/arrogant people. A great place to get rid of tan lines and meet some of the nicest people!

Room Tip: Look at the resort map to pick the best~

“Island in the Sun”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

We were not disappointed. A stay at Club Orient is restorative from beginning to end. Kudos to the staff for their warm welcome, cheerful greetings, professional attention to guests. Front desk staff, the women in La Boutique, housekeepers and maintenance crew always had a smile. I won't mention names, hence avoiding omission. Club O staff is great!
We used the mini suite kitchen to prepare our meals and we ate well. We ate once at
Papagayo, enjoying delicious mussels and King crab. Nancy and Barack were attentive and service was prompt.
Early morning beach walks are always a highlight for us as are evening walks under the stars. In between, there is reading, swimming, walking the grounds, meeting new people, connecting with others met over the years, sharing food, drinks and stories.
This is a family friendly resort and it is lovely to see multi generational groups, comfortable in a naturist setting.
We are already looking forward to our next stay, relaxing in a warm, stress free environment where "cold" and " icy" refer only to drinks.

Room Tip: We have never had a "bad" room, but prefer the mini suite circle with back porches facing...

“Club O--- one more time”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

Made it to Club O once again over New Years. Meeting our old friends and meeting new friends is really our favorite part of vacationing at CO -----hard to be pretentious when you are nude! We've reviewed CO in the past but feel a few additional comments are deserved. First, the front office staff are wonderful. Karma can take care of any problem with amazing efficiency---I wish she worked for us!! The boutique staff are friendly and helpful and Willie at the Perch Bar is amazing. One downside this year: The food at the Papagayo was better than ever---but the service was not up to previous year's excellence. Apparently there has been some server turnover and hopefully this will resolve with better training.
A couple of new finds in the area--- and in the most unexpected location! Behind the Simply Market [on the way to Grand Case] are two small wine shops. The Grape Leaf [only a few weeks old] is tiny, with a small but select group of French wines at extremely reasonable prices. Also has a few delicacies such as canned French foie gras. Bacchus is much larger, with a larger selection and deli like counters of delicacies. But their lunch is truly fabulous. It is not cheap--- you can easily spend over $100 per person including wine-- but every bite is worth it with the food being comparable to that of a Michelin 3-4 star restaurant. You will not be disappointed!
So make it to Club O, enjoy the wonderful beach, the friendly staff and guests, the Papagayo and the local shops and restaurants. It needs to be experienced!
