Orchid Bay Resort

We visited Orchid Bay in late June, and had a wonderful time. Staff were uniformly knowledgeable, helpful, attentive and thorough. Our beach-view casita was lovely, fully-equipped and very comfortable. Food at the restaurant was plentiful and varied (even for folks who have some eating restrictions, as we do). We took advantage of a variety of activities and tours, enjoyed them all, and felt that all were definitely worth our time and money. We were at Orchid Bay during rainy season, and recommend bringing strong bug spray as well as heavy-duty sunscreen - though if you forget, both are available at the sundries shop in the restaurant. If you don't plan on consuming a lot of alcohol, the breakfast-inclusive plan on Expedia may be a better value for you than the all-inclusive available elsewhere. The resort is not glamorous or in the middle of exciting nightlife and luxury shops - if that's the vibe you're seeking, you'll want to go to one of the heavily-touristed towns. Instead, Orchid Bay resort is lovely - as relaxing or full of activity as you'd like, with plenty to do and see and learn, wonderful accommodations, good food, and excellent staff. This was our trip for our 25th anniversary, and we were delighted!

Awesome loved it definitely going back

Great place to escape the fast pace of everyday life and truly relax. The staff was amazing and made us feel right at home. The property is beautiful, and the bay is absolutely stunning. We will definitely be coming back again.

The complementary breakfast was cooked to order with a lot of great options - and the fresh fruit was delicious. We didn't realize before we arrived that each casita is privately owned and rented out, but it didn't really impact our stay. 9a is lovely and private. The staff were all friendly and helpful.
