BEWARE!!! TOURIST TRAP!! Upon entry, there is a sign stating that you cannot bring outside food or drinks on the property. The place is in the middle of nowhere! It took over 2 1/2 hours to get there! How do you not pick up a drink or snack? THIS WAS NOT LISTED ON THE WEBSITE OR EXPEDIA. The room should have had a queen bed, 2 twins and a futon. The room had a queen bed, a futon with no blanket, and a dusty alcove where the beds should have been. EXPEDIA's site said there would be a dryer. Instead it was just a closet with mops and brooms. They have signs up stating that being rude or unruly will not be tolerated. It seems like people have become upset with them before, so I was hesitant to say anything face to face. They also have you write your credit card info on a piece of paper. I've had my info stolen that way before. A lady showed us the casita, but when I went back to the bar/restaurant/check in area to let them know the remote control needed new batteries. The lady said I forgot to tell you the bedroom TV didn't work. Then the other lady chimed in and said there is no cable. None of this was listed on EXPEDIA or their website. There were no concessions made. They just kept nonchalantly cracking open beers, drinking and eating chips. The nachos and shrimp were overpriced. The shrimp was popcorn shrimp from a box with 15 fries. I felt bullied because what was I going to do? I'd been traveling all day from the US then from the airport. My daughter and I were in an u

This property looks amazing in the posted photos but it’s not even close. Firstly it is so remote, you have to drive a very long dirt road full of potholes and take 2 crank across ferries ( that are falling apart ) to get there . The front desk is a table set up in the bar. The staff are very slow to help with anything. We ordered a large plate of fries and it took almost an hour to get them and there were about 20 fries on the plate for about 15 dollars. We paid extra to have a beach view and our view was a bit of water through a dense mangrove . The tvs did not work, the microwave oven did not work, the ceiling fan in the bedroom was extremely noisy, the towels and sheets had holes and we had a family of ants living in the kitchen. There was no offer of help brining our bags in and very vague overview of the resort facilities upon check in. This is supposed to be a secure , gated resort but they allow anyone to come in. We wanted to relax on the beach for a few days but all of the beach chairs, tables and palapas were taken by non guests . Thankfully we were able to cut our stay here short and go to a better place. I would not recommend staying here .

Orchid Bay is a wonderful place to relax or have a busy fun filled vacation! The staff makes it so easy to fit the trip to your expectations and there is a lot to see and do! The natural beauty is amazing, with the aqua sea at you front door, The restaurant food was delicious The Casitas as they call the rooms are wonderful suites with everything you might need. To sum it up very nice amenities and just classy enough!

This is an ex-pat retirement community, not a resort. There is only one restaurant with pretty limited food options. The water is warm and we had the beach to ourselves. We had an enjoyable time but it wasn't what we were expecting.

The people who live there made it fun. Everyone wss very friendly and welcoming. Our cabana was beautiful and well appointed if we coukd have stayed longer. I'ts a growing community so i doubt i woukd purchase here but I'ts wonderful to visit on your way North. The drinks and food were pricey for what you got and the service (except the girl who worked breakfast) was slow and not so fun. We would stay again based on location but would eat and drink elsewhere.

We had two rooms that were exceptional. Very nicely appointed. The only restaurant remotely close to the rooms was an open air bar / dining. Not great. The beach is mostly gone. It looked like it had at one time been trucked in. The entire country looks to be massively depressed getting to the resort was an adventure in its self the roads are abysmal.
