Has anyone been to Esmeralda Resort on Orient Beach St. Martin lately? I'd like to get some first-hand feedback on the nudity/topless "climate" at Esmeralda.
The wife and I visited Esmeralda Resort a dozen plus years ago, and are considering a vacation there again.
Nudity was accepted/overlooked on "Coco Beach" at Esmeralda then, but was definitely not the norm. But topless on the beach and at the bungalow pools was allowed and common.
I know that Club Orient nude resort is just down the beach, but two problems there: The wife likes the upscale feel of Esmeralda.
AND, she would never, ever go to a nudist resort. She is neither a nudist or exhibitionist. But she has enjoyed being naked at Esmeralda and other clothing optional resorts. Don't ask, I don't know the answer.
Appreciate any input, thanks

Sad to say, but I believe all the resorts on Orient Bay were badly damaged or destroyed in the hurricane a couple of years ago.
I found this on Trip Advisor:
"As of May 2018 the destruction is still bad. I wouldn't call it total. They are just starting to rebuild, reportedly because of slow French insurance companies, but re-construction has just begun to start."
