EXCELLENCE Orient Beach — Luxury Suites in the Former Hotel Mont Vernon
Luxury beachfront suites with 45m²+ living space, three pools, rooftop jacuzzi, and direct Orient Bay Beach access — all inside the reimagined Hotel Mont Vernon.
Why Go
EXCELLENCE represents the high-end evolution of the Hotel Mont Vernon complex. Where the original property offered standard hotel rooms, EXCELLENCE has transformed its section into spacious luxury suites with modern kitchens, designer bathrooms, and balconies that open directly toward Orient Bay Beach, just 50 meters away. This is what Orient Bay looks like when you add three pools, 24/7 security, a rooftop jacuzzi, and an on-site grocery that sells fresh croissants every morning.
The Experience
EXCELLENCE has taken the best position within the Hotel Mont Vernon complex and elevated it to a level that competes with dedicated luxury resorts. Each suite exceeds 45 square meters — generous by Caribbean standards — with full modern kitchens, quality bathrooms, and living areas designed for actual living rather than just sleeping. The balconies are the standout feature: they face the beach and the sea, with unobstructed panoramic views that make the 50-meter distance to the sand feel like a non-issue. The property operates multiple suite categories — Turquoise, Champagne, Silver (two bedrooms), Garden, and the exclusive Greenblue with its own rooftop terrace and private jacuzzi. Three large beachfront pools with sunbeds and shade structures give you alternatives to the beach on lazy days. The on-site infrastructure is designed so you never need to leave unless you want to: a grocery store opens daily with fresh French bread and croissants in the morning, a restaurant/pizzeria/bar serves all three meals, and laundry services handle the practical side. Concierge service and 24/7 camera security complete the package. The owners live nearby and maintain a personal touch that large resort chains cannot replicate — this is luxury with a human scale.
What to Try
Start mornings with croissants from the on-site grocery and coffee on your balcony watching the light change over Orient Bay. Use the three pools strategically — the beachfront pool for morning laps, the quieter pool for afternoon reading. Walk 50 meters to Orient Bay Beach for watersports, beach clubs, and swimming. Book the Greenblue suite for a rooftop jacuzzi experience with panoramic views. Have dinner at the on-site restaurant, then walk the beach under the stars.
Insider Tip
The Greenblue suite's rooftop terrace and private jacuzzi face east, which means you get the sunrise from the water. It is the most requested suite in the complex and books out months in advance for peak season (December through April). Reserve early if this is on your list.
