One of the underappreciated views from Orion's Hill is the sweep of Mamey Peak and all of Bordeaux Mountain (and road). Great as a shower sweeps in.

Other posters have complained about the temperature of the pool. How did you find it?

The views are to die for! The pool looks wonderful (bet colored lights at night make for some interesting pool games :wink: ). Exactly how close are owners to pool and can you see them????? Only one view of inside :cry: ? One shot of you and the lovely wife inside is just a teaser. Come on, Capt. K, a few more inside pics soon come???!!

We had similar views at Bayview, but not nearly as sweeping! Amazing :D

The pool light at Bayview was burnt out when we stayed there. I knew beforehand that the light didn't work so I asked the management company if it could be fixed. They said "no" but when the light's on it just attracts all the bugs into the pool, anyway. Did you notice more bugs flying into the pool with the light on? It's kinda creepy to swim in a dark pool at night.

MLS that view of Mamey Peak and all of Bordeaux Mountain is beautiful and we did see a shower come in right in front of us and we didn't get a drop pretty 8) Beleive I have some on my friends puter I just have to get them. First night cold but it was very cool our first few nights there, in the day when the sun was out perfect.

PA GIRL Viva and Caribean Villas may be others too. We went Viva as it was a little less threw them.

greyhoundmom Be a good girl and I may tease ya some more :D The owners house is right behind you but there veiw is blocked by a shed and landscaping they can't see you from their place I checked. I went over as they were not there our week, they could see you if they were in the drive though
