Rooms were excellent, spacious and modern, but I found two cockroaches in the bathroom during my stay, and the towels were old and worn. Extra towels were not provided upon request. Coffee was available in the room but every time I asked for more (coffee at breakfast was bad), I was told that guests are only allowed two coffee capsules per day per room. Breakfast was below average. Breakfast hours were 7 am to 10 pm. One morning I wanted to take a piece of bread at 10:10 am, and bread was still out on the bread board. I was told by staff that I was not allowed to take it because breakfast was over at 10 am. The next day I came a little after 7 am, but yogurt was not available until 7:15. Despite a good location, I will not choose this hotel again.

The location at Orient Bay is perfect. Just a few steps from a beautiful beach and comfortable lounge chairs. The restaurant for lunch is delicious and very convenient to have the food brought to you at the beach. Proximity to the plaza with about 10 different restaurants, most of them delicious. Some areas of improvement/caution: - Breakfast, which was included was the same every day. A little variety would be good. - They give you a card per person that you exchange for a beach towel every day and get back when you return the towel; you get a bracelet to identify you as a guest for breakfast or beach chairs; and then you have your key card. Lose any of these and they charge you. Most resorts I have been to don’t do this. A bit too much to worry about for someone trying to relax on vacation. - No dinner served at the hotel restaurant.

We had a superb week at La Playa! All came as advertised. The room was modern, comfortable and quiet. The beach is gorgeous - pristine sand with easy access to the warm, turquoise water. It certainly can be windy at times but you can always find respite in the pool area if you’d like, and if water sports are your thing you’ll be in heaven. The staff were all very friendly and a great source of advice about anything you may want to do outside the resort. Particular shout out to Elena, whom we happened to interact with most at the front desk. There are plenty of excellent restaurants in the village, along with a small grocery store. Combined with the resort’s breakfast, we had no shortage of food options. One thing to be aware of is that there are no ATM’s within walking distance, so it’s best to get some cash at the airport for tips or small purchases. Not a problem if you rent a car but taxis can get expensive in a hurry. Already thinking of our next trip to the island!

A true piece of paradise! My best friend and I visited La Playa for a girls trip for three days and wish we stayed longer. The staff at La Playa are all very friendly, professional, positive and helpful. Room was clean and exactly as described/seen in the photos. La Playa is located within steps to the downtown of Orient Bay where you have many great dining options. The beach and beach service is to die for! Cannot wait to return.

If you happened upon this resort and am wondering if you should go…. please do not hesitate a single second longer! This was the absolute best experience and vacation my husband and I have ever been on. We have a hectic day to day schedule and wanted a vacation that would be beautiful first and foremost, but also extremely relaxing. We got both and couldn’t be happier. The hotel serves a delightful breakfast serving traditional American items as well as continental. If you haven’t had a Nespresso provided in your room before breakfast you are sure to have a wonderful outside overlooking the incredible water. The beach is kept clean every morning which is steps away from your room. You are provided lounge chairs, umbrellas, and towels for your day as well as food and drink service. Lunch is served at an additional price so you must try it out, but your room also has a kitchenette which was amazing! We walked steps to a supermarket and bought many items to make ourselves lunch on other days. The hotel does not serve dinner, but steps away are many amazing restaurants serving every type of food to match your tastes. The staff at the hotel are all very friendly and accommodating. A simple Bonjour will break the ice and you are on your way to great conversation with them. With all that said… if you are looking for the most relaxing vacation of your life this is the resort to stay at.

Disappointed
We were so disappointed with La Playa this time. In November 2023 we stayed at this hotel and loved it, so we decided to go back and spend another week, even though it was much more expensive than other hotels in Orient Bay. Apparently, the management was never there. It seems that housekeeping lacks training, and they would come in at odd hours. (one day at 9:00am, another after 3:30pm) They never change the water for the mops, taking the dirty water from room to room. Furthermore, they only changed the bed sheets after 5 days because I asked them to. The vane of the A/C was falling apart so we asked them for some tape to fix it and stop it from falling. Hopefully all this will be better after the coming renovation. We had to buy our own paper towels and dishcloths for the kitchen, as they don’t supply you with any, and our entire sink area was full of water due to the leakage of the coffee maker. What’s the use of a complete kitchen with detergent and sponge and nothing to dry the dishes/utensils with? The pillows were lousy. The rules for using the beach loungers and umbrellas seemed to have changed: you cannot take any of your own snacks, not even water. You must use their restaurant that now belongs to a separate owner. (this isn’t disclosed when making reservations and not standard in other St Martin hotels, where we have been coming to for the last 25 years). As a precaution for being rainy season, they taped out 1/3 of the parking spaces within the gates in case it
Forgetful housekeeping
