This is our second time staying at La Playa. Staff was amazing. Rooms were clean and spacious. Breakfast was very good with plenty of options. There is a good amount of seaweed this time of year but it didn’t affect our stay. Overall great resort. Will definitely return

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

La Playa has one of the nicest beaches we have been to. The grounds are well kept and the facilities are always being improved.

We loved the small town feel, everything was in walking distance. Small shops, and over 12 great restaurants, just a few steps from the hotel

If you like a quite vacation this is the place clean roo.s ac is fabulous walking distance to orient bch

We loved La Playa! The staff was great-anything we requested was handled very promptly. Our room was very comfortable and clean. Terrific shower with large rainhead as well as a handheld. Always hot water (some other hotels we have stayed at in St. Martin not always the case). Very comfortable bed and excellent water pressure. Wonderful buffet breakfast with loads of options. Lovely beach restaurant and comfy beach chairs. I also had a wonderful hot stone massage with Nya.We have already booked our next trip!

Great time

The location of the hotel is perfect, right next to a small shopping plaza whichbhas about 8 restaurants. We tried a new restaurant every night and none disappointed. The staff at the hotel was vert friendly and assisted my husband in setting up our anniversary surprise for me The room was big and beautiful, bed was very comfortable, showet great. Parking was right on the property. Breakfast was included, had enough choices to enjoy it. Would love to come back again.

Nice staff

Great location next to the beach and lots of restaurants. Nice cozy property with an upscale room.

Really great environment and people

I love the property and the stay was wonderful. I just didn’t like the fact that ants were a problem in the room especially in my bed. However the views, breakfast and the staffing were awesome.

Orient Bay in St. Martin is a must stay. La Playa is as advertised, we enjoyed our time in their care.

Location on the beach was the single best feature. Food at Breakfast was great, with Gluten free bread available. Room was perfect, and pool was great. Walking distance to eating and other activities, but very quiet and safe. Our 4th trip for a reason!

It is an expensive hotel but very cheaply operated. Wi-Fi had to be logged onto every time you use it, breakfast was very common, no variation from day to day. Cockroaches were in the room, they are too cheap to clean the seaweed from their section of the beach, except when cruise ship tourists are coming. Not a good value for the money!

My wife and I spent a week at La Playa Orient Bay and absolutely loved it. The property is not exactly “upscale” or fancy but is definitely nice, clean, and very comfortable. It’s steps from the beautiful beach and an easy walk to numerous quality restaurants of various cuisines as well as a small market. Also loved the beach bar and its friendly French proprietor GP. Staff is friendly and helpful. Only small negative is that other properties are much closer than they appear in the pictures, but that didn’t detract from our stay at all. We’d love to go back.

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at La Playa in Saint Martin, and it is always such a joy! The staff from the front desk is incredible, and we always enjoy the atmosphere of our rooms. The location is prime with access to The Village with multiple amazing restaurants. Our favorite part is getting to know and see the staff at the bar and restaurant for La Playa each year! They are always excited to welcome us back, and we have grew great connections with them. We look forward to coming back again!

What a fantastic resort!! It was actually better than the pictures portrayed. It is literally on the beach and right out the gate is an amazing array of restaurants. The staff was absolutely fantastic. They arranged a few things for us that worked out beautifully. The food was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Playa and would recommend it. It is exactly what a beach vacation in the Caribbean should be.

Very quiet and quaint place that allows vacation to feel relaxing, rejuvenating and refreshing!

Close proximity to restaurants, shops and beach were great!

Our favorite hotel on the island -- we've actually been there twice in the last 6 months. Nice spacious room, dining and bar on site, short walk to excellent restaurants and of course the beach. We will definitely return!

Love the location and some of the amenities. Air conditioning was weak.

The only bad part was that the hotel was far from everything that there was interest on the island and every taxi ride was minimum 35 US dollars each way, so the taxis rides added up and was expensive. Other than that is was excellent.

The staff at the front desk are wonderful. The rooms are freshly updated generously sized and well appointed. Overall an excellent experience. Room for improvement on the beach as half of the chairs are reserved for rentals and many resort guests will miss out on front row ocean views to those coming to rent seats. The breakfast buffet pancakes were dry and cold every day. The other bread options were good. The pool area is nice but the pool liner is in need of a stretch and the pool filtration was questionable. Location was spectacular for getting around.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay, was well serviced by the attentive and friendly staff, and recommend this hotel highly! Beautiful, inviting and fun!

We spent a wonderful week at La Playa! The location, the property and the staff were amazing!

The property was beautiful and clean, and the staff was very helpful and kind. The beach area was beautiful as where the chairs and umbrellas set up every morning. The free breakfast was a plus but a little boring… The same thing every day… Maybe a little change would’ve been nice. Our room was listed as Oceanview, but we really only had a peekaboo glance. That is why I gave it a good instead of an excellent. Otherwise fantastic. However, our room was spacious, clean and absolutely beautiful. I loved sitting out on the balcony every morning and reading my book with a cup of coffee. Restaurants were close and if you needed a cab to go to the other towns, the front desk handled that beautifully.

Outstanding customer service. Beautiful beach and picturesque mountains with dining within 200 ft of resort. It’s located on the French side, so be prepared for 220v plug ins. Bring your 110v to French 220v adapter for wider pronged plugs you may have. Very little shopping on this end of the island. And those French door locks were very different as well. Once again, the staff at LaPlaya was super nice and took care of everything we asked for. Would highly recommend!!

Everything was fantastic! The room was comfortable, big and the view was great. The staff was excellent especially Alexandra, Elena, and Bénédicte. The pool and beach were awesome. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful Hotel and absolutely perfect location. And staff is so friendly, gracious, helpful and welcoming! Will definitely be back!

This property had great dining that you can walk to,Plus the Beach right outside your door,and very nice customer services where always willing to help.

How friendly everyone was and how everything was nearby. Reception staff was exceptional and the resort is impeccable definitely returning and the restaurants were all 5 stars
