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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
